Safety Precautions and Maintenance

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE THE

FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND USING THE MULTISYNC FE SERIES 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.

• Use the monitor in a clean, dry area.

• 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.

• 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.

• To separate the equipment from the power source you have to remove the plug from the inlet socket.

• When operating the MultiSync monitor with its AC 220-240V 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. (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.

E-8

100

• 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.

• 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 which is easily accessible.

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

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 40 cm and no further away than 70 cm from your eyes. The optimal distance is 60 cm.

• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 6 m 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.

CAUTION

E-9

100

• 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 controls 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 75-160 Hz

• 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

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

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

• The signal cable should be completely connected to the display

card/computer.

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

Image is scrolling or unstable

• Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.

• Check the pin assignment and signal timing of your monitor and

display card with respect to the recommended timing and pin assignment.

• If the Macintosh 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 (no green, orange or yellow color can be seen)

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

be connected.

Picture is fuzzy or color looks blotchy

• If the picture is fuzzy, adjust the Moire Canceler Control. If the color

looks blotchy, adjust the Brightness, Contrast or GlobalSync Controls, or use the EdgeLock control to change modes.

• Access the Degauss Control through OSM. Activate the Degauss

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

Degauss Function is used a second time.

Picture bounces or a waving pattern is present in the picture

• Move electrical devices that may be causing electrical interference away

from the monitor.

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.

E - 16

100

Display image is not centered, too smaIl, 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).
