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, 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.
• The color 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 120 V
and 200 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 line voltage. To disconnect the
line voltage 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. Unauthorized 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 license 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
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 noteC551
• 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 notes
• 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!
Manufacturer's notes
Energy Star The Fujitsu Siemens Computers color monitor C551 is designed to
conserve electricity by dropping to less than 10 W when it goes into
standby/suspend mode and to less than 5 W when it goes into OFF mode.
With this new power management the C551 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 it 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 billion 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 certificate
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".
