Hinweise
· Aus ergonomischen Gründen wird empfohlen, die
Grundfarbe Blau nicht auf dunklem Untergrund zu
verwenden (schlechte Erkennbarkeit, Augenbelastung bei zu
geringem Zeichenkontrast).
· Aus ergonomischen Gründen (flimmern) sollten nur
Darstellungen bei Vertikalfrequenzen ab 70 Hz (ohne
Zeilensprung) verwendet werden.
· Die Konvergenz des Bildes kann sich auf Grund des
Magnetfeldes am Ort der Aufstellung aus der korrekten
Grundeinstellung verändern. Zur Korrektur empfiehlt es sich
deshalb, die Regler an der Frontseite für Konvergenz so
einzustellen, daß die getrennt sichtbaren Farblinien für Rot,
Grün und Blau bei z.B. der Darstellung eines Buchstabens zur
Deckung (Konvergenz) gelangen.
Siehe hierzu auch die Erklärungen zu Konvergenz.

Getting Started
Warning on power connection
· Use an appropriate power cord for your local power
supply.
For the customers in the U.S.A.
If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will
not conform to mandatory FCC standards.
Examples of plug types
· Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30
seconds after turning off the power to allow the static
electricity on the CRT display surface to discharge.
· After the power has been turned on, the CRT is
demagnetized (degaussed) for about 3 seconds. This
generates a strong magnetic field around the metal frame,
which may affect the data stored on magnetic tapes and
disks near the bezel. Place magnetic recording equipment,
tapes and disks away from this monitor.
The outlet should be installed near the equipment
and be easily accessible.
Precautions
Installation
· Prevent internal heat build-up by allowing adequate air
circulation. Do not place the monitor on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that
may block the ventilation holes.
· Do not install the monitor near heat sources such as
radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
· Do not place the monitor near equipment which generates
magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power
lines.
Maintenance
· Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine.
· Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with
sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or
screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched
picture tube.
· Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass
cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing
an anti-static solution or similar additive as this may
scratch the screen's coating.
Transportation
When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use
the original carton and packing materials.
Use of the Tilt-Swivel
With the tilt-swivel, this monitor can be adjusted to the
desired angle within 180° horizontally and 20° vertically.
To turn the monitor vertically and horizontally, hold it at
the bottom with both hands as illustrated below.
for 100 to 120 V AC
for 200 to 240 V AC
