This operating manual contains important information you require to start up and run your LCD  
monitor.  
A screen controller with VGA interface is required to control the B15-1 LCD monitor. The monitor  
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 the  
"Changing the monitor settings" section in the"Operation of the monitor" chapter).  
Target group  
You don't need to be an "expert" to perform the operations described here. Do, however, read the  
"Important notes" chapter in the operating manual of the computer and in this operating manual.  
In the event of any problems occurring, please contact your sales outlet or our help desk.  
Additional information  
Details of how you set the resolution and refresh rate are provided in the documentation on your  
screen controller/the associated driver software.

Energy Star Guidelines  
The Fujitsu Siemens LCD colour monitor B15-1 is designed to conserve  
electricity by dropping to less than 1 W when it goes into standby,  
suspend and OFF mode. With this new power management the B15-1  
qualifies for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy  
Star Computers award.  
The EPA estimates that computer equipment uses 5 % percent of all business electricity and that  
this is growing rapidly. If all desktop computers and peripherals enter a low-power mode when not in  
use, the overall savings in electricity could amount to $ 2 thousand million annually. These savings  
could also prevent the emission of 20 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - the  
equivalent of 5 million automobiles.  
As an Energy Star Partner, Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH has determined that this product  
meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.

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 B15-1  
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 computer. 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 B15-1 is not yet displayed in the list of monitors, you can select the  
following monitor instead:  
i
Fujitsu Siemens 3815 FA, 3814 FA, 382V, 381V  
Siemens or Siemens Nixdorf MCF 3511 TA, MCM 1405 ND  
Preset operating modes  
The picture position and size have been set to optimum values at the factory for the  
operating modes listed above. Depending on the screen controller used, it may be  
necessary to adjust the display position and size. In this case, you can change and save  
the settings (see "Operation of the monitor").

For ergonomic reasons, a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels is recommended. Because of the  
technology used (active matrix) an LCD monitor provides a totally flicker-free picture even with a  
refresh rate of 60 Hz.

Colour monitor B15-1  
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 15" flat-screen monitor with a  
resolution of 1024 x 768 has 1024 x 768 =  
786432 pixels. Each pixel consists of three  
subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are  
about 2.4 million dots in total.  
According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum  
of 4 pixels and 5 subpixels may be defective, i.  
e. a total of 17 faulted dots. This corresponds to  
approx. 0,002% of the entire screen surface!
