TCO’99
l English TCO'99 document.
MultiSync Model
Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labeled
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 the manufacturing. Since it has not been
possible for the majority of electronics equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, 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 conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the
environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to
conserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of energy
since they are often left running continuously.
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).
The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of
electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.
The environmental demands concern 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 plan 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. In
turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can
consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride and
these are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give
rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fisheating 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.
TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not
contain flame retardants with organically bound chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants are
allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.
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.
TCO’99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been
developed.
Cadmium**
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colourgenerating layers of certain
computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.
TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colourgenerating 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, Mercury damages the nervous
system and is toxic in high doses.
TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any Mercury. It also demands that no
mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the display
unit.
CFCs (freons)
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 consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).
The relevant TCO’99 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the
manufacturing and assembly of the product or its packaging.
*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bioaccumulative.

solution or glass cleaner!
•Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.
•Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
•Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly
in front of you to minimize turning your head while you are typing.
•Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence
(after-image effects).
•Get regular eye checkups.
Ergonomics
To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:
•Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.
•Use the preset Colour Setting.
•Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60-75 Hz.
•Do not use primary colour blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye
fatigue to insufficient contrast.

*1 Interpolated Resolutions: When resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel count of the LCD module, text may appear
different. This is normal and necessary for all current flat panel technologies when displaying non-native resolutions full screen. In
flat panel technologies, each dot on the screen is actually one pixel, so to expand resolutions to full screen, an interpolation of the
resolution must be done.
*2 NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display cites recommended resolutions at 75 Hz for optimal display performance.

Features
sRGB Colour Control: A new optimized colour management standard which allows for colour
matching on computer displays and other peripherals. The sRGB, which is based on the
calibrated colour space, allows for optimal colour representation and backward compatibility with
other common colour standards.
Reduced Footprint: Provides the ideal solution for environments requiring superior image
quality but with size and weight limitations. The monitor’s small footprint and low weight allow
it to be moved or transported easily from one location to another.
Colour Control System: Allows you to adjust the colours on your screen and customize the
colour accuracy of your monitor to a variety of standards.
OSM (On-Screen Manager) Controls: Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of
your screen image via simple to use on-screen menus.
ErgoDesign Features: Enhance human ergonomics to improve the working environment,
protect the health of the user and save money. Examples include OSM controls for quick and
easy image adjustments, tilt base for preferred angle of vision, small footprint and compliance
with MPRII and TCO guidelines for lower emissions.
Plug and Play: The Microsoft solution with the Windows 95/98/2000 operating system facilitates
setup and installation by allowing the monitor to send its capabilities (such as screen size and
resolutions supported) directly to your computer, automatically optimizing display performance.
IPM (Intelligent Power Manager) System: Provides innovative power-saving methods that
allow the monitor to shift to a lower power consumption level when on but not in use, saving two-
thirds of your monitor energy costs, reducing emissions and lowering the air conditioning costs
of the workplace.
Multiple Frequency Technology: Automatically adjusts monitor to the display card’s scanning
frequency, thus displaying the resolution required.
FullScan Capability: Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly
expanding image size.
Wide Viewing Angle Technology: Allows the user to be able to see the monitor from any angle
(±75° degrees) from any orientation – Portrait or Landscape. Provides full ±75° viewing angles
either up, down, left or right.
VESA Standard Mounting Interface: Allows users to connect their MultiSync monitor to any
VESA standard (75 mm pitch) third party mounting arm or bracket. Allows for the monitor to be
mounted on a wall or an arm using any third party compliant device.
DVI-I: The intergrated interface ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) that
allows both digital and analog connectors through one port. The “I” stands for intergration for
both digital and analog. The digital portion is TMDS based.
DVI-D: The digital only subset of DVI ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) for
digital connections between computers and displays. As a digital only connector, analog support
is not provided for through a DVI-D connector. As a TMDS based digital only connection, only a
simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DVI-D and other TMDS based digital
connectors such as DFP and P&D.
DVI-A: The analog only subset of DVI ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) for
analog connections between computers and displays. As an analog only connector, digital
support is not provided for through a DVI-A and/or a D-Sub 15pin connector.
P&D: Plug and Display - The VESA standard for digital flat panel monitor interfaces. It is more
robust than DFP since it allows for other options through a single connector (options like USB,
analog video and IEEE-1394-995). The VESA committee has recognized that DFP is a subset
of P&D. As a TMDS based connector (for the digital input pins), only a simple adapter is
necessary for compatibility between P&D and other TMDS based digital connectors such as DVI
and DFP.

Troubleshooting
No picture
•The signal cable should be completely connected to the display card/computer.
•The display card should be completely seated in its slot.
•Check the Vacation Switch should be in the ON Position. Front power Switch and computer
power switch should be in the ON position.
•Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or system
being used. (Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)
•Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended
settings.
•Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.
•Check the signal input.
Power Button does not respond
•Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor.
•Check the Vacation Switch on the right hand side of the monitor.
Image persistence
•Image persistence is when a “ghost” of an image remains on the screen even after the
monitor has been turned off. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not
permanent. To alleviate image persistence, turn the monitor off for as long as an image was
displayed. If an image was on the monitor for one hour and a “ghost” of that image remains,
the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC-Mitsubishi Electronic Displays recommends
using a screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle.
Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent
•Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.
•Use the OSM Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by increasing or decreasing
the fine total. When the display mode is changed, the OSM Image Adjust settings may need
to be readjusted.
•Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended
signal timings.
• If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-interlace and use 75 Hz refresh rate.
Message “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed (screen is either blank or
shows rough images only)
•Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSM warning “OUT OF RANGE” is
displayed: Either signal clock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.
•OSM warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed on a blank screen: Signal frequency is out of
range. Choose one of the supported modes.
LED on monitor is not lit (no green or amber colour can be seen)
•Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.
