(p. 16)

Try pressing the AUTO-SIZING button or control pad or turn the monitor off and then on. (p. 16)

2. Following messages appear.

•“No signal detected” error message appears.

These messages appear when the signal is not inputted correctly, even if the monitor functions properly. Error messages will remain on the screen for 30 seconds.

When the image is displayed correctly after a short time, it is not a monitor’s problem. (Some PC does not output the signal soon after powering on).

Check that the PC is turned ON.

Check that the signal cable is properly connected to the

PC or graphics board.

Switch the signal input by pressing the BNC/D-Sub selection button on the front control panel.

Use the graphics board’s utility software to change the frequency setting. (Refer to the manual of the graphics board).

3. The image vibrates on the screen.

Check that the signal cable is properly connected to the

PC or graphics board.

The monitor may be located close to a device that is generating a magnetic field. Such devices include speakers (other than the EIZO optional i·Sound speaker), electric motors, high-voltage cables, and other monitors.

It may be solved by turning off or moving the interfering device, or by relocating the monitor.

18

4. TROUBLESHOOTING

Problems

3. (The continuation)

4. The image is flickering.

5. Moiré patterns appear.

6. The characters and images have a slight shadow on their right side.

Points to check with possible solutions

Use of the <Moiré Reduction> adjustment may cause a slight vibration. To eliminate the vibration, set the adjustment level to lower percentage or 0%.

If the volume level of the EIZO optional i·Sound speaker is too high, it may, in some cases, cause a slight vibration. To eliminate, turn down the volume of the speaker.

Flicker will occur with interlaced scanning, or noninterlaced scanning with a low refresh rate. All EIZO monitors are capable of reproducing high refresh rates for non-interlaced scanning. If a problem occurs when using a non-interlaced signal, try adjusting the graphics board to increase the refresh rate (if possible). Refer to the graphics board manual for information.

Reduce the moiré using the <Moiré Reduction>.

Change the horizontal and vertical size of the display area.

Change the selected desktop or wallpaper pattern to any solid color pattern. For detailed information on how to change these patterns, refer to the PC and operating system manual.

Change the mode of <Signal Filter 1>.

Change the refresh rate. Refer to the PC and graphics board manual for information.

7. The characters and images have several vertical bars on their right side.

Adjust to decrease the vertical bars at the

<Signal Filter 2>.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING

19

Problems

8. The entire screen appears too dark or bright.

Points to check with possible solutions

Adjust the <Contrast> (Contrast and Brightness).

Some signal timing can be the cause of this problem. To correct this, turn off the monitor, then hold down the

“down” arrow key while turning on the monitor again.

This will change the signal timing and brighten the screen. If the above operation is repeated, the screen becomes dark again.

9. Color is abnormal.

• The entire screen appears bluish or reddish.

• Color purity is not uniform.

• Misconvergence of colors(red, green, blue)

10. AUTO-SIZING button

does not work properly.

11. ScreenManager/AUTO-

SIZING button does not operate.

When the monitor is not fully warmed up, the screen may look slightly colored, e.g. bluish or reddish. This phenomenon is due to the unstableness of the electron gun during its warm-up period. Wait for about 30 minutes until the monitor stabilizes in order to gain its proper color.

Adjust the <Degauss>.

Return the factory default setting by using <Reset>.

Note that all the ScreenManager parameters will be returned to the factory default setting. (p. 22)

Adjust the <Uniformity>.

Try adjusting the <Convergence>. The <Convergence> function adjusts the entire screen. It is not possible to limit adjustment to specific screen areas.

The Auto sizing function is intended for use on the

Macintosh and on AT-compatible PC running Windows.

It may not work properly if either of the following cases.

• You are running an AT-compatible PC on MS-DOS

(Not windows).

• The background color for the “wall paper” or

“desktop”pattern is set to black.

Some signals from graphics board may not function properly.

The Adjustment Lock is probably on.

To unlock: Turn off the monitor power, then hold down the AUTO-SIZING button once again and turn the power back on. (p. 17)

The AUTO-SIZING function may be set “Fine Contrast” in the <Button Setting>. Change the setting to “Auto

Sizing”. (p. 15)

7. GLOSSARY

Color Temperature

Color temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin. At high temperatures the white tone appears somewhat blue, while at lower temperatures it appears somewhat red. Computer monitors generally give best performance at high temperature settings.

5,000K: Often used in printing industry.

6,500K: Good for video-image display.

9,300K: Default setting for your EIZO monitor.

Convergence

Convergence is the monitor’s ability to precisely illuminate specific phosphors and line them up properly in order to produce pure color.

Cutoff and Gain

Monitors use red, green and blue (R, G, and B) to convey color information. They use an additive method to combine different amounts of the primary colors to produce a desired color. In other words, monitors start with no light (black) and add percentages of red, green and blue to make colors. White is usually produced by adding the same amount of all three colors, where black is usually produced by adding no color. However, colors are not only determined by the balance but also the intensities of R, G, and B (how bright they are) which we call Gain, and the saturation of R, G and B (how vivid or dull they are) which we call Cutoff.

Degaussing

“Degaussing” refers to the process of removing magnetic-field effects from the monitor. Operation of the monitor within a magnetic field may adversely effect color purity. Degaussing can be used to correct the problem.

Moiré

Moiré refers to an interference pattern of dark wavy lines on the screen. It is not a defect, but rather an interference phenomenon caused by the relationship between the phosphor layout and the imaging signal. Moiré is often an indication of a good focus level. Moiré is particularly noticeable when using a light-gray or every-other-dot pattern background. Although moiré can not be eliminated, it can be reduced with the moiré reduction feature.

7. GLOSSARY

Resolution

Resolution is expressed as the number of dots (pixels) displayed on the screen.

A larger number of dots produces a more sharply defined (a higher-resolution) image. Note that for a given screen size the dot size decreases as the number of dots increases: a 640 x 480 (dot x line) resolution uses larger pixels than a 1024 x

768 resolution. The display size of a given font therefore varies according to the resolution. Higher resolutions allow you to display more information on the screen.

Uniformity

The uniformity is the purity of the color when a white screen is displayed on screen. Some monitors have blue or pink tinted areas that exhibit poor white uniformity. Some monitors have some brighter and darker areas, then this is an indication of bright uniformity error.

VESA DPMS

The acronym VESA stands for “Video Electronics Standards Association,” and

DPMS stands for “Display Power Management Signaling.” DPMS is a communication standard that PCs and graphics boards use to implement power savings on the monitor side.

8. INDEX

Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional

Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy.

The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product.

Environmental requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.

The relevant TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labelled unit.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO’99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.

** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
