Safety Instructions: Dell™ W1700 LCD TV User's Guide
Caution: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result
in exposure to shock, electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your LCD TV:"
To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure that the voltage selection switch on the power supply for the computer is
set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location:
115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as Japan,
South Korea (also 220 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz)), and Taiwan.
230 volts (V)/50 hertz (Hz) in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
Always be sure that your LCD TV is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.
Note: This LCD TV does not need or have a voltage selection switch for setting the AC voltage according to the
ranges defined in the Electrical for PC section in the Specifications page.
Never insert anything metallic into the LCD TV openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the LCD TV. Only a qualified technician should open the LCD TV case.
Never use your LCD TV if the power cable has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Keep the
power cable away from where people could trip over it.
Be sure to grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the LCD TV from an electric socket.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding- type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding type plug
has two blades and third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult
an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Openings in the LCD TV cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked
or covered. Avoid using the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface, as doing so may block the ventilation
openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you place the LCD TV in a bookcase or an enclosed space, be sure to provide
adequate ventilation and air flow.
Place your LCD TV in a location with low humidity and minimum dust. Avoid places similar to a damp basement or dusty
hallway.
Do not expose the LCD TV to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, next to swimming pools, etc.). If the LCD TV accidentally
gets wet, unplug it and contact Dell immediately. You can clean the LCD TV with a damp cloth when necessary, being sure
to unplug the LCD TV first.
Place the LCD TV on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or
hit sharply. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table capable to adequately support your LCD TV. When a cart is
used, use caution when moving the cart/ LCD TV combination to avoid injury from tip- over. Contact Dell for mounting
accessories.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Locate your LCD TV near an easily accessible electric outlet.
If your LCD TV does not operate normally - in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it - unplug it
immediately and contact Dell.
Do not attempt to remove the back cover, as you will be exposed to an electrical shock hazard. The back cover should only
be removed by qualified service personnel.
High temperatures can cause problems. Don't use your LCD TV in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves,
fireplaces, and other sources of heat.
Unplug your LCD TV from the electric outlet before any service is performed.
Damage Requiring Service- The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain;or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance;or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged. Tilt/Stability-All televisions must comply
with recommended international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinets design.
Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to the front, or top of the cabinet which could
ultimately overturn the product.
Do not place electronic equipment/toys on the top of the set. As such items could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set
and cause product damage and/or personal injury.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting -The LCD TV should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
Power Lines-An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding -If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric
Code. ANSI/NFPA No.70 -1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mats and supporting structure
grounding of the lead-in wire to and antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
Refer to limited warranty section of your user guide for service of your LCD TV. Servicing is required when the LCD TV has
been damaged in any way, such as power -supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
LCD TV the LCD TV has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to
Article 820 -40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system fo the building, as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.

Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labeled 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 labeled computers ?
In many countries, environmental labeling 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 labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labeling of
personal computers. The labeling 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.
Labeled 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

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
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.

damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the colourgenerating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.
Mercury
**
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. There is however one exception. Mercury
is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available
alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.
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
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.
