20EnglishEnglish

hp pavilion fxlcd monitor T ro u b les ho o ting The picture is not centered: Adjust your monitor using the Automatic Adjustment function (refer to Auto Adjustment on page 14). LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy Your Hewlett-Packard TFT display uses high precision technology, manufactured according to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free personal computing. Nevertheless, your display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in products supplied by all vendors and is not specific to the HP P3901 displays. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels. A pixel consists of one red, one green and one blue sub-pixel. Defective sub-pixels are less visible than defective whole pixels. Defective sub-pixels are small and only visible on a specific background. Defective means either the pixel or sub-pixel is stuck always ON, a bright spot on a dark background, or it is stuck always OFF, a dark spot on a bright background. The first is the more visible of the two. A dot defect is a stuck sub-pixel. Your HP P3901 will not have more than: 10 total dot defects 8 stuck full pixels 8 stuck red sub-pixels 5 stuck green sub-pixels (green is most visible) 8 stuck blue sub-pixels No more than two adjacent pixels may be stuck Adjacent is defined as less than 15mm edge to edge No more than two pairs of two-adjacent stuck pixels per display

To locate defective pixels, the unit should be viewed under normal operating conditions and in normal operating mode at a supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in.). HP expects that over time, the industry will continue to improve its ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic imperfections and HP will adjust our guidelines as improvements are made.

TCO 99

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.

English27

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. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from: TCO Development SE-Stockholm, Sweden Fax: +07 Email (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO'99 approved and labelled products may also be obtained via the Internet, using the address: http://www.tco-info.com/ 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-accumulative1 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. Cadmium2
Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms

28EnglishEnglish

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-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 color-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium. Mercury2 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. Lead2 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.

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

Use to Adjust. the brightness (image black level). the contrast (image white level). the horizontal position of the displayed image. the horizontal size of the displayed image. the vertical position of the displayed image. the vertical size of the displayed image. the vertical edges if they appear to curl inwards or outwards. the vertical edges if they do not appear to be parallel. and rotate the left and right edges of the image.
Setting the Amount of Displayed Information
It is recommended that you use a resolution of 800 x 600 at 85 Hz. This gives easy-to-read characters, a large amount of displayed information and a flicker-free image. You can make adjustments to the displayed image which are automatically saved for the resolution you are using. For example, if you adjust your monitor when working in SVGA, those settings are saved for SVGA. If you then work in VGA and change the image settings, they are saved for VGA. The next time you switch back to SVGA your previous settings are used automatically. To find out which resolutions are supported by your monitor, refer to What Video Modes are Supported on page 8. To change the screen resolution, please refer to the manual that came with your computer or your operating system documentation. Your monitor has a Plug and Play capability (VESA DDC1/2B standard) which enables it to identify itself to suitably equipped HP computers. This will automatically give you the best refresh rate for the resolution that you have set. Also, by using the appropriate software (when available) you can adjust the monitor settings directly from your computer

HP 15 Color Monitor Users Guide Supported Video Modes

Supported Video Modes

Your monitor supports the video modes shown in the table below.

Screen Resolution Image Refresh Rate 70 Hz 70 Hz 60, 75, 85 Hz 60, 75, 85 Hz 60 Hz,
Selecting a video mode on your computer with a screen resolution/image refresh rate combination higher than at 60 Hz can damage your monitor. Selecting a video mode not supported by your monitor will cause your monitor screen to blank.

Minimizing Eye Strain

To avoid screen flicker and minimize eye strain, use the highest supported image refresh rate for the chosen resolution. It is recommended that you use a refresh rate of 85 Hz. The image refresh rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed.
Minimizing Energy Consumption
If your computer supports VESA monitor power management (available on many HP computers), you can minimize the power consumed by the monitor. There are two power saving modes: Suspend mode1 (uses less than 15W). In this mode, the monitor's front panel indicator light is amber. Active off mode2 (uses less than 8W). In this mode, the monitor's front panel indicator light is amber. To set these power saving modes, refer to the manual that came with your computer. If your screen is not displaying an image, check the front panel indicator light first as your monitor may be in a power saving mode.
Suspend mode is activated when vertical sync is cut by the video controller. Active off mode is activated when both vertical and horizontal sync are cut by the video controller.

HP 15 Color Monitor Users Guide Care and Cleaning

Care and Cleaning

Do not place anything on top of the monitor. Doing so may block the monitor vents and cause damage to the monitor due to overheating. Do not let liquid get on or into the monitor. To maximize screen life and prevent damage to the picture tube (such as burned phosphor due to leaving the same image on the screen for a long time), it is recommended that you: Use the monitor power management system (on HP computers) or a screen saver program. Avoid setting contrast and brightness to their maximum levels for prolonged periods. If you do not have a power management system or a screen saver program, switch the monitor off or reduce the brightness and contrast to minimum levels when the monitor is not in use. Your monitor has an anti-glare, anti-static screen coating. To prevent damage to the monitor screen's coating, use a regular household glass cleaner when cleaning the screen. To clean the screen:
Switch the monitor off and remove the power plug (pull the plug, not the cable). 2 Wet a soft cotton cloth with the cleaning solution and gently wipe the screen. Do not spray cleaner onto the screen because the cleaner may drip inside the monitor. 3 Dry with a clean, soft cotton cloth. Do not use cleaning solutions containing fluoride, acids, or alkalis.
Environmental Information
HP has a strong commitment toward the environment. Your HP monitor has been designed to respect the environment as much as possible. HP can also take back your old monitor for recycling when it reaches the end of its useful life. In fact, HP has a product take-back program in several countries. The collected equipment is sent to one of HP's recycling facilities in Europe or the USA. As many parts as possible are reused. The remainder is recycled. Special care is taken for batteries and other potentially toxic substances, which are reduced to non-harmful components through a special chemical process. If you require more details about HP's product take-back program, contact your dealer or your nearest HP Sales Office.
