Preset and user modes

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 (see "Preset mode timing table" on page i). If the input signals do not match one of the factory preset modes, the monitor automatically provides the most appropriate picture for the input signal that is within the range of the vertical or horizontal frequencies (page 7) corresponding to the Generalized Timing Formula. When the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal is received.

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA, TCO'99, and ENERGY STAR. If no signal is input to the monitor from your computer, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption as shown below.

Power mode Power consumption*		1	① (power) indicator

1 Figures reflect power consumption when no USB compatible peripherals are connected to the monitor. 2 When your computer enters power saving mode, NO SIGNAL appears on the screen. After a few seconds, the monitor enters power saving mode. *3 "Deep sleep" is power saving mode defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

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 UK

If you use the monitor in the UK, be sure to use the supplied UK power cable.

Example of plug types

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

• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the screen's surface to discharge. After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized (degaussed) for about a few seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away from the monitor.

The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.

Installation

Do not install the monitor in the following places:

• on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes
• near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight
• in a place subject to severe temperature changes
• in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock on an unstable surface
• near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power lines
• near or on an electrically charged metal surface
• inside an enclosed rack

Maintenance

• Clean the 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 screen's coating.
• 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.
• 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.

Wavy, wavy, or wavy interference in the image

• Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields, such as other monitors, laser printers, electric fans, fluorescent lamps, or televisions.
• Move the monitor away from other electrical appliances and place it near a magnetic field. - Try connecting the monitor to a different wall outlet, preferably from a different circuit.
• Try turning the monitor 90 degrees to the left or right.
• Refer to the graphics adapter manual to check if the correct parameters are set for the monitor. Verify that the graphics mode and input signal frequency match the monitor's specifications (see the "Preset mode timing table" on page i). Even at a suitable frequency range, some graphics adapters output a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to synchronize correctly. Adjust the computer's refresh rate (vertical scan frequency) to obtain the optimal image.

Unclear image

• Adjust the contrast, brightness, and PICTURE EFFECT function.
• Perform monitor degaussing.*
• Adjust the sharpness setting until the image is clear enough, then set the sharpness parameters to the desired value.

"Tint" image

Do not use extension cables for the video cable and the video switch. Check that all connectors are securely seated in their sockets.

Incorrect centering or image size

Perform the auto-size-center function. Set the size and center the image. Keep in mind that the combination of input signals with certain graphic cards may not use the full screen. Immediately after pressing the MENU button, the image will adjust in size and center on the screen for a while.

TCO'99 Eco-document

■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 chlorine, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chlorine and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to 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.

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.
