●The monitor fulfils all GS (“Geprüfte Sicherheit”, Certified Security) requirements.
This operating manual contains important information you require to start up and run your LCD
monitor.
A graphics card (screen controller) with VGA interface or a digital graphics card with DVI interface is
required to control the SCENICVIEW A17-3A/A19-3A LCD monitor. The monitor processes the data
supplied to it by the screen controller. The screen controller or 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 the
"Changing the monitor settings" section in the "Operation of the monitor" chapter).
Target group
You don't need to be an "expert" to perform the operations described here. However, please observe
the safety information given in the operating instructions of the computer and in this manual.
In the event of any problems occurring, please contact your sales outlet or our help desk.
Additional information
Details of how you set the resolution and refresh rate are provided in the documentation on your
screen controller/the associated driver software.
For ergonomical reasons, we recommend a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 when using the
SCENICVIEW A17-3A and A19-3A monitors.
Because of the technology used (active matrix) an LCD monitor provides a totally flicker-free picture
even with a refresh rate of 60 Hz.

electronic office machines for use in an office environment. If you have any questions, contact your
sales outlet or our help desk.
●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 (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 installing and operating the device, please observe the instructions on environmental
conditions in the "Technical data" chapter as well as the instructions in the "Installing an
ergonomic video workstation" chapter.

A26361-K1159-Z120-1-7619, edition 1 3
●To ensure sufficient ventilation, the intake and exhaust air openings of the monitor must never
be blocked.
●The monitor 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 device 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.
●The monitor is equipped with a power cable that complies with safety standards.
●Lay all cables so that nobody can stand on them or trip over them. When attaching the device,
observe the relevant notes in the "Connecting the monitor" chapter.
●No data transfer cables should be connected or disconnected during a thunderstorm.
●Make sure that no objects (e.g. jewellery chains, paper clips, etc.) or liquids get inside the
device (danger of electric shock, short circuit).
●The device is not waterproof! Never immerse the device in water and protect it from spray
water (rain, sea water).
●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.
●The monitor must be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations for disposal of
special waste. The screen background lighting contains mercury. You must observe the
applicable handling and disposal safety regulations for fluorescent tubes.
●Only qualified technicians should repair the device. Unauthorised opening and incorrect repair
may greatly endanger the user (electric shock, fire risk).
●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.
●Use a screen saver with moving images and activate the power management for your monitor
to prevent still images from "burning in".
●If you operate the monitor with the swivel arm or wall bracket, it may not be turned by 180°.
●The SCENICVIEW A17-3A/A19-3A monitor may only be operated in landscape mode (0°) and
portrait mode (90°). The control buttons are located at the bottom of the monitor in landscape
mode (0°) and at the left-hand side of the monitor in portrait mode (90°).
●Store this manual close to the device. If you pass the device on to third parties, you should
pass this manual on with it.
●We recommend that you place your device on a durable, non-slip surface. Due to the wide
variety of different finishes and varnishes used on furniture, it is possible that the feet of the
device will mark the surface they stand on.

Energy Star Guidelines
The Fujitsu Siemens LCD monitor SCENICVIEW A17-3A/A19-3A is
designed to conserve electricity by dropping to less than 1 W when it goes
into standby, suspend and OFF mode. With this new power management
the LCD monitor SCENICVIEW A17-3A/A19-3A 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 computers and peripherals enter a low-power mode when not in
use, the overall savings in electricity could amount to $ 2 thousand million 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.
