Introduction

Your new LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor 43B1-M offers numerous features and functions, for
example:

• TFT display (Thin Film Transistor; active matrix)

• minimal space requirements thanks to slim casing

• height adjustment and ability to turn (portrait mode)

• optimum ergonomic characteristics (totally distortion-free, excellent picture definition and colour

purity right into the corners)

• high degree of brightness and good contrast

• high resolution (1280x1024) for displaying the information content of a conventional 19-inch

screen with CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)

• presentation of up to 16.7 million colours (in conjunction with an appropriate graphics card)

• automatic scanning of horizontal frequencies from 30 to 80 kHz and refresh rates (vertical

frequencies) from 55 to 75 Hz (all absolutely flicker-free)

• digital screen controller with microprocessor for storing 18 different display modes

• freely adjustable colour alignment for matching the screen colours to the colours of various

input and output devices

• convenient operation via integrated OSD (On-Screen-Display) menu

• VESA-DDC compatibility

• VESA-FPMPMI compatibility (Flat Panel Monitor Physical Mounting Interface, mechanical

interface to swivel arm and wall bracket); 75 mm hole spacing

• plug&play capability

• power management for reducing power consumption when the computer system is not in use

• compliance with the recommendations in accordance with TCO ’99

• compliance with the ergonomic standards ISO 13406-2

In normal screen mode (dark characters against a light background) the monitor satisfies the
ergonomic requirements for the GS symbol.

This Operating Manual contains important information you require to start up and run your LCD
monitor.

A screen controller with VGA interface is required to control the 43B1-M LCD monitor. The monitor
processes the data supplied to it by the screen controller. The screen controller/the associated
driver software is responsible for setting the modes (resolution and refresh rate).

When putting the monitor into operation for the first time, the screen display should be optimally
adapted to the screen controller used and adjusted in accordance with your needs (see the
"Changing the monitor settings" section in the"Operation of the monitor" chapter).

Target group

You don't need to be an "expert" to perform the operations described here. Do, however, read the
chapter "Important notes" in the Operating Manual of the computer and in this Operating Manual.

In the event of any problems occurring, please contact your sales outlet or our Help Desk.

Further information

Details of how you set the resolution and refresh rate are provided in the documentation on your
screen controller/the associated driver software.

Safety

This device complies with the relevant safety regulations for data processing equipment, including
electronic office machines for use in an office environment. If you have any questions, contact your
sales outlet or our Help Desk.

• Use only a type "CH-1204" or "STD-1204" power adapter.

• The display surface of the LCD monitor is sensitive to pressure and scratches. You should

therefore be careful with the display surface so as to avoid lasting damage (Newton rings,
scratches).

• If the device is brought into the installation site from a cold environment, condensation can

form. Before operating the device, wait until it is absolutely dry and has reached approximately
the same temperature as the installation site.

• During installation and before operating the device, please observe the instructions on

environmental conditions in the "Technical data" chapter as well as the instructions in the
"Installing an ergonomic video workstation" chapter.

• To ensure sufficient ventilation, the monitor may only be operated with the monitor base, swivel

arm or wall bracket.

• Ensure that the power socket on the device or the grounded mains outlet is freely accessible.

• The ON/OFF switch does not disconnect the device from the mains voltage. To completely

disconnect the mains voltage, remove the power plug from the socket.

• Lay all cables so that nobody can stand on them or trip over them. When attaching the device,

observe the relevant notes in the chapter "Connecting the monitor".

• No data transmission cable should be connected or disconnected during a thunderstorm.

• Make sure that no objects (e.g. jewellery chains, paper clips, etc.) or liquids get inside the

device (danger of electric shock, short circuit).

• In emergencies (e.g. damaged casing, elements or cables, penetration of liquids or foreign

matter), switch off the unit, disconnect the power plug and contact your sales outlet or our Help

Desk.

• The screen background lighting contains mercury. You must observe the applicable handling

and disposal safety regulations for fluorescent tubes.

• Only qualified technicians should repair the device. Unauthorised opening and incorrect repair

may greatly endanger the user (electric shock, fire risk).

• You may set only those resolutions and refresh rates specified in the "Technical data" chapter.

Otherwise you may damage your monitor. If you are in any doubt, contact your sales outlet or

our Help Desk.

• Keep this operating manual together with your device. If you pass on the device to third parties,

you should include this manual.

Cleaning

• Always pull out the power plug before you clean the monitor.

• Do not clean any interior parts yourself, leave this job to a service technician.

• Do not use any cleaning agents that contain abrasives or may corrode plastic.

• Ensure that no liquid will run into the system.

• Ensure that the ventilation areas of the monitor are free.

• The display surface of the LCD monitor is sensitive to pressure and scratches. Clean it only

using a soft, slightly moistened cloth.
Wipe the monitor casing with a dry cloth. If the monitor is particularly dirty, use a cloth which has

been moistened in mild domestic detergent and then carefully wrung out.

Transport

• Transport the monitor with care and only in its original packaging or another corresponding

packaging fit to protect it against knocks and jolts.

• Never drop the LCD monitor (danger of glass breakage).
