Automatic picture quality adjustment function

(analog RGB

signal only)

When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically adjusts the picture’s position and sharpness (phase/p itch), an d ensures that a clea r picture appears on the screen.

The factory preset mode

When the monitor receives an inpu t 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. If the input signal matches the factory preset mode, the picture appears on the screen automatically with the appropriate default adjust ments.

If input signals do not match one of the factory preset modes

When the monitor receives an input signal that does not match one of the factory preset modes, the automati c pict u re quality adjustment function of this monitor is activated to ensure that a clear picture always appears on the screen (within the following monitor frequency ranges): Horizontal fre quency: 28–92 kHz (analog RGB)

28–75 kHz (digita l RG B)

Vertical frequency: 48–85 Hz (analog RGB)

60 Hz (digital RGB) Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals that do not match one of t he factory preset modes, the monitor may take a longer time than normal to display the picture on the screen. This adjustment data is automatically stored in memory so that next time, the monitor will f unction in the same way as when the monitor receives the signals that match one of the factory preset modes.

If you adjust the phase, pitch, and picture position manually

For some input signals, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor may not completely adjust the picture position, phase, and pitch. In this case, you can set these adjustments manually (page 13). If you set these adjustments manually, they are stored i n memory as user modes and automatically recalled when ever the monitor receives the same input signals.

TCO’99 Eco-document (for the black model)

x Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professiona l use . Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burde n on the environment and also to th e further development of envi ronmentally adapted electronics products.

x Why do we have environmentally labelled com-

puters?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an establi she d method for encouraging t he adaptation of goods and services to t he environment. The ma in problem , as far as comp uters and other electroni cs equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to sa tisfactorily r ecycle the majo rity of elect ronics equipmen t, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

There are also othe r characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are im portant from the viewpoints of bot h th e work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation ha ve 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 continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

x What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international and e nvi ronmental labelling of persona l computers. The labelling scheme was de ve lo ped as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confede rat ion of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Natu re Conservation) and Statens Energim yndighet (The Swedish Nat ion al Energy Administration).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: envi ronment, ergonomics, usabilit y, emissio n of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrica l and fire safety.

The environmental demands impos e restrictions on the presence and us e of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated fla me retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinate d sol vents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements it s o perational policy.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduct io n of electric and magnetic fie ld s, physical and visual ergonomics and good us ability.

Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental re qui rements met by this product. The complete environment al criteria document ma y be ordered from:

x Environmental requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wire s , casings and housings. Their purpose is to preve nt, or at least to del ay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the pla s ti c i n a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants cont ain bromine or chloride, and those flame retard ants are chemica lly 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 effect s, including reproductive da mage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative retardants have bee n found in human blood and resear che r s fe ar t h at 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.

* processes. Flame

Cadmium**

Cadmium is presen t in rec hargeable batteri es and in th e colour- generatin g layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium da ma ge s the ne rvous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batterie s , th e colour-generat ing layers of display sc reens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes foun d in batt erie s, rel ays an d swit ches. It dama ges the nervous system and is toxic in hi gh doses. The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that bat te rie s may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not pr esen t in a ny of the e lectr i cal o r ele ctr onics components associated w ith the labelled un it.

CFCs (freons)

The relevan t TCO’99 requirement states th at neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufa ct ure and assembly of the product. CF Cs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and t hereby d amage the ozone la yer in t he strato sphere , causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant mela noma) 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 be en developed.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within

living organisms.

** Lead, Cadmi um and Mercury are heav y me ta ls which are Bio-

accumulative.

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 lev el in one or more sta ges. T he le ngth o f tim e to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.
