							LaCie 500 Series LCD Monitor Safety Precautions and Maintenance
User Manual page 4
Safety Precautions and 
Maintenance
 
 ❖DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There 
are no user serviceable parts inside and 
opening or removing covers may ex-
pose you to dangerous shock hazards 
or other risks. Refer all servicing to qual-
ified 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 surface, as the monitor may 
fall, causing serious damage.
 ❖Do not place any objects onto the 
monitor and do not use the monitor 
outdoors.
 ❖The inside of the fluorescent tube lo-
cated within the LCD monitor contains 
mercury. Please follow the bylaws or 
rules of your municipality to dispose of 
the tube properly.
 ❖Do not bend power cord.
 ❖Do not use monitor in high tempera-
tures, humid, dusty, or oily areas.
 ❖Do not cover vent on monitor.
Immediately unplug your monitor from the 
outlet and refer servicing to qualified per-
sonnel under the following conditions:
 ❖When the power supply cord or plug is 
damaged.
 ❖If liquid has been spilled, or objects 
have fallen into the monitor.
 ❖If the monitor has been exposed to rain 
or water.
 ❖If the monitor has been dropped or the 
cabinet damaged.
 ❖If the monitor does not operate normal-
ly by following operating instructions.
 ❖If glass is broken, handle with care.
 ❖If the monitor and its glass are broken, 
do not come in contact with the liquid 
crystal and handle with care.
Please pay heed to the following guide-
lines:
 ❖Allow adequate ventilation around the 
monitor so that heat can properly dissi-
pate. Do not block ventilated openings 
or place the monitor near a radiator or 
other heat sources. Do not put anything 
on top of monitor.
 ❖The power cable connector is the pri-
mary means of detaching the system 
from the power supply. The monitor 
should be installed close to a power 
outlet which is easily accessible.
 ❖Save packaging for transporting. When 
moving the monitor, handle with ex-
treme care. 
 ❖Please be aware that LCD Technology 
may experience a phenomenon known 
as Image Persistence.  Image Persis-
tence occurs when a residual impres-
sion or, “ghost”, of a previous image 
remains visible on the screen. Unlike 
CRT monitors,  image persistence is not 
permanent for LCD. However, constant 
images being displayed for a long pe-
riod of time should be avoided. To al-
leviate image persistence, turn off the 
monitor for as long as the previous im-
age was displayed. For example, if an 
image was left static for one hour, the 
monitor should be turned off for one 
hour to allow the impression to fade 
away.
 ❖When operating the LaCie 500 Series 
LCD Monitor with a 220-240V AC 
power source in Europe, use the power 
cord provided with the monitor.
 ❖In the UK, a BS approved power cord 
with a moulded plug has a Black (five 
Amps) fuse installed for use with this 
equipment.
 ❖If a power cord is not supplied with this 
equipment please contact your supplier.
 ❖When operating the LaCie 500 Se-
ries LCD Monitor with a 220-240V 
AC power source in Australia, use the 
power cord provided with the monitor. 
If a power cord is not supplied with this 
equipment please contact your supplier.
 ❖For all other cases, use a power cord 
that matches the AC voltage of the 
power outlet and has been approved by 
and complies with the safety standard of 
your particular country.
  
						

							LaCie 500 Series LCD Monitor Health and Ergonomic Precautions
User Manual page 5
Health and Ergonomic 
Precautions
Correct placement and adjustment of the 
monitor can reduce eye, shoulder, and 
neck fatigue. Check the following when 
you position the monitor:
 ❖For optimum performance, allow 20 
minutes for warm-up.
 ❖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 70 cm 
from your eyes. The optimal distance is 
50 cm.
 ❖Rest your eyes periodically by focus-
ing on an object at least 20 feet away. 
Blink often.
 ❖Position the monitor at a 90° angle to 
windows and other light sources to min-
imize 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 the LCD monitor surface with 
a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid 
using any cleaning solution or glass 
cleaner!
 ❖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 refer-
ence material) directly in front of you to 
minimize turning your head while you 
are typing.
 ❖Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the 
monitor for long periods of time to 
avoid image persistence (after-image 
effects or “ghosting”).
To maximize ergonomic benefits, LaCie recommends 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 color setting.
 ❖Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 
60-75 hz. 
 ❖Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is dif-
ficult to see and may produce strain the eyes toward insufficient 
contrast.

*Interpolated Resolutions: When resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel cou\
nt of the LCD 
module, text may appear different. This is normal and necessary for all current flat panel technologies 
when displaying non-native resolutions full screen. In flat panel tech\
nologies, each dot on the screen 
is actually one pixel, so to expand resolutions to full screen, an inter\
polation of the resolution must be 
performed.
  
						

							LaCie 500 Series LCD Monitor Introduction
User Manual page 8
1. Introduction to Your LaCie 500 Series LCD Monitor
Thank you for purchasing the LaCie 500 Series LCD Monitor. 
Designed for serious graphics professionals, this advanced line of 
LCD monitors features 12-bit gamma correction to meet the most 
stringent demands for color accuracy and control.
1.1. 500 Series LCD Monitor Features
 ❖Large 25.5’’ diagonal size and wide 16:10 format enhances productivity by reducing the need for scrolling through docu-
ments and switching windows. The wide aspect ratio allows full 1:1 scale display of two full pages with additional space for application 
palettes and toolbars.
 ❖High 1920x1200 resolution and HDCP Content Protection technology is ideal for high resolution graphics and video 
applications.
 ❖Wide-Gamut H-IPS POL panel technology offers an industry-leading 102% NTSC Gamut that allows the LaCie 500 se\
ries 
monitors to display a wide range of vibrant colors previously unattainab\
le by LCD monitors. When used in a color-managed environ-
ment, this offers the benefit of an even closer match between captured, displayed, and printed colors. This technology offers an excel-
lent balance between contrast (1000:1), brightness (320 cd/m2 typ.), and expansive viewing angles of 178°.
 ❖Improved uniformity: Each panel is individually tested at the factory and corrected to ensur\
e that brightness and chromaticity are 
uniform across the screen.
 ❖ColorKeeper Backlight Stabilizer: The LaCie 526 monitor has an embedded sensor that analyzes the brightnes\
s and chroma-
ticity of its backlight in real time. A feedback mechanism then uses thi\
s information to continuously adjust the backlight and panel to 
ensure stable monitor brightness and color.
 ❖12-bit Gamma Correction: The embedded Integrated Circuit enables a genuine hardware calibration o\
f the monitor. The 12-bit 
Gamma Correction tables (16 bits precision) allow an optimal display of color gradients.
 ❖Ergonomic stand enables height swivel tilt and pivot adjustments.
 ❖VESA-100 interface: The Monitor can be connected to any VESA 100 compatible attachment.
 ❖Portability handle and quick-release stand make your LaCie 500 Series Monitor easy to carry.
