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

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

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

*

Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living

organisms

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.

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.

Recycling Information

We, the HannStar Display Corp. care very much about our environment
protection strategy and firmly believe that it helps us have healthier earth via
appropriate treatment and recycling of industrial technology devices at the
end-of-life.These devices contain recyclable materials, which can be
redecomposed and re-integrated into brand-new marvels. On the contrary,
other material can be classified to hazardous and poisoned substances. We
strongly encourage you to contact the provided information to recycle this
product.

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.
