The flat square tube design makes images easier to see. The Microprocessor-based On-Screen Display (OSD) controls let you adjust a variety of image controls, automatically storing different user modes. The OSD controls also includes seven factory preset modes. 1 Safety precautions I Read all instructions before using the monitor, and save them for later use. I Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product. I To avoid electrical shock, never open the monitor case. I Never use the monitor if the power cable has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. I The openings in the monitor cabinet are for ventilation. Do not block or cover these openings. Do not insert anything into these openings. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to leave space for ventilation. I Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water. Turning on a monitor that has been exposed to moisture will cause damage. If the monitor gets wet, unplug it, and contact technical support. I This monitor is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug as a safety feature. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician to install the appropriate outlet. Do not try to remove any of the prongs. I If any problems occur, unplug the monitor and contact technical support. 2 Using Your EV Series Monitor Installing the monitor Installing the monitor consists of two procedures: attaching the base and connecting the monitor cables. If you are setting up your system for the first time, refer to the setup poster for more information about connecting additional peripherals. To attach the base:

1 Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor facing you. 2 Hold the base so that the narrow end is pointed toward the back of the monitor. 3 Align the four hooks on the bottom of the base with the corresponding slots on the bottom of the monitor. 4 Slide the base toward the front of the monitor so that all hooks are securely in place. A retaining latch built into the base clicks into place when the base is correctly attached. 5 Carefully set the monitor upright and place the monitor on a sturdy, level surface. Installing the monitor 3 To connect the power and video cables:

1 Position the monitor and the computer so that you can easily get at the back panel of each. Make sure all power cables can reach a properly grounded electrical outlet. 2 Connect one end of the video cable that came with the monitor to the matching video connector on the back of the monitor. The connector attaches only one way. If you cannot attach the cable easily, match the D shape of the connectors by turning the connector upside down and trying again. A A AC power connector B Video connector 3 Connect the other end of the video cable to the matching blue video connector on the back of your computer. 4 Tighten the screws on the video cable connectors to keep them from coming loose. Tightening the screws also prevents radio and TV interference. 5 Connect the power cord that came with the monitor to the AC power connector at the back of the monitor. To maintain FCC standards, only use the cord that came with the monitor. 6 Plug the other end of the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet. 4 Using Your EV Series Monitor Removing the base To remove the base:

This monitor complies with the EPA's International ENERGY STAR Program, which is a program designed to have manufacturers of computer equipment build circuitry into their products to reduce energy consumption during time of non-use. Energy declaration When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, this monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption during periods of non-use. When the computer goes into the energy saving mode (Standby), the monitor goes into a suspended operating state and the power LED light changes from a green color to an amber color. After an extended period in the suspended mode, the monitor will then enter the Off mode (different from total shut down). In the Off mode the Power LED will still show amber. By following these conventions the power can be reduced to the following levels:

VESA state LED indicator Power consumption On Standby Off Green Amber Amber Less than 10 W Less than 5 W To wake the monitor when it is in Standby or Off mode, move your mouse or press any keyboard key. You can change the period of time after which the monitor enters these low power states by accessing the power management options in the Control Panel. 10 Using Your EV Series Monitor Maintenance To keep your monitor in optimal working order:

Troubleshooting 15 ECO document Important This section covers both TCO95 and TCO99 approvals. See the certification label affixed to the back of your monitor to determine what TCO approval applies to your monitor. Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO95/TCO'99 approved and labeled 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 labeled computers?

In many countries, environmental labeling 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. 16 Using Your EV Series Monitor What does labeling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO95/TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling 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. Labeled 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. Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

TCO Development SE-114 94 Stockholm, Sweden Fax: +46 8 782 92 07 E-mail (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO95/TCO'99 approved and labeled products may also be obtained via the Internet, using the address:

www.tco-info.com 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 TCO95/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. ECO document 17 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 TCO95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of Cadmium. 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 TCO95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of Mercury. 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 labeled unit. CFCs (freons) The relevant TCO95/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 TCO95/TCO99 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. 18 Using Your EV Series Monitor Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information 2 Important safety information Your Gateway system is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information technology equipment.
