processes the data supplied to it by the screen controller. The screen controller/the associated  
driver software is responsible for setting the modes (resolution and refresh rate).  
When putting the monitor into operation for the first time, the screen display should be optimally  
adapted to the screen controller used and adjusted in accordance with your needs (see section  
"Changing the monitor settings" in chapter "Operation of the monitor").  
Target group  
You don't need to be an "expert" to perform the operations described here. Do, however, read the  
chapter with the "Important notes" in the Operating Manual of the system unit and in this Operating  
Manual.  
In the event of any problems occurring, please contact your sales outlet or our customer service  
centre.  
Further information  
Details of how you set the resolution and refresh rate are provided in the documentation on your  
screen controller/the associated driver software.

Manufacturer’s notes  
Energy Star  
The Fujitsu Siemens LCD colour monitor 4312 FA is designed to conserve  
electricity by dropping to less than 5 W when it goes into standby,  
suspend and OFF mode. With this new power management the 4312 FA  
qualifies for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy

If your PC detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce the  
power consumption (energy-saving mode). The power indicator of the monitor changes colour to  
indicate the status change.  
Once an input is made at the PC the screen contents are redrawn and full power is restored.  
For detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates refer to the Operating Manual or  
Technical Manual of your PC.  
When the monitor is switched to the energy-saving mode by the power management  
system a power consumption of up to 5 W is maintained to feed the circuit for redrawing  
the screen contents.

Notes on ergonomic colour adjustment  
If you select colours for the display in your application programmes, take note of the information  
below.  
The primary colours blue and red on a dark background do not produce the minimum required  
contrast of 3:1 and are therefore not suitable for continuous text and data entry.  
When using several colours for characters and background and giving the primary colours full  
modulation, you can obtain very suitable colour combinations (see the following table):

Colour monitor 4312 FA  
VESA-DDC-compatible VGA interface  
Your monitor is equipped with a VESA-DDC-compatible VGA interface. VESA-DDC (Video  
Electronics Standard Association, Display Data Channel) is used as the communications interface  
between the monitor and the PC. If your computer is equipped with a VESA-DDC-compatible VGA  
interface, it can automatically read the data for ensuring optimum operation from your monitor and  
select the appropriate settings.  
If the monitor 4312 FA is not yet displayed in the list of monitors, you can select the  
following monitor instead:  
i
Siemens or Siemens Nixdorf 4311 FA, 4611 FA 4612 FA or 461 V

Permanently unlit or lit pixels  
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen  
display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number  
of pixels faults is stipulated in the stringent international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).  
Example: a 17" flat-screen monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 1280 has 1024 x 1280 = 1310720  
pixels. Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are about 4 million dots  
in total.  
According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 6 pixels and 7 subpixels may be defective, i. e.  
a total of 25 faulted dots. This corresponds to approx. 0,00062 % of the entire screen surface!  
The flat screen monitors from Fujitsu Siemens Computers are typically considerably better than  
requirements defined in this standard.  
The screen becomes darker  
The background lighting has a limited lifetime. If your monitor display should become too dark, the  
background lighting will have to be exchanged. Please contact our customer service centre.

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.  
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.

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-accumulative 1) 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 2)  
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.  
Mercury 2)  
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.  
Lead 2)  
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.  
1) Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.  
2) Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
