Safety Precautions and Maintenance

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE THE

FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND USING

THE MULTISYNC® LCD COLOR MONITOR:

• 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 dangerous

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.

• The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from the power

supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power outlet that is easily accessible.

• When operating the MultiSync LCD monitor with its AC220-240V worldwide power 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.

• Use supplied AC Adapter. Do not place any objects onto the AC Adapter and do not use

the AC Adapter outdoors.

• The inside of the fluorescent tube located within the LCD monitor contains mercury.
Please follow the bylaws or rules of your local municipality to dispose of this tube properly.

• 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 is 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.

• The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system

CAUTION

from the power supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power
outlet which is easily accessible.

• Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.

(Type H05VV-F should be used except in UK)

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR

CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE

FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

• For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for
warm-up.

• 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 16 inches and
no further away than 28 inches
optimal distance is 23 inches for the MultiSync
LCD1810™ and 24 inches for MultiSync LCD2010™.

• 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 the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using

any cleaning solution or glass cleaner!

• 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.

• Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid
image persistence (after-image effects).

• Get regular eye checkups.

Ergonomics

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

• Adjust the Brightness until the bachground 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

• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60-76Hz

• Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and
may produce eye fatigue to insufficient contrast

Environmental Considerations

* Interpolated Resolutions: When resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel count of the LCD module, text may appear

choppy or lines may appear to be bold. This is normal and necessary for all current flat panel technologies when displaying
non-native resolutions full screen. In flat panel technologies, each dot on the screen is actually one pixel, so to expand
resolutions to full screen, an interpolation of the resolution must be done. When the interpolated resolution is not an exact
multiple of the native resolution, the mathematical interpolation necessary may cause some lines to appear thicker than others.

Environmental Considerations

* Interpolated Resolutions: When resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel count of the LCD module, text may appear

choppy or lines may appear to be bold. This is normal and necessary for all current flat panel technologies when displaying
non-native resolutions full screen. In flat panel technologies, each dot on the screen is actually one pixel, so to expand
resolutions to full screen, an interpolation of the resolution must be done. When the interpolated resolution is not an exact
multiple of the native resolution, the mathematical interpolation necessary may cause some lines to appear thicker than others.

Troubleshooting

No picture

• The signal cable should be completely connected to the display card/computer.

• The display card should be completely seated in its slot.

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

• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or
system being used. (Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics
mode.)

• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recom­mended settings.

• Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.

•

Check that the BNC/D-SUB button is in the correct position (MultiSync® LCD

Power Button does not respond

• Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the
monitor, or simultaneously press the RESET and Power buttons.

Image persistence

• Image persistence is when a “ghost” of an image remains on the screen even after
the monitor has been turned off. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persis­tence is not permanent. To alleviate image persistence, turn the monitor off for as
long as an image was displayed. If an image was on the monitor for one hour and a
”ghost” of that image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase
the image.

NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC Technologies recommends using a
screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle.

Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent

• Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.

• Use the OSM™ Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by
increasing or decreasing the Fine control. When the display mode is changed, the
OSM Image Adjust settings may need to be re-adjusted.

• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility
and recommended signal timings.

• If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-interlace and use 60Hz refresh
rate.

LED on monitor is not lit

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

• Make certain the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the
keyboard or mouse).

TCO’95

MultiSync® LCD2010

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’95 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’95 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),
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The
National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).

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.

TCO’95 is a co-operative project between TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional
Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and
NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).

Environmental Requirements

Brominated flame retardants
Brominated 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

78133813.wpc 10/28/99, 3:22 PM23

TCO’95 cont.

casing can consist of flame retardant substances. These are related to another group of
environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar harm, 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’95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not
contain organically bound chlorine and bromine.

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’95 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’95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million)
of cadmium. The colourgenerating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

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

TCO’95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million)
of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics
components concerned with the display unit, except the back-light system.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing
of expanded foam for packaging. 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’95 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the
manufacturing 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.
