GETTING STARTED
Your LCD monitor is versatile, ergonomic, and above all easy to use. The LCD monitor is
capable of displaying most standards, from 640 x 480 VGA to 1280 by 1024 SXGA. The
front-panel controlsallowyou to easily adjust the monitor’s display parameters to suit
your habits.
Quick Setup
FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS TO CORRECTLY SET UP YOUR MONITOR.
1. Remove all packing materials and wrapping fromthe monitor (page 3).
2. Place the monitor in its desired location. Ensure that there is space around the
monitor,especially the rear area near the vents.
3. With the computer turned off, connect the VGA signal cable (page 7).
4. With the monitor switched off,connect the AC adapter (page 6).
5. Turn on the computer.
6. Press the power switch on the monitor (page 4). The display should appear. If no
display appears, check Warning Messages and Troubleshooting (page 15).
7. Ensure that your computer display is set at 1024X768 pixels and 60Hz. Press the
AUTO button (page 4). The monitor optimizes the display automatically.
Note! The monitor is compliant with VESA FPMPMI standards and can be wall- or
arm-mounted. Before wall-mounting or arm-mounting, disassemble the
monitor stand.

TCO ‘95
Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO’95 approved and labeled 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.
Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?
In many countries, environmental labeling 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 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 consumes an enormous amount of energy since they are often left
running continuously.
What does labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95 scheme that provides for international and
environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling 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,
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 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.
Labeled 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.
On the back page of this folder, you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements
met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:
