FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE THE  
FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UPAND USING THE  
MULTISYNC FE COLOUR MONITOR:  
• DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no user serviceable parts inside and opening or removing covers  
may expose you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
• Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.  
• Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points, which  
can be harmful or fatal or may cause electric shock, fire or equipment failure.  
• Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or fire.  
• Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the monitor may fall, causing  
serious damage to the monitor.  
• Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric motors and other devices such as external  
speakers or fans, which may create strong magnetic fields.  
If possible, position the monitor so that it is facing the east to minimize the effects of the earth’s magnetic  
field.  
Changing the direction of the monitor while it is powered on may cause image discolouration. To correct this,  
turn the monitor off for 20 minutes before powering it back on.  
When operating the MultiSync FE with its AC 220 - 240 V worldwide power supply, use a power supply cord  
that matches the power supply voltage of theAC power outlet being used. The power supply cord you use  
must have been approved by and comply with the safety standards of your country. (Type H05VV-F should  
be used except in UK)  
In UK, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a black (5A) fuse installed for use with this  
monitor. If a power cord is not supplied with this monitor, please contact your supplier.  
Cleaning Your Monitor  
A special coating is provided on the glass (CRT) surface of this monitor to reduce a reflection and static  
electricity on the glass surface. Due to the delicate coating on the glass surface, use a lint-free, non-abrasive  
cloth (cotton or equivalent) and a non-alcohol, neutral, non-abrasive cleaning solution to minimize dust. If the  
screen requires more than a light cleaning, apply a soft neutral detergent and water directly to a soft cloth and  
use it upon wringing water, to clean the glass surface. Clean your monitor regularly.  
CAUTION: The following agents will cause damage to the CRT when cleaning the glass surface:  
Benzene, thinner, acid/alkaline detergent, alcohol detergent, detergent with abrasive powder, detergent with  
anti-static agent, detergent for cleaning.  
Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under  
the following conditions:  
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

CORRECT PLACEMENTANDADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR  
CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDERAND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE  
FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:  
Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly  
below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the  
middle of the screen.  
Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm and no further away than  
60 cm from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm.  
Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 6 meter away.  
Blink often.  
Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to  
minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights  
do not reflect on your screen.  
If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare  
filter.  
Clean your monitor regularly. Use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and a non-alcohol, neutral, non-abrasive  
cleaning solution or glass cleaner to minimize dust.  
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.  
Get regular eye checkups.  
Ergonomics  
To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:  
• Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears  
• Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting  
• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals  
• Use the preset Colour Setting and Sides Left/Right controls  
• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 75 - 120 Hz  
• Do not use primary colour blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue  
due to insufficient contrast

Troubleshooting  
No picture  
• Display card should be completely seated in its slot.  
• Power Button and computer power switch should be in the ON position.  
• Signal cable should be completely connected to display card/computer.  
• Check connector for bent or pushed-in pins.  
Image is scrolling or unstable  
• Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.  
• Check pin assignments and signal timings of the monitor and your display card with respect to  
recommended timings and pin assignments.  
• If the Macintosh cable adapter is used, check for proper connection or make sure the display card is  
Macintosh compatible and that the card is properly seated in the computer.  
LED on monitor is not lit (no green, orange colour can be seen)  
• Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.  
Picture is fuzzy or colour looks blotchy  
• Adjust Brightness and Contrast Controls or adjust the Moiré Canceler control.  
• Access the Degauss Control through OSM controls. Activate the Degauss Control.  
CAUTION:Aminimum interval of 20 minutes should elapse before the Deguass Control is used a second  
time when not switching between modes.  
Picture bounces or a wavy pattern is present in the picture  
• Move electrical devices that may be causing electrical interference away from the monitor.  
• See inside cover of User’s Manual for FCC information.  
Edges of the display image are not square  
• Use the OSM Geometry Controls to straighten the edges.  
• If possible, position the front of the monitor facing east.  
Display image is not centered, too small, or too large  
• Use the OSM Size and Position Controls to adjust the image.  
Thin lines appear on your screen  
• Thin lines are normal for an aperture grille CRT and are not a malfunction.  
These are shadows from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille and are most noticeable when  
the screen’s background is light (usually white).  
Black vertical lines are visible on the screen  
• Thin vertical black lines on one or both sides of the screen. This minor condition is caused by grille element  
overlap which can occur during shipping.  
• Position an open white window over the affected area of the screen and maximize the brightness and  
contrast controls. This will cause localized heating of the overlap which will clear in a few minutes. Be sure  
to readjust the brightness and contrast controls back to the normal viewing level after this procedure.

TCO’99  
MultiSync FE Series  
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 manufac-  
turing. 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, radioac-  
tive 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 EnergyAdministration).  
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  
– continued  
TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retar-  
dants 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 conse-  
quent 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 Bio-accumulative.
