In order to allow the proper operation of all safeguards incorporated in this monitor, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use, and servicing. On Safety Use only the power cord supplied with the unit. In case you use another power cord, make sure that it is certified by the applicable national standards if not being provided by the supplier. If the power cable is faulty in any way, please contact the manufacturer or the nearest authorized repair service provider for a replacement. The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket-outlet is easily accessible after installation. Operate the monitor only from a power source indicated in the specifications of this manual or listed on the monitor. If you are not sure what type of power supply you have in your home, consult with your dealer. Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous. So are frayed power cords and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service technician for replacement. Do not Open the Monitor. There are no user serviceable components inside. There are Dangerous High Voltages inside, even when the power is OFF. Contact your dealer if the monitor is not operating properly. To Avoid Personal Injury :

Do not place the monitor on a sloping shelf unless properly secured. Use only a stand recommended by the manufacturer. Do not try to roll a stand with small casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets. To Prevent Fire or Hazards:

Always turn the monitor OFF if you leave the room for more than a short period of time. Never leave the monitor ON when leaving the house. Keep children from dropping or pushing objects into the monitor's cabinet openings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages. Do not add accessories that have not been designed for this monitor. During a lightning storm or when the monitor is to be left unattended for an extended period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. Do not bring magnetic devices such as magnets or motors near the picture tube. A1 Important Precautions On Installation Do not allow anything to rest upon or roll over the power cord, and do not place the monitor where the power cord is subject to damage. Do not use this monitor near water such as near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool. Monitors are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow the release of heat generated during operation. If these openings are blocked, built-up heat can cause failures which may result in a fire hazard. Therefore, NEVER:

Block the bottom ventilation slots by placing the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, etc. Place the monitor in a built-in enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided. Cover the openings with cloth or other material. Place the monitor near or over a radiator or heat source. On Cleaning Unplug the monitor before cleaning the face of the monitor screen. Use a slightly damp (not wet) cloth. Do not use an aerosol directly on the monitor screen because overspray may cause electrical shock. On Repacking Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container in which to transport the unit. When shipping the unit to another location, repack it in its original material.

Use to adjust the purity on the screen if the color appears uneven. A11 Troubleshooting Check the following before calling for service. No image appears Is the power cord of the monitor connected?

Is the power indicator light on?

Is the power on and the power indicator green?

Is the power indicator amber?

Do you see an "OUT OF FREQUENCY" message on the screen?

Check and see if the power cord is connected properly to the power outlet. Press the Power button. Adjust the brightness and the contrast. If the monitor is in power saving mode, try moving the mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard to bring up the screen. This message appears when the signal from the PC

(video card) is out of horizontal or vertical frequency range of the monitor. See the 'Specifications' section of this manual and configure your monitor again. Do you see a "SELF DIAGNOSITICS" message on the screen?

This message appears when the signal cable between your PC and your monitor is not connected. Check the signal cable and try again. The screen is flickering. Is the vertical frequency less than 70Hz or is your monitor set to the interlaced mode?

Do you have any magnetic material such as adapter, or high-

voltage line near to your monitor?

Do you hear a "~ding"

sound while the monitor is flickering?

Set the vertical frequency to 72Hz or higher, and consult the video card user manual for instructions on converting to a non-interlaced mode.

(You can set this option under the Display icon of the Control Panel.) Remove magnetic sources, such as power adapters, speakers, or high-voltage lines, away from the monitor. Use the normal degaussing function. This function clears the screen and reduces any screen blur that may occur due to the surrounding magnetic field. The screen may flicker for about 5 seconds, accompanied by a "~ding" sound. A12 Troubleshooting The screen color is not normal. Do you see basic discoloration (16 colors)?

Is the screen color unstable or monochrome?

Do you see black dots on the screen?

Do you see a partial blurring on the screen?

'Display'

'Settings'

'Color Palette'

Set the color depth to 256 colors or higher: use 'Control Panel'

Check the connection of the signal cable. Or pull out the video card of the PC and insert it again. This is due to a small amount of foreign or abnormally florescent material that became fastened on the mask during manufacturing. It will not affect product performance. This happens due to interference from surrounding magnetic fields, as created when speakers, steel structures, or high-voltage lines are placed near the monitor. Remove any such materials from the immediate vicinity and use the DEGAUSS icon on the screen adjustment menu to fix the screen. I see an after-image on the screen. Do you see the after-image even when you turn off the monitor?

A premature aging of the monitor pixels may cause the prolonged display of a single image on the screen. Be sure to use a screen saver to maximize the service life of the monitor. I see waves on the screen. Do you see the wave directly on the screen?

This occurs in inverse proportion to the screen focus, which can be caused by a particular frequency or video card. Brighten the screen and use the 'MOIRE' icon on the screen adjustment menu to adjust the screen. Have you installed the monitor driver?

Have you installed the monitor driver?

Be sure to install the monitor driver from the monitor driver CD (or diskette) that comes with your monitor. Or, you can also download the driver from our web site:

TCO95 Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO95 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 to the further development of environmentally-adapted electronic 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 electronic equipment are concerned is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it has not been possible so far for the majority of electronic equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, 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 both the working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all types of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic- and climatic-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronic equipment in offices consumes as enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left running continuously. What does the environmenal labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO95 1 Regulatory Information cont. scheme, which provides for international environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturckyddsfreningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden), and SEMKO AB (an international certification agency). The requirements cover a wide range of issues:

environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety. The environmental demands concern, among other things, restriction on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs

(freons), and chlorinated solvents. The product must be prepared for recycling, and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan, 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, along with physical and visual ergonomics and good usability. The following is a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

TCO95 is a co-operative project between:

NUTEK SEMKO Nrings- och teknikutvecklingsverket Naturskydds freningen Environmental requirements Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cabling, casings, and housings, and are added to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame-retardant substances. These are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, and are suspected of giving rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals. Flame retardants have been found in human blood, and researchers fear that they can disturb fetus development. Bio-accumulative1 TCO95 demands require that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound chlorine or bromine. Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solder, and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses causes lead poisoning. The relevant bio-

accumulative TCO95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead, as no replacement has yet been developed. Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant bio-accumulative TCO95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm

(parts per million) of cadmium. The color-generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium. Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant bio-accumulative TCO95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm of mercury and that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronic components concerned with the display unit. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacture of expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the atmosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultra-violet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma). The relevant TCO95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture of the product or its packaging. 1 Bio-accumulative means that the substance accumulates within living organisms. Shipping Package The packaging material can be recycled, or you can save it to return the monitor to a service center for repair or disposal. CFC Compounds in Distribution Packaging Cushioning material used for shipping finished monitors are not manufactured with nor do they contain any CFC compounds. Design for Disassembly/Recycling These monitors have been designed for easy end-of-life disassembly and recycling. Fasteners are generally of the same type for efficient disassembly. Components made of different materials can be easily separated and plastics have been identified using intermational symbols to aid in recycling. Monitor Disposal WARNING If you need to dispose of a monitor, ask a qualified service representative for the proper procedure. Improper disposal could result in personal injury from implosion. 2 Regulatory Information cont. TCO99 Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO99 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 TCO99 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.

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 TCO99 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 TCO99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-

generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium. Regulatory Information cont. Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO99 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 TCO99 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 TCO99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.
