LCD module, text may appear different. 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.

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.

• Check the Vacation Switch should be in the ON Position. Front power
Switch 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 the signal input, “INPUT 1” or “INPUT 2”.

Power Button does not respond

• Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off
and reset the monitor.

• Check the Vacation Switch on the right hand side of the monitor.

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-Mitsubishi Electronic

Displays recommends using a screen saver at regular intervals
whenever the screen is idle.

English-24

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 total. When the display mode is
changed, the OSM Image Adjust settings may need to be readjusted.

• 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 60 Hz refresh rate.

Message “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed (screen is
either blank or shows rough images only)

• Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSM
warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed: Either signal clock or
resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.

• OSM warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed on a blank screen:
Signal frequency is out of range. Choose one of the supported
modes.

LED on monitor is not lit (no green or amber colour
can be seen)

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

English

Display image is not sized properly

• Use the OSM Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the
Coarse total.

• 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.)

No Video

• If no video is present on the screen, turn the Power button off and
on again.

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

TCO’99

This is a translation of the original English TCO'99 document.

MultiSync LCD1850E (LCD1850E)

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

English

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.

English-27

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

Bioaccumulative.

TCO’95

MultiSync LCD1850E Black Model (LCD1850E-BK)

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.

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 back­light 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).
