TCO’99 STATEMENT

Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled 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.

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for an international
environmental and quality labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint
effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The
Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB.

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, reduction of electric
and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling 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 the environmental labelling involve?

The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish
Society for Nature Conservation). These 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.

Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The
complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

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 colour-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 colour-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
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.

*

Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms

**

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

vertical direction.

(2) When the input display mode is not 1024 x 768, the image is smoothly expanded to

1024 x 768 dots with the scaling engine. After expansion from 640x350, 640x400,
640x480, 720x400 and 800x600 resolution, the text may look not so sharp, and the
Graphics may look not so proportional.

Non-XGA mode) - Which symptom is normal performance for scaling chip.
In case Beat Noise occurs, please press auto-adjustment key to minimize this
symptom, and fine tune with phase key manually.

Troubleshooting

This LCD Monitor has pre-adjusted using factory standard VGA timings. Due to the
output timing differences among various VGA cards in the market, users may initially
experience an unstable or unclear display whenever a new display mode or new VGA
card is selected.

ATTENTION

This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes.
Refer to the Standard T im ing Table for a listing of modes supported by this LCD Monitor.

PROBLEM Picture is unclear and unstable

If there’s no display on the LCD Monitor, please perform the following steps :

1. Enter PC to “Shut Down Windows” status while you’re in MS-Windows
environment.

2. Check the screen to see if there’s any black vertical stripes appear. If there are,
take advantage of the “Clock” function in OSD menu and adjust (by increment or
decrement numbers) until those bars disappear.

3. Move to “Phase” function in OSD menu again and adjust the monitor screen to its

22

most clear display.

4. Click “No” on “Shut Down Windows” and back to the normal PC operating
environment.

PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor

If there’s no picture on the LCD Monitor, please perform the following steps:

1. Make sure the power indicator on the LCD Monitor is ON, all connections
are secured, and the system is running on the correct timing. Refer to Chapter 3
for information on timing.

2. Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. Press the right
Function Select Control button once and then press either the left or right
Adjustment Control button several times. If there is still no picture, press the other
Adjustment Control button several times.

3. If step 2 doesn’t work, connect your PC system to another external CRT. If
your PC system Functions properly with a CRT Monitor but it does not function with
the LCD Monitor, the output timing of the VGA card may be out of the LCD’s
synchronous range. Please change to an alternative mode listed in the Standard
Timing Table or replace the VGA card, and then repeat steps 1 and 2.

PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor

If you have chosen an output timing that is outside of the LCD Monitor’s synchronous
range (Horizontal: 24 ~ 61 KHz and Vertical: 56 ~ 75 Hz), the OSD will display an “Out
of Range” message. Choose a mode that is supported by your LCD Monitor.

Also, if the signal cable is not connected to LCD monitor at all or properly, the monitor
screen will display a message “No Input Signal”.
