Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Identifying and Correcting Problems

The following can be sources of problems:

•

Communications cables

•

Host system

•

Nearby power or electrical sources

7

Troubleshooting Table

Use Table 3 to identify and correct any problem area.

Table 3. Identifying and Correcting Problems

Symptom

Display does not appear.

Possible Cause

Brightness or contrast control is set too low.

Power Management feature is active in the off state.

There is no power.

Suggested Solution

Increase the brightness and contrast control setting to suit you.

Press any key and allow 20 seconds for monitor to warm up.

Check the power cord. Use another ac outlet.

Color impurity

Video display has moving dots and distorted lines.

The display rolls or flickers.

Magnetic fields can build up on the CRT.

There is electromagnetic interference.

Adjustments may be out of alignment.

Press the degauss switch to demagnetize the CRT. See

Caution below.

Move any electromagnetic device, such as a fan or motor, away from the monitor or move the monitor.

Hold the Recall button until the

LED changes from green to orange then back to green. See

Caution below.

CAUTION: Pressing the Recall button, or pressing the

Degauss button for longer than 5 seconds, resets all of the data in the user memory area so you must remake your user adjustments.

Power Management System

The monitor has three power-saving states indicated by the LED on the front panel. A personal computer can control these states to reduce the monitor’s output power levels while not in use, thus saving energy.

For proper operation of this Power Management System, make sure that the monitor signal cable is connected to the host system and that the host is On.

Asbestos

This monitor does not use asbestos in any form.

Flame Retardants

The enclosures do not contain polybrominated diphenylether (PBDE) as a flame retardant additive; therefore, they do not emit toxic dibenzofuran and dibenzodioxin gases.

Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS)

These monitors are in full compliance with the labeling requirements in the

U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. It does not contain, nor is it manufactured with, a Class 1 ODS, as defined in Title VI section 611 of this act.

PVC

The plastic enclosures are not made of rigid PVC. The material has a nonhalogenated, flame-retardant system and is cadmium free.

Recyclable Material

The packaging material can be recycled, or you can save it to return the monitor to a service center for repair or disposal.

Monitor Disposal

____________________ WARNING __________________________

If you need to dispose of a monitor, ask a qualified service representative for the proper procedure. Improper disposal could result in personal injury from implosion.
