Q&A

1. General Q & A

Question Answer

How can I change the frequency? Frequency can be changed by reconfiguring the video

card.

Note that video card support can vary, depending on the
version of the driver used.
(Refer to the computer or the video card manual for
details.)

How can I adjust the resolution?

How can I set the Power Saving
function?

The monitor makes a sound when it
is turned on.

How can I clean the outer
case/Picture tube?

Windows 95/98/ME/XP/2000: Set the resolution at the
Control Panel, Display, Settings.

Windows 3.1: Change the resolution and the colors using
the VGA Utility provided by the video card.

* Contact the video card manufacturer for details.

Windows 95/98/ME/XP/2000: Set the function at
BIOS-SETUP of the computer or the screen saver. (Refer to
Windows/Computer Manual).

Windows 3.1: Set the function using the VGA
Utility provided by the video card.

This is normal as some sound may be generated when
the metal case and the electromagnet, which are
installed to block any electromagnetic waves, interact
with each other.

Disconnect the power cord and then clean the monitor
with a soft cloth, using either a cleaning solution or plain
water.

Do not leave any remains of the detergent nor scratch
the case. Do not allow any water to go inside the monitor.

2. MouScreen Q & A

Question Answer

I cannot run the program. Check to ensure the USB port of the monitor is connected

to a root port or a hub USB port connected to the computer.
If not connected properly, the MouScreen program will not
run, displaying the following message:

The screen condition has changed
drastically while being adjusted.

The Highlight Zone does not appear
even though I have turned the Highlight
Zone on.

If you see the above message even when the monitor port
is correctly connected to the computer, this means the
operating system does not recognize the USB monitor. In
this case, disconnect and then reconnect the USB
port/cable before running the program. The operating
system should now recognize the USB monitor.

Make sure you close the MouScreen program before
changing the vertical frequency or resolution. Do not run the
MouScreen program together with OSD.

Otherwise, the program may not work properly as data
stored in the monitor may be different from those in the
program.

If you close and rerun the program, it will work properly
because it reads the modified data while reloading.

Check to see if the Contrast value of the Highlight Zone is 0
or if you changed the mode without closing the program.

To protect the monitor life, the Highlight Zone automatically
turns Off after three hours of constant use, and may not be
reflected in the program. Check if three hours has elapsed
since you turned it on. In this case, you would simply turn it
on again, selecting the On checkbox.

TCO'95-Ecological requirements for personal computers (TCO applied model only)

AB general requirements

AB2 Written Eco-document acompanying the products
Congratulations! You h ave just pu rchased a TCO'95 approv ed and labell ed product ! Your choice h as provided y ou with
a product developed for prof essional use. Your purch ase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the envi ronment
and to the further development of environmentally-adapted electronic products.

Why do we have environmentally-labelled monitors?

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 monitors and other electronic equipment are concerned is
that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it has not been
possible so far for the majority of electronic 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 monitor, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from both the
working and natural envir onment viewpoints. Since all types of conventional electr icity generation have a negative eff ect
on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.) it is vital to conserve energy.
Electronic equipment in offices consumes an enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left running
continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme, which provides for international enviro nmen tal labelling
of monitors. 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 among other things restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals,
brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freo ns), and chlorinated solvents. 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 conducts its operations policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the monitor after a
certain period of inactivity shall reduce its power cons umption to a lower level, in one or more s tages. The length of tim e
to reactivate the monitor 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, along with physical and visual ergonomics and
good usability.

TCO'95 is a co-operative project between(3 logos)

Environmental Requirements

Brominated flame retardants are presen t in printed circuit bo ards, cables, wires, casings and housin gs. In turn, they delay
the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant subs tances. These
are related to another group of envi ron menta l t oxins , P CB s, which are s us pected t o giv e rise to si mil ar har m, includi n g
reproductive damage in fish eating 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. TCO'95 demand
requires that plasti c components weighi ng more than 25 grams must not contain organic ally bound chlorine an d 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 colour generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium
damages the nervous sys tem 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 colour-generating layers of display screens must not contain any
cadmium.

Mercury

Mercury is sometimes found in batteri es, relays and swit ches. Mercury damages the nervous syst em 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.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing of expanded foam for
packaging. CFCs break down ozo ne and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causin g 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.

TCO'99-Ecological requirements for personal computers (TCO applied model only)

Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a product
developed for professional us e. Your purchas e has also contrib uted to reduci ng the burden on the environment and also
to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for an international environmental and
quality labelling 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), Statens Energimyndighet(The Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB.

The requirements cover a wide range of issuse: environment, ergonomics, usability, reduction of electric and magnetic
fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

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 concern ed,
is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the prod ucts and du ring their manufacture. Since it is not so
far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, 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 electricity generation
have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital
to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running con tinuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy .

What does labelling involve?

The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature
Conservation). These demands impose restrictio ns on the presence and use o f heavy met als, bromi nated and chlo rinated
flame retardants, CFCs(freons)and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared fo r recycling
and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy 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.

Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental requirements
Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent,
or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant
substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to
another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs
are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating 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.

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

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium
damages the nervous system and is toxic in high dos es. The relevant TCO'99 requ irement states that batteries, the co lour­generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found i n batt eries, r elays and switch es. It damag es the n ervous sy stem an d is toxi c in high doses.
The relevant TCO'99 requirement stat es that batteries ma y not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercu ry is not
present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labelled unit. There is however one
exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as today there is no
commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a Mercury free alternative is available.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufact ure and assembly
of the product. 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 e.g.
increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

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

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

MouScreen

Matters to note when changing modes

Make sure your MouScreen program is closed before changing the vertical frequency or
resolution.

Otherwise, the program may not work properly as data stored in the monitor may be different
from those in the program.

If you close and rerun the program, it will work properly because it reads the modified data.

Conflict with OSD

In principle, the OSD (on-screen display) does not work when this program runs on the system.
As the program shares internal data with the OSD, it will not work properly. Close the
MouScreen program before running the OSD.
