• 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 color 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 120 V and 200 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. Unauthorized 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.

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	green yellow yellow amber
Function Monitor	Monitor operating normally	Monitor is dark	Monitor is dark
Power consumption	normal < 85 W (typical)	reduced to < 10 W	reduced to < 10 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 changes color 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.

To cut off power consumption totally, press the ON/OFF switch on the front of the monitor.

Setting additional functions

	Calling the EXTRA CONTROLS setting window
	Degaussing the monitor (DEGAUSS)The monitor is degaussed every time you switch it on. When color shifts occur in the screen display due to the influence of magnetic fields, the screen must be degaussed manually.During degaussing a muffled noise is produced, the colors may change and the picture may wobble. These effects are normal. There is no malfunction.Do not use the function more often than once every half hour, as otherwise the full effect is not ensured.
	Setting moiré reduction (ADJUST MOIRE)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.In some cases, moiré reduction may cause the picture quality to deteriorate (reduced picture definition, slight flickering.)
		Correcting the horizontal moiré effect (HORIZONTAL)
		Correcting the vertical moiré effect (VERTICAL)

Notes on ergonomic color adjustment

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

The primary colors 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 colors for characters and background and giving the primary colors full modulation, you can obtain very suitable color combinations (see the following table):

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

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