TCO’99 l English TCO'99 document.MultiSync ModelCongratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labeledproduct! Your choice has provided you with a product developed forprofessional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burdenon the environment and also to the further development of environmentallyadapted electronics products.Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouragingthe adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far ascomputers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmfulsubstances are used both in the products and during the manufacturing. Since it has not beenpossible for the majority of electronics equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most ofthese potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter Nature.There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that areimportant from the viewpoints of both the work (Internal) and natural (external) environments.Since all methods of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on theenvironment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital toconserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of energysince they are often left running continuously.What does labelling involve?This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for internationaland environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as ajoint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), SvenskaNaturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and StatensEnergimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission ofelectrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.The environmental demands concern restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals,brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, amongother things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged tohave an environmental plan which must be adhered to in each country where the companyimplements its operational policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the computerand/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lowerlevel in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonablefor the user.Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of thereduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.01b_English 2/26/02, 10:06 AM2
Environmental RequirementsFlame retardantsFlame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Inturn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing canconsist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride andthese are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to giverise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fisheating birds and mammals,due to the bioaccumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood andresearchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must notcontain flame retardants with organically bound chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants areallowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.Lead**Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages thenervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.TCO’99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet beendeveloped.Cadmium**Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colourgenerating layers of certaincomputer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colourgenerating layers of display screens and theelectrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.Mercury**Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches, Mercury damages the nervoussystem and is toxic in high doses.TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any Mercury. It also demands that nomercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the displayunit.CFCs (freons)CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozoneand thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earthof ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).The relevant TCO’99 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during themanufacturing and assembly of the product or its packaging.*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bioaccumulative.To obtain complete information on the environmental criteria document, order from:TCO Development UnitSE-114 94 StockholmSWEDENFAX Number: +46 8 782 92 07E-mail (Internet): development@tco.seYou may also obtain current information on TCO’99 approved and labelled products by visitingtheir website at:http://www.tco-info.com/01b_English 2/26/02, 10:06 AM3

EnglishFeaturessRGB Colour Control: A new optimized colour management standard which allows for colourmatching on computer displays and other peripherals. The sRGB, which is based on thecalibrated colour space, allows for optimal colour representation and backward compatibility withother common colour standards.Reduced Footprint: Provides the ideal solution for environments requiring superior imagequality but with size and weight limitations. The monitor’s small footprint and low weight allowit to be moved or transported easily from one location to another.Colour Control System: Allows you to adjust the colours on your screen and customize thecolour accuracy of your monitor to a variety of standards.OSM (On-Screen Manager) Controls: Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements ofyour 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 andeasy image adjustments, tilt base for preferred angle of vision, small footprint and compliancewith MPRII and TCO guidelines for lower emissions.Plug and Play: The Microsoft solution with the Windows 95/98/2000 operating system facilitatessetup and installation by allowing the monitor to send its capabilities (such as screen size andresolutions supported) directly to your computer, automatically optimizing display performance.IPM (Intelligent Power Manager) System: Provides innovative power-saving methods thatallow 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 costsof the workplace.Multiple Frequency Technology: Automatically adjusts monitor to the display card’s scanningfrequency, thus displaying the resolution required.FullScan Capability: Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantlyexpanding image size.Wide Viewing Angle Technology: Allows the user to be able to see the monitor from any angle(±75° degrees) from any orientation – Portrait or Landscape. Provides full ±75° viewing angleseither up, down, left or right.VESA Standard Mounting Interface: Allows users to connect their MultiSync monitor to anyVESA standard (75 mm pitch) third party mounting arm or bracket. Allows for the monitor to bemounted on a wall or an arm using any third party compliant device.DVI-I: The intergrated interface ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) thatallows both digital and analog connectors through one port. The “I” stands for intergration forboth digital and analog. The digital portion is TMDS based.DVI-D: The digital only subset of DVI ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) fordigital connections between computers and displays. As a digital only connector, analog supportis not provided for through a DVI-D connector. As a TMDS based digital only connection, only asimple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DVI-D and other TMDS based digitalconnectors such as DFP and P&D.DVI-A: The analog only subset of DVI ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) foranalog connections between computers and displays. As an analog only connector, digitalsupport is not provided for through a DVI-A and/or a D-Sub 15pin connector.P&D: Plug and Display - The VESA standard for digital flat panel monitor interfaces. It is morerobust than DFP since it allows for other options through a single connector (options like USB,analog video and IEEE-1394-995). The VESA committee has recognized that DFP is a subsetof P&D. As a TMDS based connector (for the digital input pins), only a simple adapter isnecessary for compatibility between P&D and other TMDS based digital connectors such as DVIand DFP.English-1401b_English 2/26/02, 10:06 AM21
TroubleshootingNo picture•The signal cable should be completely connected to the display card/computer.•The display card should be completely seated in its slot.•Check the Vacation Switch should be in the ON Position. Front power Switch and computerpower switch should be in the ON position.•Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or systembeing used. (Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)•Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommendedsettings.•Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.•Check the signal input.Power Button does not respond•Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor.•Check the Vacation Switch on the right hand side of the monitor.Image persistence•Image persistence is when a “ghost” of an image remains on the screen even after themonitor has been turned off. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is notpermanent. To alleviate image persistence, turn the monitor off for as long as an image wasdisplayed. If an image was on the monitor for one hour and a “ghost” of that image remains,the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC-Mitsubishi Electronic Displays recommendsusing a screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle.Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent•Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.•Use the OSM Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by increasing or decreasingthe fine total. When the display mode is changed, the OSM Image Adjust settings may needto be readjusted.•Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommendedsignal timings.• If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-interlace and use 75 Hz refresh rate.Message “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed (screen is either blank orshows rough images only)•Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSM warning “OUT OF RANGE” isdisplayed: Either signal clock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.•OSM warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed on a blank screen: Signal frequency is out ofrange. Choose one of the supported modes.LED on monitor is not lit (no green or amber colour can be seen)•Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.English-1501b_English 2/26/02, 10:06 AM22
