Auto Setup
Auto Setup
When you first use your monitor you must perform Auto Setup. This procedure
sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your computer without
image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto Setup, the settings are
stored and used each time you turn on the monitor.
Before carrying out this
section, it is very important
that The Setup Diskette for
Windows 95 or Windows 98
has been run.(see page6)
In order to optimise the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the
IBM Monitor Installation Diskette. Operation of this utility is dependent on the
operating system on your computer. For correct operation locate the operating
system on your computer from the table below and follow the appropriate
instructions. You may choose to run AUTO SETUP for each operating system
that you use. This means that if you sometimes use your monitor while running
any version of Windows and sometimes also use it from within DOS (not a DOS
window), you must run AUTO SETUP for both Windows and DOS. You may run
versions of AUTO SETUP in any order.
The Setup Utility included
on the setup diskette is for

Further Information
The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore,
you should refer to your computer documentation for details on how to
change display modes.
Display modes
The image size, position and shape may change when the display mode
changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using AUTO SETUP
and the monitor controls.
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker,
TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your computer
for 1024 x 768 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized
during manufacture.

Statement of Limited Warranty
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2 - Country-unique Terms. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of
Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale, from
IBM or your reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of
them. The term “Machine” does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless
IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Limited
Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your
reseller.
The IBM Warranty for Machines
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications
(“Specifications”). The warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on your sales receipt is
the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with
one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
Extent of Warranty
The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating
environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or
alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL
RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE
ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN
DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
Items Not Covered by Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as assistance via telephone with “how-to” questions and those regarding
Machine set-up and installation, will be provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or your reseller . If you do not register your Machine with IBM, you may be required to present
proof of purchase. During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, provides without charge certain
types of repair and exchange service to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you
of the available types of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its discretion, IBM or your reseller will 1) either repair or exchange
the failing Machine and 2) provide the service either at your location or a service center. IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected
engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units (called “CRUs”), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships
CRUs to you for replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to IBM within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are
responsible for downloading designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media,
and following the instructions that IBM provides.
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement
becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at
least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Many features, conversions, or
upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed
part. Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under
warranty service.
You also agree to
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you do not own; and
27
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine;
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the
transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to
IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.
Limitation of Liability
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance,
regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other
contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if recurring, 12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For
purposes of this item, the term “Machine” includes Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code.
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR
DAMAGES (OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS
OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
GOVERNING LAW
Both you and IBM consent to the application of the laws of the country in which you acquired the Machine to govern, interpret, and enforce all of your
and IBM’s rights, duties, and obligations arising from, or relating in any manner to, the subject matter of this Agreement, without regard to conflict of law
principles.

Environmental Labelling of Personal Computers
You have just purchased a TCO’95 approved and labelled product! Your
Congratulations!
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.
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method
for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The
m ain problem as far as com puters and other electronic equipm ent 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.
Why do we have
environmentally
labelled computers?
Th e re a re a ls o o th e r ch a ra cte ris tics o f a co m p u te r, s u ch a s e n e rg y
consum ption levels, that are im portant from both the working and natural
environment viewpoints. Since all types of conventional electricity generation
have a negative effect on the environm ent (acidic- and clim atic-influencing
emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronic
equipm ent in offices consum es as enorm ous am ount of energy, since it is
often routinely left running continuously.
What does the
environmenal
labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95 scheme, which provides
for international environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling
s ch e m e w a s d e ve lo p e d a s a jo in t e ffo rt b y th e TCO (Th e S w e d is h
Confederation of Professional Em ployees), Naturckyddsföreningen (The
Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), and NUTEK (The National Board for
Industrial and Technical Developm ent in Sweden), and SEMKO AB (an
international certification agency).
The requirem ents cover a wide range of issues: environm ent, ergonom ics,
usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and
electrical and fire safety.
What does the
environmenal
labelling involve?
The environmental demands concern, among other things, restriction on the
presence and use of heavy m etals, brom inated and chlorinated flam e
retardants, CFCs (freons), and chlorinated solvents. The product m ust be
p re p a re d fo r re cyclin g , a n d th e m a n u fa ctu re r is o b lig e d to h a ve a n
environm ental plan, which m ust be adhered to in each country where the
company implements its operational policy.
32
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

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.
1
Bio-accumulative TCO’95 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 TCO’95 requirement permits the inclusion of
lead, as no replacement has yet been developed.
33
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 TCO’95
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. TCO’95 requirement
states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (part oer million) of
mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical
or electronics components concerned with the display unit. Mercury is, for
the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as
there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing
this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.
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 TCO’95 requirement:
Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture of the product or
its packaging.
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
ATTENTION
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.
1 Bio-accumulative means that the substance accumulates within living organisms.

Environmental Labelling of Personal Computers
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).
35
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 Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires,
requirements
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 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. Mercury
damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. TCO’99 requirement
states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (part oer million) of
mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical
or electronics components concerned with the display unit. Mercury is, for
the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as
there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing
this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.
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.

Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO99 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. With the growing manufacture and usage of
electronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the materials and
substances used by electronic products with regards to their eventual recycling and disposal. By proper
selection of these materials and substances, the impact on the environment can be minimized. 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. Electronic
equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary consumption of large
amounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint of carbon emissions alone, it
is vital to save energy.
What does labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO99 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,
emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety. Environmental
criteria impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame
retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, and other materials.
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.
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 as well as physical and visual ergonomics.

Hinweise
Gemäß der Amtsblätter des BMPT Nm. 61Ú1991 und 6Ú1992 wird der Betreiber darauf aufmerksam
gemächt, daß die von ihm mit diesem Gerät zusammengestellte Anlage auch den technischen
Bestimmungen dieser Amtsblätter genügen muß.
Aus ergonomischen Gründen wird empfohlen, die Grundfarbe Blau nicht auf dunklem Untergrund zu
verwenden (schlechte Erkennbarkeit, Augenbelastung bei zu geringem Zeichenkontrast).
Aus ergonomischen Gründen sollten nur Darstellungen auf dunklem Hintergrund bei Vertikalfrequenzen ab 60
Hz (ohne Zeilensprung) benutzt werden.
Die Konvergenz des Bildes kann sich auf Grund des Magnetfeldes am Ort der Aufstellung aus der Korrekten
Grundeinstellung verändern. Zur Korrektur empfiehlt es sich deshalb, die Regler an der Frontseite für H STAT
und V STAT so einzustellen, daß die getrennt sichtbaren Farblinien für Rot. Grün und Blau bei z.B. der
Darstellung eines Buchstabens zur Deckung (Konvergenz) gelangen. Siehe hierzu auch die Erklärungen zu H
STAT und V STAT.
