Technical Features

Power saving function (user sensor/power saving mode)

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 enter the power saving mode. It automatically enters the low power consumption mode when the user sensor detects the absence of a user.

Power consumption state	Power consumption	AC power indicator	( power) indicator
normal operation	≤ 67 W	green	green
1 low power consumption mode	≤ 8.5 W*	green	green and orange alternate
2 power saving mode	≤ 1.3 W*	orange	orange
( power): off	≤ 1 W	red	off
AC power: off	0 W	off	off

• Figures reflect power consumption when the computer connected to the USB upstream connector on the monitor is turned off.

1 Low power consumption mode (user sensor)

When the user sensor in the monitor detects the absence of a user, the monitor enters low power consumption mode after about 20 seconds. The icon of user sensor appears and flashes on the screen before the monitor enters this mode. In low power consumption mode, the monitor is in a power saving state and shuts off power to all circuitry (except for that of the sensors) regardless of the setting of the computer.

The monitor returns to normal operation mode when the presence of a user is detected by the user sensor.

When the monitor enters the power saving mode (as set according to the computer's settings), the power saving mode takes precedence over the low power consumption mode. In this case, the monitor stays in the power saving mode regardless of the presence or absence of a user.

To return the monitor to normal operation mode, reset the computer's power saving mode.

If the user sensor does not seem to function properly, refer to the instructions on the next page.

2 Power saving mode

DPMS defines the active off state according to the state of the sync signals supplied from the computer. This monitor's power consumption is input at approximately 1.3W or less in this state if the power saving function is set to ON.

When your computer enters the power saving mode, the input signal is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After a few seconds, the monitor enters power saving mode.

Power saving state	Sync signal state
active off (deep sleep)*	horizontal: off / vertical: off

• "Deep sleep" is a power saving mode defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Notes

• The power saving function may not work normally depending on the pattern of supplied sync signals. In such a case, set the power saving function to OFF.
• When you connect a computer whose power is connected to the USB upstream connector on the monitor, the monitor will not enter the power saving mode.

If the user sensor does not seem to function properly

Are you within the user detection area?

The user sensor, as shown below, detects the presence/absence of a user—the center of the body—up to a distance of approximately 70cm and at an angle of 30 degrees horizontal/vertical from the sensor phototransmitter.

As seen from above

As seen from the side

If the user is seated to the right of the center of the display, or if the display is tilted too far upwards, the user may be out of range of the user sensor. If so, readjust the placement and angle of the display, or the user's seat position.

Also, the sensitivity of the user sensor is adjustable. For details on the user sensor adjustment, see "Using the user sensor" on page 18.

There is a choice of three levels of sensitivity: 1, 2, and 3. To make the sensitivity high, select the larger number. Keep in mind, the settings are intended to optimize the sensitivity according to the angle of the display.

Refer to the table below and adjust the angle of the display or sensitivity of the sensor.

Choice Display angle
3	15° - 20°
2	1
1	0

Are there any photoreflective objects, such as a wall or a chair, close to the sensor phototransmitter?

Leave a space of more than 10cm at the right and left side of the display and of more than 60~cm at the top.

The sensor's infrared rays reflected from the wall may be misunderstood as the presence of a user and the low power consumption mode may not function.

Similarly, a chair that has a tall back - approximately 80~cm or over - may cause a misreading and the low power consumption mode may not function.

Is there any interference from the room illumination?

Adjust the placement - distance from the illumination - and anglofothedisplaysothatthe lightfromthe illuminationdoes not shine directly onto the sensor.

The low power consumption mode may not function properly or the user sensor may not work properly if the light from the room illumination or a desktop lamp shines directly onto the sensor's phototransmitter.

Is the sensor attracted by direct sunlight?

To keep direct sunlight away from the sensor, adjust the lighting condition of the room using a curtain or a blind, or place the face of the display away from the window.

If the room is too bright in broad daylight or the display is facing the window, the strong infrared rays of the sunlight may cause a malfunction of the user sensor.

In addition, the user detection distance and angle may vary depending on the brightness of the surrounding area or the fabric of the user's clothes - particularly with black or dark colors.

If these instructions do not resolve user detection problems, set the user sensor to OFF.

Automatic brightness adjustment function (light sensor)

This monitor is provided with a feature to automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the brightness of the surroundings. The brightness of the backlight is set to the most appropriate level by setting the light sensor to ON. The default setting of the brightness of the backlight is set to its maximum. When the light

sensor setting is set to ON, the monitor adjusts the brightness of the backlight linearly from its lower- to upper-limit values. When the user adjusts the backlight, the backlight brightness is automatically adjusted between the user adjustment value and the upper- and lower-limit values.

GB

Automatic picture quality adjustment function (Analog RGB signals only)

When the monitor receives an input signal, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor adjusts the picture position, phase, and pitch to provide a high quality picture at the center of the screen.

Additionally, several factory preset modes are stored in the monitor's memory as recommended adjustment data. (See the Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.)

Even when a signal that matches one of the factory preset modes is input, if it is input for the first time, the automatic picture quality adjustment function works to optimize the picture quality according to the type of devices connected.

Also, when a signal that does not match any of the preset modes is input for the first time, the function works and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for any timing within the monitor's frequency range (horizontal: 28 - 92kHz , vertical: 48 - 85Hz ).

Notes

• The automatic picture quality adjustment function may not work properly depending on the type of signal input.
• For any signal input for the first time, the automatic picture quality adjustment function works and the monitor will take a longer time than normal for displaying the picture.
• While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only the (power) switch will operate.
• While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, AUTO ADJUSTING appears on the screen.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 organicallyboundbromineorchlorine. 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.

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 Bioaccumulative.
