Safety Precautions and Maintenance
FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE THE
FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND USING
THE MULTISYNC® E900™ 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.
• 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.
• 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 E900 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.
• 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.
• Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.
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.

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 12 inches and no further away than 28 inches
from your eyes. The optimal distance is 18 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.

Features
OptiClear® Screen Surface: Reduces reflection and glare and increases contrast
without sacrificing focus level, clarity or brightness. Along with the flat square
technology CRT, a high contrast screen with 0.28 mm trio dot pitch delivers crisp,
clean text and graphics.
Invar Shadow Mask: Holes in the thin metal sheet behind the glass of the CRT
surface correspond to each phosphor dot on the inner surface of the CRT’s
faceplate, allowing the correct electron beam (red, green, blue) to hit the correct
color phosphor for improved focus, brightness and color.
Dual Dynamic Beam Focus: Provides precise, continuous focus adjustments of the
electron beams and optimum image quality, even to the far edges of the screen.
AccuColor® Control System: Allows you to change between two color settings on
your display to match your personal preference.
OSM™ (On-Screen Manager) Controls: Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all
elements of your screen image via simple to use on-screen menus.
ErgoDesign® Features: Enhance human ergonomics to improve the working
environment, protect the health of the user and save money. Examples include
OSM controls for quick and easy image adjustments, tilt/swivel base for pre-
ferred angle of vision and compliance with MPRII guidelines for lower emissions.
Plug and Play: The Microsoft® solution with the Windows®95 operating system
facilitates setup and installation by allowing the monitor to send its capabilities
(such as screen size and resolutions supported) directly to your computer,
automatically optimizing display performance.
IPM™ (Intelligent Power Manager) System: Provides innovative power-saving
methods that allow the monitor to shift to a lower power consumption level when
on but not in use, saving two-thirds of your monitor energy costs, reducing
emissions and lowering the air conditioning costs of the workplace.
Reduced Magnetic Field™ Technology: Reduces magnetic and alternating electric
field emissions and static electricity, addressing ergonomic concerns regarding
potential risks from extended computer monitor use.
Multiple Frequency Technology: Automatically adjusts monitor to the display
card’s scanning frequency, thus displaying the resolution required.
FullScan™ Capability: Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolu-
tions, significantly expanding image size.
