Safety information

Caution! Pay attention to operational safety.

  • The device is not intended to be used by individuals with restricted physical, sensory or intellectual abilities (including children), or a lack of experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by an individual responsible for their safety or have received instructions about how the device is to be used from such a person. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
  • Keep the packaging materials, such as plastic film, away from children. The danger of suffocation could arise in the case of misuse.
  • Never open the casing of the TFT monitor (electric shock, short circuit and the danger of fire)!
  • Do not introduce any objects into the inside of the TFT monitor through the slots and openings (electric shock, short circuit and the danger of fire)!
  • The slits and opening of the TFT monitor serve ventilation. Do not cover these openings (overheating, danger of fire).
  • Do not exert any pressure on the display unit. There will be the danger of the monitor breaking.
  • Attention! There will be the danger of injury if the display unit has been broken. Pack up the broken parts with protective gloves and send them to your service centre for specialist recycling. Then wash your hands with soap, because it cannot be excluded that chemicals can escape.
  • Do not touch the display unit with your fingers or with sharp objects, in order to avoid damage.

Contact Customer Service if:

  • The mains cable has been contaminated or damaged
    • Liquid has penetrated the monitor
  • The TFT monitor is not functioning correctly
  • The TFT monitor has been dropped or the casing is damaged

Caution! Pay attention to the set-up location!

  • New devices can emit a typical, unavoidable but completely harmless smell, which reduces increasingly in the course of time, in the initial hours of operation. We recommend that you ventilate the room regularly, in order to counter the formation of the smell. We have taken care that the applicable limits are clearly fallen below during the development of this product.
  • Keep your TFT monitor and all the connected devices away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct solar radiation. Failure to comply with this information can lead to faults or damage to the TFT monitor.
  • Do not operate your device in the open air, because external influences, such as rain, snow, etc. could damage the device.
  • Do not subject the device to drops of water or spray and do not put any containers filled with liquid (vases or similar) on the device. Liquids penetrating can impair the electrical safety of the device.
  • Do not put any open sources of fire (candles or similar) on the device.
  • Pay attention to sufficiently large clearances in the wall unit. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm around the device for sufficient ventilation.
  • Place and operate all components on a stable, level and vibration-free base, in order to avoid the TFT monitor falling.
  • Avoid fading effects, mirror effects and too strong contrasts between light and dark, to save your eyes and to guarantee comfortable workstation ergonomics.
    • Take regular breaks when working at your TFT monitor, to prevent tension and tiredness.

Repair

  • Leave the repair of your TFT monitor exclusively to qualified specialist personnel.
  • Please contact our authorised Service Partners exclusively in the case of a necessary repair.

  • The TFT monitor can be operated at a surrounding temperature from 0^ C to +35^ C and at a relative ambient moisture level of <80% (non-condensing).
  • The TFT monitor can be stored at -20^ C to +60^ C when it has been turned off.

MEDION Akoya P54160 (MD 20360) - Caution! Pay attention to the surrounding temperature! - 1

Danger! Pay attention to the following:

Wait to bring the device into operation until it has reached the surrounding temperature, after the TFT monitor has been transported.

Moisture, which can cause an electrical short-circuit, can form within the TFT monitor in the case of wide variations in temperature or moisture.

⚠ Warning! Pay attention to safety during the connection!

Power supply

MEDION Akoya P54160 (MD 20360) - Power supply - 1

Please pay attention: Parts of the device will be subject to voltage, even if the mains switch has been switched off. Pull the mains plug from the socket, to interrupt the power supply to your TFT monitor or to release the device from voltage completely.

  • Only operate the TFT monitor at an earthed socket with 100-240V\~, 50/60 Hz. Ask your energy supplier if you are not sure about the power supply at the set-up location.
  • We recommend the use of protection against excess voltage for additional safety, in order to protect your TFT monitor against damage because of voltage peaks or electrical flashes on the mains network.
  • Pull the mains plug from the socket, in order to interrupt the power supply to your monitor.
  • The socket must be located close to the TFT monitor and be easily accessible.
  • Lay the cable so that no-one can tread on it or trip over it.
  • Do not place any objects on the cable, because it could be damaged otherwise.
  • Your device has an On/Off switch. The TFT monitor can be switched on and off by means of it. No power will be consumed if the switch is standing at OFF (0). Put the On/Off switch to OFF or use a master/slave power strip, in order to avoid power consumption when the device is switched off.
  • Maintain at least one metre clearance from high frequency and magnetic sources of interference (television device, loudspeakers, mobile phone, cell phone, etc.), in order to avoid disruptions to function and data loss.
  • The failure of individual or several scanning spots can arise in rare cases, in spite of the most modern manufacture, because of the highly complex technology.

Preparation of your PC

You may have to make some preparations if you have been operating a tubed monitor on your computer up to now. This will be necessary if your current monitor has been operated with settings that are not supported by your new TFT screen.

The screen will represent up to 1920 x 1080 scanning elements. This resolution corresponds to the physical resolution. TFT screens achieve complete image quality with the physical resolution. The display will not appear on the whole area of the screen, under certain circumstances, if you change to a representation with deviating settings.

Distortions can also appear in the representation, particularly in the case of lettering.

Set a resolution and image frequency on the PC supported by both monitors, using the old monitor, before you connect the new monitor.

Shut down the PC and connect the new monitor.

You will be able to adjust the screen settings on the P54160 (MD 20360) as described after restarting.

The image slips or is erratic:

Check:

• Signal plugs: Please contact your respective customer service if pins are bent.
- Signal plugs: The plugs of the signal cable must be sitting firmly in the sockets.
- Graphics card: Check whether the settings are correct (see Page 7).
- Image refresh frequencies: Select the permissible values in your graphics settings.
- Monitor output signal. The monitor output signal of the computer must agree with the technical data of the monitor.
- Remove disruptive devices (mobile telephones, cell phones, loudspeakers, etc.) from the vicinity of your TFT monitor.
- Avoid the use of monitor extension cables.

Symbols are displayed darkly, the image is too small or not centred, etc.:

- Readjust the respective settings (Setting the TFT monitor, Page 13)

Colours are not displayed cleanly:

  • Check the signal cable pins. Contact your respective customer service if pins are bent.
  • Readjust the colour settings in the OSD menu.
  • Avoid the use of monitor extension cables.

The display is too light or too dark:

  • Check whether the video output level of the computer agrees with the technical data of the monitor.
  • Select Automatique adjustment, to optimise the settings for brightness and contrast. The display unit should show a text page (e.g. Explorer, Word, etc.) for its optimisation.

The image flutters:

  • Check whether the operational voltage agrees with the technical data of the monitor.
  • Select Automatique adjustment, to optimise the settings for the synchronisation of pixels and phases. The display unit should show a text page (e.g. Explorer, Word, etc.) for its optimisation.

Pixel defects on screens

For active matrix TFTs with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which are each made up of three sub-pixels (red, green, blue), there are a total of approx. 6.2 million control transistors in use. Occasionally one or more pixels can fail or become incorrectly controlled because of this very high number of transistors and the associated extremely complex manufacturing processes used.

In the past, there were consistently a wide variety of approaches available for defining the permitted number of pixel defects. However, these approaches were mostly very complicated and completely different from one manufacturer to the next. In the handling of warranty issues for all of its display products, MEDION adheres therefore to the strict and transparent requirements of the standard ISO 9241-307, class II, which has been briefly summarised below.

The ISO standard ISO 9241-307 defines, amongst other things, generally valid guidelines in relation to pixel defects. Pixel defects are categorised into four classes of defect and three types of defect. Every individual pixel consists of three sub-pixels, each of which is assigned a basic colour (red, green, blue).

The permitted number of defects for every type named above in each class of pixel defect refers to one million pixels and must be converted accordingly to match the physical resolution of the display.
