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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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).  
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.  
Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues:  
environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric  
and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical  
and fire safety.  
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.  
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.  
Lead* *  
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.  
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.

1.3  
IPM(Intelligent Power Manager) System  
1.6  
Auto Adjustment Function ("AUTO ADJUST"  
P1-10)  
The monitor has a IPM(Intelligent Power Manager) Sys-  
tem which reduces the power consumption of the monitor  
when not in use.  
This function is to adjust "CLOCK PHASE" automatically  
and periodically (once per 30 min.) against changes of the  
signal condition or ambient temperature and to adjust  
"CLOCK PHASE", "HORIZONTAL POSITION" and "VER-  
TICAL POSITION" automatically when changing the sig-  
nal timing.  
When the horizontal sync signal and/or vertical sync signal  
is off, after about 10 seconds the monitor is switched to a  
power saving mode which reduces the monitor power  
consumption to less than 3W. When the monitor is in  
power saving mode, the screen is off and the power  
indicator will illuminate at amber.  
After the signals are restored, picture will be displayed  
within about 3 seconds.  
Check your computer's manual for setting this function.  
When you receive the monitor, "AUTO ADJUST" is set  
to "OFF".  
When using the monitor with some computers, "AUTO  
ADJUST" may function negatively. In that case, set  
"AUTO ADJUST" to "OFF".  
When "AUTO ADJUST" is set to "ON", you may feel  
the screen stopping when using mouse or displaying  
an animation. However, it is not a fault condition and  
it is caused by the "AUTO ADJUST" working.  
1.4  
DDC  
The monitor includes the DDCTM2B feature, more com-  
monly known as "Plug & Play". DDC(Display Data Chan-  
nel) is a communication channel over which the monitor  
automatically informs the computer about its capabililties  
(e.g. each supported resolution with its corresponding  
timing).  
1.7  
Screen Auto Expand Function ("EXPAND"  
P1-10)  
DDC is routed through previously unused pins of the 15-  
pin VGA connector.  
This function is to expand the screen automatically. By a  
smoothing function, you can get a clear screen when the  
screen is expanded by this function. This function is  
available in case that a signal of 1024 dots by 768 lines or  
lower is inputted to the monitor.  
The system will perform "Plug and Play" feature if both,  
monitor and computer, implement the DDC protocol.  
When a Plug and Play computer starts, it identifies the  
monitor and loads the appropriate driver automatically. If  
the computer does not have the driver installed, a dialog  
box will appear asking where the information can be  
found. The latest drivers may be downloaded from the  
"Support" section of the NEC-MITSUBISHI Website lo-  
cated at:  
With some resolution, even if it meets the condition  
above, the screen is not expanded fully to the screen  
area.  
With some signal type inputted, the screen is not  
expanded vertically or horizontally.  
With some resolution, the image may be slightly  
blurred.  
1.5  
Display Mode Selection ("DISPLAY MODE"  
P1-10)  
1.8  
Signal Input Connector Auto Selection Func-  
The following two display modes are available. You can  
select either mode suitable to your work, on the OSM™  
tion ("AUTO SELECT"  
P1-11)  
(
P1-10).  
This function is to select the signal input connector which  
is in the active condition automatically. In case that two  
computers are connected with the monitor, another com-  
puter will be selected automatically when the first selected  
computer went into a power saving mode.  
Text Mode  
The contrast is emphasized more than the accuracy of the  
color appearance in this mode. This mode is suitable for  
such works that the accuracy of the displayed colors is not  
so important, e.g. document making, calculation, data-  
base making, etc.  
When you receive the monitor, "AUTO SELECT" is set  
to "ON".  
Graphic Mode  
The accuracy of the color tone is emphasized in this mode.  
This mode is suitable for such works where the accuracy  
of the displayed colors is important, e.g. photograph  
processing, making of illustration, etc.  
1.9  
Auto Brightness Function ("AUTO BRIGHTNESS"  
P1-10)  
This function is to adjust the brightness automatically to  
the extent of white display area, against dazzle.  
When you receive the monitor, "DISPLAY MODE" is  
set to "GRAPHIC" mode.  
Before selecting "Graphic Mode", perform "AUTO  
SETUP". If not, the displayed screen may become too  
bright.  
Before using "Color Matching", set the "COLOR" to  
"NATIVE", "DISPLAY MODE" to "GRAPHIC".
