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.

How to Adjust the Screen
Two methods, "AUTO SETUP" and "OSM™ Adjustment"
are available for adjusting the screen. (For the "OSM
Adjustment", see 5. OSM (On Screen Manager) FUNC-
TIONS.) Conduct the "AUTO SETUP" first. And then, do
the "OSM Adjustment" if necessary.
The monitor has an OSM (On Screen Manager) function.
The following procedure shows how to adjust the screen
with using the OSM function.
The “AUTO SETUP” is to adjust "CONTRAST", "HORI-
ZONTAL POSITION", "VERTICAL POSITION", "CLOCK",
"CLOCK-PHASE" and "BLACK LEVEL" automatically.
