Frequently Asked Questions - CML156XW HITACHI

How to install the Hitachi CML156XW monitor?

Unpack the monitor and check the accessories: monitor, stand, power cord, manual. Place the stand on the desk, then attach the monitor by snapping it onto the stand. Connect the VGA cable to the computer and the power cord to a wall outlet. Turn on the monitor using the switch on the front bezel.

How to adjust the screen angle?

Gently tilt the screen by holding the monitor with both hands on the top corners. The tilt angle can be adjusted from -5° to +30°. Do not force beyond the limits to avoid damaging the stand.

What to do if the screen shows no image?

Check that the power indicator is lit. If off, properly connect the power cord. If the indicator is yellow (standby mode), move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard. Ensure the VGA cable is securely connected to the computer. If necessary, restart the monitor by turning it off and on again.

How to access the OSD (on-screen display) menu?

Press one of the function selection buttons on the front bezel of the monitor. The main OSD menu appears. Use the left/right buttons to navigate between options and the +/- buttons to adjust settings. To exit, select 'Save and exit'.

What adjustments are available in the OSD menu?

The OSD menu allows you to adjust: Brightness, Contrast, Horizontal/Vertical Position, Phase, Clock, Auto Adjustment, Color Temperature (9300K, 6500K or custom), Language (8 languages) and Factory Reset.

How to save energy with this monitor?

The monitor is VESA DPMS compliant. When the computer enters sleep mode, the monitor automatically switches to power-saving mode (consumption ≤ 3 W). The LED indicator turns yellow. To wake it up, move the mouse or press a key.

The image is blurry or unstable, what to do?

First use the Auto Adjustment function by holding the left button for 1 second. If that doesn't help, go to the OSD menu and manually adjust the Clock and Phase settings until the image is sharp and stable.

How to clean the LCD screen?

Turn off the monitor and unplug it. Use a soft, dry cloth (microfiber) to gently wipe the screen. Never use chemicals, alcohol or solvents. If necessary, slightly dampen the cloth with distilled water.

What does the message 'Input Signal Out of Range' mean?

It means the sync frequency sent by the computer exceeds the monitor's supported range (horizontal: 24-61 kHz, vertical: 49-75 Hz). Select a compatible resolution and refresh rate (e.g., 1024x768 at 60 Hz) in your computer's display settings.

How to dispose of the monitor in an environmentally friendly way?

This product contains mercury in the lamp. Do not dispose of it with household waste. Contact your local municipality or an authorized recycling center for disposal in compliance with local laws. In the US, call 1-800-HITACHI or visit www.lamprecycle.org.

TCO'99 STATEMENT

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.

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for an international environmental and quality 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), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB.

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

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

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.

What does the environmental labelling involve?

The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation). These 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.

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.

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* processes. Flame 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.

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. There is however one exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.

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.
