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 einzüstellen, 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.

Precautions

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 monitor's turning radius, align the center of the monitor's screen with the centering dots on the stand. Hold the monitor at the bottom with both hands when you turn 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 VAC

Before discoimecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the screen’s surface to discharge. After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized (degaussed) for about 2 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 installed 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 voltage power 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 type 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 such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type

of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzene.

Restoring the color from the EASY or sRGB menus

The colors of most display monitors tend to gradually lose brilliance over several years of service. The IMAGE RESTORATION feature found in the EASY and sRGB menus allows you to restore the color to the original factory quality levels. The explanation below explains how to restore the monitor’s color from the EASY menu.

1 Move the control button

> to select EASY or

sRGB mode.

2 First move the control button to select tAa

(IMAGE RESTORATION). Then move the control button

The picture disappears while the color is being restored (about 2 seconds). After the color is restored, the picture reappears on the screen again.

Notes

• Before using this feature, the monitor must be in normal operation mode (green power indicator on) for at least 30 minutes. If the monitor goes into power saving mode, you must return the monitor to normal operation mode and wait for 30 minutes for the monitor to be ready. You may need to adjust your computer’s power saving settings to keep the monitor in normal operation mode for the full 30 minutes. If the monitor is not ready, the following message will appear.

Technical Features

Preset and user modes

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. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.) 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 - 121 kHz, vertical: 48 - 160 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.

Note for Windows users

For Windows users, check your video board manual or the utility program which comes with your graphic board and select the highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance.

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA, ENERGY 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 will automatically reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below.

Note

The RESET button does not function when On (CONTROL LOCK)

is set to ON.

If OUT OF SCAN RANGE appears on the screen

^NITOR IS WORKING

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. 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). The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a

Trinitron picture tube unique by allowing more light to reach the

screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.

Précautions

Avertissement sur le raccordement à la source d’alimentation

• Utilisez le cordon d'alimentation fourni. Si vous utilisez un cordon d'alimentation différent, assurez-vous qu’il est compatible avec votre tension d’alimentation secteur locale.

Pour les clients aux Etats-Unis

Si vous n’utilisez pas le cordon d’alimentation approprié, ce moniteur ne sera pas conforme aux normes FCC en vigueur.

Exemple de types de fiches

pour 100 à 120 V CA

Avant de débrancher le cordon d’alimentation, attendez au moins 30 secondes après avoir actionné le commutateur d’alimentation de manière à permettre la décharge de l’électricité statique à la surface de l’écran. Après que le courant a été branché, l’écran est démagnétisé pendant environ 2 secondes. Cela génère un puissant champ magnétique autour de l’encadrement métallique qui peut affecter les données mémorisées sur une bande magnétique ou des disquettes situées à proximité. Placez ces systèmes d’enregistrement magnétique, bandes et disquettes à l’écart du moniteur.

Entretien

• Nettoyez l’écran à l’aide d’un chiffon doux. Si vous utilisez un produit nettoyant pour vitres, n’utilisez aucun type de produit contenant une solution antistatique ou des additifs similaires parce que vous risquez de rayer le revêtement de l’écran.

• Ne frottez pas, ne touchez pas et ne tapotez pas la surface de l’écran avec des objets abrasifs ou aux arêtes vives comme un stylo à bille ou un tournevis. Ce type de contact risque en effet de rayer le tube image.

• Nettoyez le châssis, le paimeau et les commandes à l’aide d’un chiffon doux légèrement imprégné d’une solution détergente neutre. N’utilisez jamais de tampons abrasifs, de poudre à récurer ou de solvants tels que de l’alcool ou du benzène.
