Important notes
!In this chapter you will find information regarding safety which is essential to take note of
with your monitor.
Safety
This device complies with the relevant safety regulations for data processing equipment, including
electronic office machines for use in an office environment. If you have any questions, contact your
sales outlet or our Help Desk.
• If the device is brought into the installation site from a cold environment, condensation can
form. Before operating the device, wait until it is absolutely dry and has reached approximately
the same temperature as the installation site.
• During installation and before operating the device, observe the instructions on environmental
conditions in the chapter "Technical data".
• To ensure adequate ventilation the monitor may only be operated with the monitor foot
installed.
• The colour monitor must not be exposed to strong magnetic fields (e. g. caused by magnetic
paper clip holders or loudspeakers). Strong magnetic fields could result in a permanent blotchy
image.
• The monitor is automatically degaussed when switched on. This results in a magnetic field
around the metal edge of the picture tube, which may damage the data on data carriers nearby.
Therefore, never keep magnetic data carriers near the monitor.
• The device automatically sets itself to the correct voltage within the range from 100 V to 240 V.
Ensure that the local mains voltage lies within these limits.
• The device must be installed in such a way that the user has good access to the appliance
socket.
• The ON/OFF switch does not disconnect the device from the mains voltage. To disconnect the
electricity supply completely, remove the power plug from the socket.
• Lay all cables so that nobody can stand on them or trip over them. When attaching the device,
observe the relevant notes in the chapter "Connecting the monitor".
• No data transmission cable should be connected or disconnected during a thunderstorm.
• Please ensure that no objects (e. g. necklaces, paperclips etc.) or liquids can get into the
interior of the device (this may cause an electrical shock or short circuit).
• In emergencies (e. g. damaged casing, elements or cables, penetration of liquids or foreign
matter), switch off the unit, disconnect the power plug and contact your sales outlet or our Help
Desk.
• Only qualified technicians should repair the device. Unauthorised opening and incorrect repair
may greatly endanger the user (electric shock, fire risk).
• Tampering with the device, in particular adjusting the high voltage or installing a different type
of CRT tube, may result in a large amount of X-ray radiation being emitted. Devices modified in
this way no longer comply with their licence and may not be used.
• You may set only those resolutions and refresh rates specified in the "Technical data" chapter.
Otherwise you may damage your monitor. If you are in any doubt, contact your sales outlet or
our Help Desk.

• Keep this Operating Manual together with your device. If you pass on the device to third
parties, you should include this manual.
Cleaning
• Always pull out the power plug before you clean the monitor.
• Do not clean any interior parts yourself, leave this job to a service technician.
• Do not use any cleaning agents that contain abrasives or may corrode plastic.
• Ensure that no liquid will run into the system.
• Ensure that the ventilation areas of the monitor are free.
• When cleaning the surface of the screen, always use a soft, slightly damp cloth in order to
avoid scratching the glass.
Wipe the monitor housing with a dry cloth. If the monitor is particularly dirty, use a cloth which has
been moistened in mild domestic detergent and then carefully wrung out.
Transport
• When transporting the monitor ensure that it is not exposed to strong magnetic fields.
• Transport the monitor with care and only in its original packaging or another corresponding
packaging fit to protect it against knocks and jolts.
• Above all, never drop the monitor. If the CRT is damaged, there is a risk of implosion!

Notes on power management
If your computer has a VESA DPMS (Video Electronics Standard Association, Display Power
Management Signaling) power management function (energy-saving mode), your monitor will fully
support this function. The monitor has a four-stage power management system.
Stage ON Standby mode Suspend mode OFF mode
Power indicator green green amber amber flashing
(1 sec.)
Function Monitor operating
normally Monitor is dark Monitor is dark Monitor is dark
Power
consumption normal <75W reduced to < 60 W reduced to < 15 W reduced to < 5 W
If your computer detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce
the power consumption. The power indicator of the monitor flashes to indicate the status change.
If there is still no input, power consumption is further reduced (OFF mode).
Once an input is made at the computer the screen contents are redrawn and full power is restored.
The length of the individual stages is determined by the power management system of the
computer. For detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates refer to the Operating
Manual or Technical Manual of your computer.
i
The service life of your monitor will be extended if the OFF mode is switched to after
30 minutes at the earliest (setting in screen saver or in your computer's BIOS setup).
When the monitor is switched to OFF mode by the power management system a power
consumption of up to 5 W is maintained to feed the circuit for redrawing the screen
contents.
To cut off power consumption totally, press the ON/OFF switch on the front of the monitor.
Connecting the monitor
Information on the computer connections is contained in the operating manual for your computer.
!Please note the "Safety" information provided in the chapter "Important notes"inthe
Operating Manual of the PC.
Do not cover the ventilation openings of the monitor.
If you are assembling monitors beside each other, there must be a minimum distance of
30 cm between monitors of the same constructional type, to avoid image distortion. With
different monitors, the distance must be increased, if necessary.
Ê Be sure that the monitor and the computer are switched off.
!The computer power plug must be pulled!
