Introduction
Your new LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor 4312 FA offers numerous features and functions, for
example:
• TFT display (Thin Film Transistor; active matrix)

screen with CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)
• presentation of up to 16.7 million colours (in conjunction with an appropriate screen controller)
• automatic scanning of all horizontal frequencies from 31 to 80 kHz and all refresh rates (vertical
frequencies) from 55 to 75 Hz (all absolutely flicker-free)
• digital screen controller with microprocessor for storing 20 different display modes
• freely adjustable colour alignment for matching the screen colours to the colours of various
input and output devices
• convenient operation via integrated OSD (On-Screen-Display) menu
• VESA-DDC compatibility
• VESA-FPMPMI compatibility (Flat Panel Monitor Physical Mounting Interface, mechanical
interface to swivel arm and wall bracket)
• plug&play capability
• power management for reducing power consumption when the PC system is not in use
• compliance with the recommendations in accordance with TCO ’99
This Operating Manual contains important information you require to start up and run your LCD
monitor.
A screen controller with VGA interface is required to control the 4312 FA LCD monitor. The monitor
processes the data supplied to it by the screen controller. The screen controller/the associated
driver software is responsible for setting the modes (resolution and refresh rate).
When putting the monitor into operation for the first time, the screen display should be optimally
adapted to the screen controller used and adjusted in accordance with your needs (see section
"Changing the monitor settings" in chapter "Operation of the monitor").
Target group
You don't need to be an "expert" to perform the operations described here. Do, however, read the
chapter with the "Important notes" in the Operating Manual of the system unit and in this Operating
Manual.
In the event of any problems occurring, please contact your sales outlet or our customer service
centre.
Further information
Details of how you set the resolution and refresh rate are provided in the documentation on your
screen controller/the associated driver software.

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 customer service centre.
• The display surface of the LCD monitor is sensitive to pressure and scratches. You should
therefore be careful with the display surface so as to avoid lasting damage (Newton rings,
scratches).
• 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, please observe the instructions on
environmental conditions in the chapter entitled "Technical data" as well as the instructions in
the chapter "Installing an ergonomic video workstation".
• To ensure adequate ventilation the monitor may only be operated with the monitor foot
installed.
• Only the power adapter supplied may be used for the LCD monitor's power supply.
• Do not cover the power adapter when it is operational. Do not place the power adapter on heat-
sensitive material.
• The power adapter automatically sets itself to a mains voltage in the range of 100 V to 240 V.
Ensure that the local mains voltage lies within these limits.
• Ensure that the power socket on the power adapter or the grounded mains outlet is freely
accessible.
• The ON/OFF switch does not disconnect the device from the mains voltage. To completely
disconnect the mains voltage, 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
customer service centre.
• The screen background lighting contains mercury. You must observe the applicable handling
and disposal safety regulations for fluorescent tubes.
• If the LCD monitor is damaged (for example the glass is broken), avoid letting any liquids that
may escape coming into contact with any part of your body (skin, mouth, nose) or foodstuffs.
Clean parts of the body and clothing that have already come into contact with such liquids with
plenty of soap and water.
Do not breathe in any of the escaping vapours. You should contact your doctor if you have
breathed in fumes or come into contact with the liquid.
• Only qualified technicians should repair the device. Unauthorised opening and incorrect repair
may greatly endanger the user (electric shock, fire risk).
• The power adapter may only be opened by authorised specialist personnel.
• 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
customer service centre.
• Keep this operating manual together with your device. If you pass on the device to third parties,
you should include this manual.
Cleaning notes
• 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.
• The display surface of the LCD monitor is sensitive to pressure and scratches. Clean it only
using a soft, slightly moistened cloth.
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 notes
• Transport the monitor with care and only in its original packaging or another corresponding
packaging fit to protect it against knocks and jolts.
• Never drop the LCD monitor (danger of glass breakage).

Manufacturer’s notes
Energy Star
The Fujitsu Siemens LCD colour monitor 4312 FA is designed to conserve
electricity by dropping to less than 5 W when it goes into standby,
suspend and OFF mode. With this new power management the 4312 FA
qualifies for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy
Star Computers award.
The EPA estimates that computer equipment uses 5% percent of all business electricity and that
this is growing rapidly. If all desktop PCs and peripherals enter a low-power mode when not in use,
the overall savings in electricity could amount to $ 2 milliard annually. These savings could also
prevent the emission of 20 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - the equivalent of 5
million automobiles.
As an Energy Star Partner, Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH has determined that this product
meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.
CE marking
The shipped version of this device complies with the requirements of the EEC
directives 89/336/EEC "Electromagnetic compatibility" and 73/23/EEC "Low voltage
directive".

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorised
modifications of this equipment or the substitution or attachment of connecting cables and
equipment other than those specified by the manufacturer. The correction of interference caused by
such unauthorised modification, substitution or attachment will be the responsibility of the user.
The use of shielded I/O cables is required when connecting this equipment to any and all optional
peripheral or host devices. Failure to do so may violate FCC rules.
