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.

For the customers in the UK

If you use the monitor in the UK, be sure to use the appropriate UK power cord.

Example of plug types

for 100 to 120 V AC for 200 to 240 V AC for 240 V AC only

The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.

Installation

Do not install or leave the monitor:

• In places subject to extreme temperatures, for example near a radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the monitor to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could cause deformations of the casing or malfunctions.

• In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.

• Near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field, such as a TV or various other household appliances.

• In places subject to inordinate amounts of dust, dirt, or sand, for example near an open window or an outdoor exit. If setting up temporarily in an outdoor environment, be sure to take adequate precautions against airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise irreparable malfunctions could occur.

Handling the LCD screen

• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the monitor by a window.

• Do not push on or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity or cause LCD panel malfunctions.

• If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen returns to normal as the temperature rises to a normal operating level.

• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image may appear for a while. The residual image will eventually disappear.

• The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.

Note on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

Please note that the LCD screen is made with highprecision technology. However, black points or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen, and irregular colored stripes or brightness may appear on the LCD screen. This is not malfunction. (Effective dots: more than 99.99%)

Maintenance

• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning your monitor.

• Clean the LCD 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 LCD screen’s coating.

• 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 benzine.

• 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.

• Note that material deterioration or LCD screen coating degradation may occur if the monitor is exposed to volatile solvents such as insecticide, or if prolonged contact is maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.

Transportation

• Disconnect all cables from the monitor and hold the LCD display firmly by the body. Be careful not to scratch the screen when transporting. If you drop the monitor, you may be injured or the monitor may be damaged.

• When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the original carton, stand lock pin, and packing materials.

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 DPM (Display Power Management) Standard compliant, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption as shown below.

** The maximum power consumption is 1.0 W in 100-120 V AC areas.

Reducing the power consumption

(ECO mode)

If you press the ECO button on the front of the monitor repeatedly, you can select the screen brightness.

ECO USER

ECO

ECO HIGH

ECO MIDDLE

ECO LOW

Each mode appears on the screen and the screen brightness is reduced according to the mode. The menu automatically disappears after about 5 seconds. Screen brightness and power consumption are reduced as the mode changes from HIGH to MIDDLE to LOW.

The default setting of the screen brightness is set to USER. If you select USER, you can adjust the backlight level by pressing the m/M buttons, the same as when you select BACKLIGHT using the menu.

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 automatic picture 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 frequency: 28–80 kHz Vertical frequency: 48–75 Hz Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals that do not match one of the 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 function 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 in memory as user modes and automatically recalled whenever the monitor receives the same input signals.

Note

While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only the 1 (power) switch will operate.

NOTE

Only while the ECO mode is set to USER, are the BACKLIGHT, CONTRAST, and BRIGHTNESS items of the menu available (page 12).

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/pitch), and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen.

The factory preset mode

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. If the input signal matches the factory preset mode, the picture appears on the screen automatically with the appropriate default adjustments.

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 professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

x Why do we have environmentally labelled com-

puters?

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 concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during 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 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 environmental 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) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, 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 its operational policy.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

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

TCO Development

SE-114 94 Stockholm, Sweden Fax: +46 8 782 92 07 Email (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO’99 approved and labelled products may also be obtained via the Internet, using the address: http://www.tco-info.com/

x 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 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.

* processes. Flame

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 doses. The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labelled unit.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture 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.

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.

Exemples de types de fiches

pour 100 à 120 V CA

L’appareil doit être installé à proximité d’une prise de courant aisément accessible.

pour 200 à 240 V CA

Installation

N’installez pas et ne laissez pas le moniteur :

• A des endroits exposés à des températures extrêmes, par

exemple à proximité d’un radiateur, d’un conduit de chauffage ou le rayonnement direct du soleil. L’exposition du moniteur à des températures extrêmes, comme dans l’habitacle d’une voiture garée en plein soleil ou à proximité d’un conduit de chauffage, risque d’entraîner des déformations du châssis ou des dysfonctionnements.

• A des endroits soumis à des vibrations mécaniques ou à des

chocs.

• A proximité d’appareils générant de puissants champs

magnétiques, comme un téléviseur ou d’autres appareils électroménagers.

• A des endroit soumis à des quantités inhabituelles de poussière,

de saletés ou de sable, par exemple à côté d’une fenêtre ouverte ou d’une porte donnant sur l’extérieur. En cas d’installation temporaire à l’extérieur, veillez à prendre les précautions requises contre la poussière et les saletés en suspension dans l’air. Faute de quoi des dommages irréparables risquent de se produire.

Manipulation de l’écran LCD

• Ne laissez pas l’écran LCD face au soleil, car vous risquez

sinon de l’endommager. Faites donc attention si vous installez le moniteur à côté d’une fenêtre.

• N’appuyez pas sur et veillez à ne pas érafler la surface de

l’écran LCD. Ne posez pas d’objets lourds sur l’écran LCD. Vous risquez sinon d’altérer l’uniformité de l’écran ou de provoquer un dysfonctionnement de l’écran LCD.

• Lorsque le moniteur est employé dans un environnement froid,

il est possible qu’une image rémanente apparaisse sur l’écran. Il ne s’agit pas d’un dysfonctionnement. L’écran recouvre sa condition normale dès que la température est revenue à un niveau normal.

• Si une image fixe reste affichée pendant une longue durée, il se

peut qu’une image rémanente apparaisse pendant un certain temps. Cette image rémanente finira par disparaître.

• Le panneau LCD chauffe en cours d’utilisation. Il ne s’agit pas

d’un dysfonctionnement.

pour 240 V CA uniquement

Remarque sur l’affichage à cristaux liquides (LCD - Liquid Crystal Display)

Veuillez noter que l’écran LCD est issu d’une technologie de haute précision. Toutefois, il est possible que des points noirs ou des points brillants de lumière (rouge, bleu ou vert) apparaissent constamment sur l’écran LCD, ainsi que des bandes de couleurs irrégulières ou une certaine luminosité. Il ne s’agit pas d’un dysfonctionnement. (Pixels actifs : supérieurs à 99,99%)

Entretien

• Débranchez le cordon d’alimentation de la prise secteur avant de procéder au nettoyage de votre moniteur.

• Nettoyez l’écran LCD avec un chiffon doux. Si vous utilisez un liquide de nettoyage pour le verre, n’utilisez pas de nettoyant contenant une solution antistatique ou tout autre additif similaire, car vous risquez sinon de griffer le revêtement de l’écran LCD.

• Nettoyez le châssis, le panneau et les commandes à l’aide d’un chiffon doux légèrement imprégné d’une solution détergente neutre. N’utilisez aucun type de tampon abrasif, de poudre à récurer ou de solvant tel que de l’alcool ou de l’essence.

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

• Sachez qu’une détérioration des matériaux ou du revêtement de l’écran LCD risque de se produire si le moniteur est exposé à des solvants volatils comme des insecticides ou en cas de contact prolongé avec des objets en caoutchouc ou en vinyle.

Transport

• Débranchez tous les câbles du moniteur et saisissez fermement les deux côtés de l’écran LCD en prenant soin de ne pas le rayer pendant son transport. Si vous laissez tomber le moniteur, vous risquez de l’endommager ou de vous blesser.

• Pour transporter ce moniteur en vue de sa réparation ou de son expédition, utilisez le carton, la goupille de verrouillage du support et les éléments d’emballage d’origine.
