Recommended Use cont.

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 from your eyes. The optimal distance is 23 inches for the MultiSync® LCD1810X™.

•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

*1 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.

*2 The number of colors that can be displayed decreases.

As a digital-only connector, analog support is not provided off a DVI-D connector. As a TMDS-based digital only connection, only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DVI-D and other TMDS-based digital connectors such as DFP and P&D.

DFP (Digital Flat Panel): An all-digital interface for flat panel monitors which is signal compatible with DVI. As a TMDS-based digital only connection, only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DFP and other TMDSbased digital connectors such as DVI and P&D.

P&D (Plug and Display): The VESA standard for digital flat panel monitor interfaces. It is more robust than DFP since it allows for other options off a signal connector (options like USB, analog video and IEEE-1394-995). The VESA committe has recognized that DFP is a subset of P&D. As a TMDS-based connector (for the digital input pins), only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between P&D and other TMDS-based digital connector such as DVI and DFP.

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 DVI/D-SUB button is in the correct position.

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 (no green or amber color can be seen)

•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).

Display image is not sized properly

•Use the OSM Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the H. Size.

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

No Video

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

TCO’95

LH-18S01-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.

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

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 cont.

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 and switches. 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. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.

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.
