Adjusting Screen Quality

Allow the monitor to warm up for 20 minutes before performing the following procedures.

The Auto Adjustment feature automatically fine-tunes the image quality each time a new video mode is utilized. If additional improvement is desired, select the Auto Adjust control on the front bezel.

For more precise adjustments, use the adjustment pattern provided on the CD-ROM, and adjust the clock and phase settings (accessed from the OSD menu) as described in the following section.

Optimizing Digital Conversion

This monitor contains advanced circuitry that allows the flat panel screen to function like a standard monitor. Two controls in the on-screen display can be adjusted to improve image performance: Clock and Clock Phase. Use these controls only when the auto adjust function does not provide a satisfactory image.

The Clock must first be set correctly since the Clock Phase settings are dependent on the main Clock setting.

Clock—Increase/decrease the value to minimize any vertical bars or stripes visible on the screen background.

Clock Phase—Increase/decrease the value to minimize video distortion or video jitter.

When using the controls, you will obtain the best results by using the adjustment pattern application provided on the CD-ROM.

Energy Saver Feature

When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the monitor uses less than 60 watts of power and the Power light is green.

The monitor also supports a reduced power state. The reduced power state will be entered into if the monitor detects the absence of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal.

Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned off, and the Power light is turned amber. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the monitor will utilize less than 5 watts of power. There is a brief warm up period before the monitor will return to its normal operating mode.

Refer to your computer manual for instructions on setting energy saver features (sometimes called power management features).

The above energy saver feature only works when connected to computers that have energy saver features.

By selecting settings in the monitor’s Energy Saver utility, you can also program the monitor to enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor’s Energy Saver utility causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the

Power light blinks amber.

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.

User’s Guide 25

Sarah User Guide.book Page 26 Tuesday, September 3, 2002 8:33 AM

Agency Regulatory Notices

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.

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 bioaccumulative* 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.

User’s Guide 27

Sarah User Guide.book Page 28 Tuesday, September 3, 2002 8:33 AM

Agency Regulatory Notices

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. There is however one exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available alternative.

TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.

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.

*Bioaccumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.

**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals that are

Bioaccumulative.

Power Cord Set Requirements

The monitor power supply is provided with Automatic Line

Switching (ALS). This feature allows the monitor to operate on input voltages between 100-120V or 200-240V.

The power cord set (flexible cord or wall plug) received with the monitor meets the requirements for use in the country where you purchased the equipment.

If you need to obtain a power cord for a different country, you should purchase a power cord that is approved for use in that country.

The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product's electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the product. In addition, the cross-sectional area of the wire must be a minimum of 0.75 mm² or 18AWG, and the length of the cord must be between 6 feet

(1.8 m) and 12 feet (3.6 m). If you have questions about the type of power cord to use, contact your Compaq authorized service provider.

A power cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon it or against it. Particular attention should be paid to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord exits from the product.
