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 is developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The

Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), by Svenska
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation),
and by 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.

environmental requirements met by this product. The complete

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
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.

processes. Flame retardants have

Cadmium

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.

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 labeled unit.

*

Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living

organisms

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.

**

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

Operation Instructions

Thank you for purchasing this monitor, a high-resolution multi-scan color
monitor.

Please read this guide thoroughly before installation.

FCC RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS)

This monitor has been tested and found compliant with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide proper protection against harmful interference to a
residential installation. This monitor generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy. Harmful interference to radio communication may be led
as a result if it‘s not properly installed and used. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
monitor does cause serious interference to radio or television reception,
resetting the monitor may determine it. Moreover, users are encouraged to
correct interference by doing one or more of the following:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Move the monitor and the receiver further away from each other.
 Connect the monitor into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

 Consult your local dealer or an qualified technician

FCC Warning:

To assure a continued FCC compliance, a user must use a grounded
power supply cord and the provided shielded video interface cable with
bonded ferrite cores. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications to
this monitor would void the user‘s authority to operate this device.

Note: If necessary, shielded interface cables and AC power cord must be
used to meet the emission level limits.
