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.

• 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 chapter entitled "Technical data" as well as the instructions in the chapter "Installing an ergonomic video workstation".
• To ensure adequate ventilation the monitor may only be operated with the monitor foot installed.
• The colour monitor must not be exposed to strong magnetic fields (e. g. caused by magnetic paper clip holders or loudspeakers). Strong magnetic fields could result in a permanent blotchy image.
• The monitor is automatically degaussed when switched on. This results in a magnetic field around the metal edge of the picture tube, which may damage the data on data carriers nearby. Therefore, never keep magnetic data carriers near the monitor.
• The device automatically sets itself to the correct voltage within the range from 100 V to 240 V. Ensure that the local mains voltage lies within these limits.
• The device must be installed in such a way that the user has good access to the appliance socket.
• The ON/OFF switch does not disconnect the device from the line voltage. To disconnect the line voltage completely, 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.
• Please ensure that no objects (e.g. necklaces, paperclips etc.) or liquids can get into the interior of the device (this may cause an electrical shock or 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.
• Only qualified technicians should repair the device. Unauthorised opening and incorrect repair may greatly endanger the user (electric shock, fire risk).
• Tampering with the device, in particular adjusting the high voltage or installing a different type of CRT tube, may result in a large amount of X-ray radiation being emitted. Devices modified in this way no longer comply with their license and may not be used.
• 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 these.

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.
- When cleaning the surface of the screen, always use a soft, slightly damp cloth in order to avoid scratching the glass.

Wipe the monitor housing 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

• When transporting the monitor ensure that it is not exposed to strong magnetic fields.
• Transport the monitor with care and only in its original packaging or another corresponding packaging fit to protect it against knocks and jolts.
• Above all, never drop the monitor. If the CRT is damaged, there is a risk of implosion!

X-ray radiation

This device complies with the German X-ray regulations (Röntgenverordnung - RöV). The local dosage emitted is less than 1 Sv/h (micro-Sievert per hour) at a distance of 0.1m.

Energy Star Guidelines

The Fujitsu Siemens Computers colour monitor 176V is designed to conserve electricity by dropping to less than 10 W when it goes into suspend mode and to less than 3 W when it goes into OFF mode. With this new power management the 176V qualifies for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star Computers award.

The EPA estimates that computer equipment uses 5 percent of all business electricity and it is growing rapidly. If all desktop computers and peripherals enter a low-power mode when not in use, the overall savings in electricity could amount to \$2 billion annually. These savings could also prevent the emission of 20 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - the equivalent of 5 million automobiles.

As an Energy Star Partner, Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH has determined that this product meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.

Switching the monitor on

▶ Press the ON/OFF switch (3).

The power indicator (2) lights up green when the system unit is turned on.

If your computer has a power management function (energy-saving mode), you should read the "Notes on power management" of the monitor in this chapter.

When you start your system, several mode changes will usually be carried out when various programs are called automatically (different settings for resolution and image refresh rate). Do not be confused by the unusual displays. They are not error messages.

Switching the monitor off

▶ Press the ON/OFF switch (3).

The power indicator (2) is dark.

Notes on power management

If your computer has a VESA DPMS (Video Electronics Standard Association, Display Power Management Signaling) power management function (energy-saving mode), your monitor will fully support this function. The monitor has a four-stage power management system.

Stage ON Standby mode Suspend mode OFF mode
Power indicator	glows green	flashes green	flashes green	flashes green
Function Monitor	operator operating normally	Monitor is dark	Monitor is dark	Monitor is dark
Power consumption	normal < 75 W	reduced to < 3 W	reduced to < 3 W	reduced to < 3 W

If your computer detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce the power consumption. The power indicator of the monitor flashes to indicate the status change. If there is still no input, power consumption is further reduced (OFF mode). Once an input is made at the computer the screen contents are redrawn and full power is restored.

The length of the individual stages is determined by the power management system of the computer. For detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates refer to the Operating Manual or Technical Manual of your computer.

The service life of your monitor will be extended if the OFF mode is switched to after 30 minutes at the earliest (setting in screen saver or in your computer's BIOS setup).

When the monitor is switched to OFF mode by the power management system a power consumption of up to 3 W is maintained to feed the circuit for redrawing the screen contents.

Changing the monitor settings using the OSD menu

You can use the buttons on the control panel to set the screen display via an integrated OSD menu (On-Screen-Display).

The OSD menu is available in different languages. The English menu names are used in the following description (default setting). The language can be set in the OSD menu (Language).

1 = EXIT button

3 = Plus button (contrast)

2 = Minus button (brightness)

4 = MENU button

The MENU button switches the OSD menu on.

The EXIT button deactivates the OSD menu or returns you from a submenu to its superior menu.

You use the - or + keys to mark the symbol for a function and can then make the settings for the selected function.

If the OSD menu is not displayed, you can use the - and + keys to directly call the setting windows for making brightness and contrast settings, and then use the same keys to make the actual settings.

You use the MENU key to select the functions in the OSD menu.

To make a setting, perform the following steps:

▶ Press the MENU button to activate the OSD menu.

The main menu appears on the screen with icons for the setting functions. The last icon set is marked (in this case Brightness).

▶ If necessary, use the - or + button to mark another icon, e. g. Geometry.

▶ Press the MENU button to display the appropriate submenu or options window.

Depending on what function is involved (here: Geometry), further icons are offered.

▶ If necessary, press the - or + button to mark another icon.
▶ Press the MENU button to select the highlighted icon.
▶ Use the - or + button to make the desired setting.

All modifications are automatically stored if no button is pressed for several seconds. The power indicator flashes once to indicate the storage.

You will increase the life of your screen if you adjust the contrast and brightness to medium.

	Brightness (Brightness): setting the overall brightness
	Contrast: Setting the contrast between the foreground and background

Adjusting size and position

	Horizontal picture position (H-Position): Shifting the picture to the left or to the right
	Vertical picture position (V-Position): Shifting the picture down or up
	Horizontal picture size (H-Size): Making the picture narrower or wider
	Vertical picture size (V-Size): Making the picture shorter or longer

Correcting picture distortion

Vertical pincushion distortion is when the sides of the screen display are bent inward or outward.

Vertical pincushion distortion (Pincushion): Bending the right and left side inward or outward

Setting the picture geometry

Trapezoid distortion is when the top or bottom of the screen display is too wide or too narrow. Parallelogram distortion means that the sides of the picture bend to the left or right. Tilt distortion must be set when the screen display is not axially symmetrical. Unsymmetrical pin balance is when the sides of the screen displays are bent inward or outward on one side. Vertical linearity must be set when the screen display appears distorted at the top or bottom.

	Calling the Geometry setting window
	Trapezoid distortion (Trapezoid): Making the bottom edge narrower and the top edge wider or making the top edge narrower and the bottom edge wider.
	Parallelogram distortion (Parallelogram): Reducing the angle of the left and right sides.
	Picture rotation (Rotation): Rotating the picture in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.

Setting language for the OSD menu

Setting language for the OSD menu (Language)

Setting advanced options

If the picture you see on screen has light and dark stripes or appears dull and blurred, this may be due to what is known as the moiré effect. This effect usually has physical causes, being triggered by interference between the pixels in the matrix and the video signal. The intensity of the moiré effect is dependent on the screen resolution and horizontal frequency.

Set the picture size, brightness, etc. before you switch on moiré reduction.

Only switch moiré reduction on if you can see light and dark stripes on your screen, or if the picture is dull and blurred.

In some cases, moiré reduction may cause the picture quality to deteriorate (reduced picture definition, slight flickering.)

	Calling the Advanced setting window
	Setting or disabling the vertical moiré reduction (H-Moiré)The moiré reduction intensity is set with the - and + keys (0 = disabled).
	Setting or disabling the horizontal moiré reduction (V-Moiré)The moiré reduction intensity is set with the - and + keys (0 = disabled).Setting the video signal (Video Input Level)If required, the entry level of the video signal can be changed from 0.7 V (default) to 1 V. If the monitor is operated on a PC, use the default setting.0.7V = Entry level 0.7 V (default)1.0V = Entry level 1 V
	Transparency for the OSD menu (Halftone)Off = The normal screen display is covered by the OSD menu.On = The OSD menu is transparent.
	Setting colour temperature (Color Temperature)The "warmth" of the screen colours is set using the colour temperature.The monitor has two fixed colour temperatures (K = Kelvin).9300K = colour temperature 9300 K (more blue)6500K = colour temperature 6500 K (more red)

Setting full-screen display

Full screen (Zoom):Increasing (In) or reducing (Out) the size of the screen display

Degaussing the screen

When colour shifts occur in the screen display due to the influence of magnetic fields (e.g. after transporting or turning the screen), the screen must be degaussed.

Activating the factory settings

Factory settings are available for picture position, picture size and picture geometry in the preset operating modes (see table in the chapter "Technical data".

Activating the factory settings (Recall)YES = The factory settings are activated.NO = The user-defined settings are retained.

Displaying monitor data

Display information on the current and available modes (Display Timing)The default (Factory Timing) and user modes (User Timing) are displayed with the - and + keys.

Notes on ergonomic colour adjustment

If you select colours for the display in your application programs, take note of the information below.

The primary colours blue and red on a dark background do not produce the minimum required contrast of 3:1 and are therefore not suitable for continuous text and data entry.

When using several colours for characters and background and giving the primary colours full modulation, you can obtain very suitable colour combinations (see the following table):

Background	Characters
	black white purple blue cyan green yellow red
black++	- + + + -
white++	+ - - - +
purple	+	+		-	-	-	-	-
blue-	+-		+-+-
cyan	+ - - +		--	-
green	+ - - +			-
yellow+-	++--		+
red	-	+	-	-	-	-	+

• Colour combination very suitable; light background colours are only suitable for devices which are operated with a refresh rate of at least 75 Hz.
• Colour combination not suitable because colour locations are too close together, thin characters are not identifiable or rigorous focusing is demanded of the human eye.

Error handling

Should an error occur, first check the following points. If the distortion is still not eliminated, the monitor should, if possible, be checked on another computer.

If you are unable to solve the problem, please inform our Help Desk.

The display is too small or not centred

The monitor recognises an undefined mode.

Adjust the picture size, position and edges (see "Operation of the monitor").

Colour displacements

▶ Degauss the monitor (see "Operation of the monitor").

▶ Ensure that there are no devices or objects near the monitor which generate magnetic fields (e.g. loudspeakers, plug-in power supply units).

Flickering picture

▶ Set an ergonomic refresh rate ( ≥ 75 Hz) using the computer software (see documentation for your computer or your graphics card).

▶ Ensure that the monitor is kept at a distance of at least 30 cm from other monitors of the same construction type. With different monitors, the distance must be increased, if necessary.
