Safety Precautions and Maintenance

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE THE

FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND USING

THE MULTISYNC^®FE COLOR MONITOR:

DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no user serviceable parts inside and opening or

removing covers may expose you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to

qualified service personnel.

•

Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.

Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage

points, which can be harmful or fatal or may cause electric shock, fire or equipment failure.

Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or fire.

Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the monitor may fall,

causing serious damage to the monitor.

•

Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric motors and other devices such as

external speakers or fans, which may create strong magnetic fields.

If possible, position the monitor so that it is facing the east to minimize the effects of the earth’s

magnetic field.

Changing the direction of the monitor while it is powered on may cause image discoloration. To

correct this, turn the monitor off for 20 minutes before powering it back on.

When operating the MultiSync FE with its AC 220-240V worldwide power supply, use a power

supply cord that matches the power supply voltage of the AC power outlet being used. The power

supply cord you use must have been approved by and comply with the safety standards of your

country. (Type H05VV-F should be used except in UK)

•

In UK, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a black (5A) fuse installed for use with

this monitor. If a power cord is not supplied with this monitor, please contact your supplier.

Cleaning Your Monitor

A special coating is provided on the glass (CRT) surface of this monitor to reduce a reflection and

static electricity on the glass surface. Due to the delicate coating on the glass surface, use a lint-free,

non-abrasive cloth (cotton or equivalent) and a non-alcohol, neutral, non-abrasive cleaning solution

to minimize dust. If the screen requires more than a light cleaning, apply a soft neutral detergent and

water directly to a soft cloth and use it upon wringing water, to clean the glass surface. Clean your

monitor regularly.

CAUTION: The following agents will cause damage to the CRT when cleaning the glass surface:

Benzene, thinner, acid/alkaline detergent, alcohol detergent, detergent with abrasive powder,

detergent with anti-static agent, detergent for cleaning.

Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel

under the following conditions:

•

When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the monitor.

If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.

If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.

•

Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can properly

dissipate. Do not block ventilated openings or place the monitor near a

radiator or other heat sources. Do not put anything on top of monitor.

The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system

from the power supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power

outlet which is easily accessible.

CAUTION

Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR

CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE

FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

• Adjust the monitor height so that the top of

the screen is at or slightly below eye level.

Your eyes should look slightly downward

when viewing the middle of the screen.

• Position your monitor no closer than 16 inches

and no further away than 24 inches from your

eyes. The optimal distance is 20 inches.

• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on

an object at least 20 feet away. Blink often.

• Position the monitor at a 90° angle to

windows and other light sources to minimize

glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect

on your screen.

• If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.

• Clean your monitor regularly. Use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and a

non-alcohol, neutral, non-abrasive cleaning solution or glass cleaner to

minimize dust.

• Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.

• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

• Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or

reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head

while you are typing.

• Get regular eye checkups.

Ergonomics

To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:

• Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears

• Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting

• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals

• Use the preset Color Setting and Sides Left/Right controls

• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 75-120Hz

• Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see

and may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient contrast

Troubleshooting

No picture

• Display card should be completely seated in its slot.

• Power Button and computer power switch should be in the ON position.

• Signal cable should be completely connected to display card/computer.

• Check connector for bent or pushed-in pins.

Image is scrolling or unstable

• Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.

• Check pin assignments and signal timings of the monitor and your display card with

respect to recommended timings and pin assignments.

•

If the Macintosh cable adapter is used, check for proper connection or make sure the

display card is Macintosh compatible and that the card is properly seated in the computer

LED on monitor is not lit (no green, orange color can be seen)

• Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.

LED on monitor is flashing and/or dissapears

• Contact Customer Service at (800) 462-4662.

Picture is fuzzy or color looks blotchy

• Adjust Brightness and Contrast Controls or adjust the Moiré Canceler control.

• Access the Degauss Control through OSM™ controls. Activate the Degauss Control.

CAUTION: A minimum interval of 20 minutes should elapse before the Deguass

Control is used a second time when not switching between modes.

Picture bounces or a wavy pattern is present in the picture

•

Move electrical devices that may be causing electrical interference away from the monitor.

• See inside cover of User’s Manual for FCC information.

Edges of the display image are not square

• Use the OSM Geometry Controls to straighten the edges.

• If possible, position the front of the monitor facing east.

Display image is not centered, too small, or too large

• Use the OSM Size and Position Controls to adjust the image.

Thin lines appear on your screen

• Thin lines are normal for an aperture grille CRT and are not a malfunction.

These are shadows from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille and

are most noticeable when the screen’s background is light (usually white).

Black vertical lines are visible on the screen

• Thin vertical black lines on one or both sides of the screen. This minor condition is

caused by grille element overlap which can occur during shipping.

• Position an open white window over the affected area of the screen and maximize

the brightness and contrast controls. This will cause localized heating of the overlap

which will clear in a few minutes. Be sure to readjust the brightness and contrast

controls back to the normal viewing level after this procedure.

TCO’95

MultiSync^®FE Black Model

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’95 approved and

labeled product! Your choice has provided you with a product devel-

oped 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 encourag-

ing 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 the manufacturing. Since it has not been

possible for the majority of electronics 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 the viewpoints of both the work (Internal) and natural (external) environments.

Since all methods of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the

environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to

conserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of energy

since they are often left running continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95 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), Naturskyddsforeningen

(The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and

Technical Development in Sweden).

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 restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals,

brominatedandchlorinatedflameretardants, CFCs(freons)andchlorinatedsolvents, amongother

things. 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, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

TCO’95 is a co-operative project between TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional

Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK

(The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).

Environmental Requirements

Brominated flame retardants

Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and

housings.Inturn,theydelaythespreadoffire.Uptothirtypercentoftheplasticinacomputercasing

can consist of flame retardant substances. These are related to another group of environmental

toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in

fisheating 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.

TCO’95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain

organically bound chlorine and bromine.

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.

TCO’95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colourgenerating layers of certain

computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

TCO’95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of

cadmium. The colourgenerating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

and is toxic in high doses.

TCO’95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per 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

lightsystemofflatpanelmonitorsastheretodayisnocommerciallyavailablealternative.TCOaims

on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing of

expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in

thestratosphere,causingincreasedreceptiononEarthofultravioletlightwithconsequentincreased

risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).
