Hinweise

• Aus ergonomischen Gründen wird empfohlen, die Grundfarbe Blau nicht auf dunklem Untergrund zu verwenden (schlechte Erkennbarkeit, Augenbelastung bei zu geringem Zeichenkontrast).

• Aus ergonomischen Gründen (flimmern) sollten nur Darstellungen bei Vertikalfrequenzen ab 70 Hz (ohne Zeilensprung) verwendet werden.

• Die Konvergenz des Bildes kann sich auf Grund des Magnetfeldes am Ort der Aufstellung aus der korrekten Grundeinstellung verändern. Zur Korrektur empfiehlt es sich deshalb, die Regler an der Frontseite für Konvergenz so einzustellen, daß die getrennt sichtbaren Farblinien für Rot, Grün und Blau bei z.B. der Darstellung eines Buchstabens zur Deckung (Konvergenz) gelangen. Siehe hierzu auch die Erklärungen zu Konvergenz.

Warning on power connections

• Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord,

be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.

For the customers in the U.S.A.

If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards.

Example of plug types

Use of the tilt-swivel

This monitor can be adjusted within the angles shown below. To find the center of the mon itor’ s turnin g radius, a lign the ce nter of the monitor’s screen with the centering dots on the stand. Hold the monitor at the bott om with bo th ha nd s whe n yo u tu rn it horizontally or vertically. Be careful not to pinch your fingers at the back of the monitor when you tilt the monitor up vertically.

for 100 to 120 V AC

• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds

after turning off the power to allow the static elec tricity on the screen’s surface to discharge.

• After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized

(degaussed) for about 5 seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away from the monitor.

The equipment should be in stalled near an easily accessible outlet.

for 200 to 240 V AC

Installation

Do not install the monitor in the following places:

• on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,

draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes

• near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place

subject to direct sunlight

• in a place subject to severe temperature changes

• in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock

• on an unstable surface

• near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a

transformer or high volta g e po w er lines

• near or on an electrically charged metal surface

Maintenance

• Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning

liquid, do not use any t ype of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen’s coating.

• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or

abrasive items su ch as a ballpoint pe n or screwdrive r. This type of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

• Clean the cabin e t, pane l and co nt rols wi th a soft cloth ligh tly

moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pa d, sc ouring powder or solv ent, s uch as a lcohol o r benzene.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.

When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of the screen. For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in the monitor’s frequency range (horizontal: 30 – 85 kHz, vertical: 48 – 120 Hz). If the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal is received.

(See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.)

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,

NERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor wi ll automatically reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below

Power mode Power consumption 1 (power)

normal operation

1 standby ≤ 15 W green and orange

2 suspend (sleep)*

3 active off** (deep sleep)*

power off 0 W off

* “Sleep” and “deep sleep” are power saving modes defined by the

Environmental Protection Agency.

** When your computer is in a power saving mode, MONITOR IS IN

POWER SAVE MODE appears on the screen if you press any button on the monitor. After a fe w seco nds, the monitor enters the power saving mode again.

If thin lines appear on your screen (damper wires)

The lines you are experiencing on your screen are normal for the Trinitron monitor and are not a malfunction. Th ese are shad ows from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture gri lle and are most noticeable when the s creen’s background is light (usually white). The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a Trinitron picture tub e un ique by allowing more lig ht to reach the screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.

On-screen messages

If no picture appears on the screen, one of the following messages appears on the screen. To solve the problem, see “Trouble symptoms and remedi es” on page 14.

Input signal condition

The input signal condition OUT OF SCAN RANGE

indicates that the input signal is not supported by the monitor’s specifications.

NO INPUT SIGNAL

indicates that no signal is input.

MONITOR IS IN POWER SAVE MODE

indicates that the computer is in power saving mode. This message is displayed only when your computer is in a power saving mode and yo u press any one of th e buttons on the monito r.

Trouble symptoms and remedies

If the problem is caused by the con nected computer or other equipmen t, please refer to the connected equipment’s instruction manual. Use the self-diagnosis function (page 16) if the following recommendations do not resolve the problem.

Symptom Check these items No picture

If the 1 (power) indicator is not lit • Check that the power cord is properly connected.

• Check that the 1 (power) switch is in the “on” position.

If the NO INPUT SIGNAL message appears on the screen, or if the 1 (power) indicator is either orange or alternating between green and orange

If the MONITOR IS IN POWER SAVE MODE message appeared on the screen, or if the 1 (power) indicator is either orange or alternating between green and orange

• Check that the video signal cable is properl y connected and all plugs are firmly seated in their sockets (page 6).

• Check that the HD15 video in put connector’s pins are not bent or pushed in.

Problems caused by the connected computer or other equipment

• Check that the computer’s power is “on.”

• Check that the graphic board is completely seated in the proper bus slot.

• Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields such as other monitors, laser printers, electric fans, fluorescent lighting, or televisions.

• Move the monitor away from power lines or place a magnetic shield near the monitor.

• Try plugging the monitor into a differen t AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.

• Try turning the monitor 90° to the left or right.

Problems caused by the connected computer or other equipment

• Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.

• Confirm that the graphics mode (VESA, Macintosh 16" Color, etc.) and the frequency of the input signal are su pp ort ed by this monitor (Appen dix ). Even if the frequency is within the proper range, some video boards may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to sync correctly.

• Adjust the computer’s refresh rate (vertical frequency) to obtain the best possible picture.

• Adjust the brightness and contrast (page 9).

• Degauss the monitor* (page 11).

• Select MOIRE ADJUST and adjust the moire cancellation effect (page 11).

Symptom Check these items Picture is ghosting • Eliminate the use of video cable extensions and/or video switch boxes.
