• DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no user serviceable parts inside and

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous shock hazards or other
risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.

• Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch danger-

ous voltage points, which can be harmful or fatal or may cause electric shock, fire
or equipment failure.

• Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may

cause shock or fire.

• Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the

monitor may fall, causing serious damage to the monitor.

• Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric motors and other

devices such as external speakers or fans, which may create strong magnetic
fields.

• If possible, position the monitor so that it is facing the east to minimize the effects

of the earth’s magnetic field.

• Changing the direction of the monitor while it is powered on may cause image

discoloration. To correct this, turn the monitor off for 20 minutes before powering
it back on.

• When operating the MultiSync FE

supply, use a power supply cord that matches the power supply voltage of the AC
power outlet being used. The power supply cord you use must have been ap­proved by and comply with the safety standards of your country. (Type H05VV-F
should be used except in UK)

• In UK, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a black (5A) fuse

installed for use with this monitor. If a power cord is not supplied with this monitor,
please contact your supplier.

Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the monitor.

• If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

• If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.

• Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can properly

dissipate. Do not block ventilated openings or place the monitor near a
radiator or other heat sources. Do not put anything on top of monitor.

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR

CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE

FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

• Adjust the monitor height so that the top of

the screen is at or slightly below eye level.
Your eyes should look slightly downward
when viewing the middle of the screen.

• Position your monitor no closer than 12 inches

and no further away than 28 inches from your
eyes. The optimal distance is 24 inches.

• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on

an object at least 20 feet away. Blink often.

• Position the monitor at a 90° angle to

windows and other light sources to minimize
glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect
on your screen.

• If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.

• Clean your monitor regularly. Use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and a

non-alcohol, neutral, non-abrasive cleaning solution or glass cleaner to
minimize dust.

• Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.

• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

• Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or

reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head
while you are typing.

• Get regular eye checkups.

Ergonomics

To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:

• Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears

• Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting

• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals

• Use the preset Color Setting and Sides Left/Right controls

• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 75-120Hz

• Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see

and may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient contrast

Troubleshooting

No picture

• Display card should be completely seated in its slot.

• Power Button and computer power switch should be in the ON position.

• Signal cable should be completely connected to display card/computer.

• Check connector for bent or pushed-in pins.

Image is scrolling or unstable

• Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.

• Check pin assignments and signal timings of the monitor and your display card with

respect to recommended timings and pin assignments.

• If the Macintosh cable adapter is used, check for proper connection or make sure the
display card is Macintosh compatible and that the card is properly seated in the
computer.

LED on monitor is not lit

• Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.

Picture is fuzzy or color looks blotchy

• Adjust Brightness and Contrast Controls.

• Access the Degauss Control through OSM™ controls. Activate the

Degauss Control.
CAUTION: A minimum interval of 20 minutes should elapse before the

Deguass Control is used a second time when not switching
between modes.

Picture bounces or a wavy pattern is present
in the picture

• Move electrical devices that may be causing electrical interference away
from the monitor.

• See inside cover of User’s Manual for FCC information.

Edges of the display image are not square

• Use the OSM Geometry Controls to straighten the edges.

• If possible, position the front of the monitor facing east.

Display image is not centered, too small, or too large

• Use the OSM Size and Position Controls to adjust the image.

Thin lines appear on your screen

• Thin lines are normal for an aperture grille CRT and are not a malfunction.
These are shadows from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille and
are most noticeable when the screen’s background is light (usually white).

Black vertical lines are visible on the screen

• Thin vertical black lines on one or both sides of the screen. This minor condition is
caused by grille element overlap which can occur during shipping.

• Position an open white window over the affected area of the screen and maximize
the brightness and contrast controls. This will cause localized heating of the overlap
which will clear in a few minutes. Be sure to readjust the brightness and contrast
controls back to the normal viewing level after this procedure.

TCO’99

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and
labeled product! Your choice has provided you with a product devel­oped for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to
reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further
development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encourag­ing the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as
computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful
substances are used both in the products and during the manufacturing. Since it has not been
possible for the majority of electronics equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most
of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter Nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are
important from the viewpoints of both the work (Internal) and natural (external) environments.
Since all methods of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the
environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to
conserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of energy
since they are often left running continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international and
environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint
effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet
(The Swedish National Energy Administration).

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of
electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands concern restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals,
brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other
things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an
environmental plan which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its
operational policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display,
after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or
more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction
of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental Requirements

Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. In turn,
they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of
flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride and these are
related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to severe
health effects, including reproductive damage in fisheating birds and mammals, due to the bio-

accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear
that disturbances in foetus development may occur.

TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain
flame retardants with organically bound chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants are allowed in
the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the
nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.

TCO’99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colourgenerating layers of certain
computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colourgenerating layers of display screens and the
electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches, Mercury damages the nervous system
and is toxic in high doses.

TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any Mercury. It also demands that no
mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the display unit.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and
thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of
ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).

The relevant TCO’99 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacturing
and assembly of the product or its packaging.

*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
