TCO’95 STATEMENT

Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO'95 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided
you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase h a s a l s o 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’95 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 env ironm entally la belled comput ers?

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. acidi c and climate-influ encing e mi s s i o n s , r a d io a c t ive waste), it is vita l t o
save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby
consumes a lot of energy.

What does the environmenal labelling invol v e?

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.

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 b i r d s and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative
have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus
development may occur.

The relevant TCO’95 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’95 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display
screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

*

processes. Flame retardants

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous
system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO’95 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’95 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´95
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.

Turning the Display On and Off

Use the power button located at the lower right side of the front panel of the display to turn
the display on and off. When the display is on, the light (LED) near the Power button is
illuminated. The light is green when both the display and PC are active and amber when
the display is in a reduced power mode.

If your PC supplies power saving signals to the display, the display’s power management
features reduce power consumption to low levels when your PC goes into its
power-saving mode. See “Minimizing Power Consumption” on page 20 for more
information.

If your PC doesn’t use industry standard power-save signaling techniques, you can
reduce power consumption by turning off the display when it won’t be used for an
extended period. You can turn the display off even if you leave your PC in running.

Note: Because of the technology used in LCD panels, screen savers will not

prolong the life of your display. So if the display will not be used for an
extended period, be sure to turn it off.

Warning

18

To completely disconnect power from your display, you must remove
the power cord from the wall outlet and then remove the power cable
from the display.

Tilting the Display

The monitors have a tilt feature that allows you to tilt the display back and forth as well as
left and right to find the most comfortable viewing position. To tilt the display, grasp the
sides and push the display back or pull it toward you, or turn it left or right until it is in the
desired position. The display can be tilted 20º backward and 5º forward or 60º left and 60º
right.

ENGLISH

Note: Do not tilt the display by grasping the top edge.

Setting the Video Mode

Since the inherent format of this display is 1024 pixels by 768 lines, the display will
perform best when your PC is set to a screen resolution of 1024 x 768. If you use a lower
resolution (such as 640 x 480), the image is expanded to fill the screen

Your display supports many common video modes, as shown in “Video Modes” on page

31. Check the documentation supplied with your PC and video adapter card to find out

which modes they support.
To see what the video mode in your Microsoft Windows, please check Windows’ settings

in your PC.

Setting the Refresh Rate

The image refresh rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed; it is
also known as the vertical frequency.

On standard CRT displays, we recommend that you should use the highest possible
refresh rate supported by your PC at the current screen resolution. This is necessary to
avoid screen flickering and to minimize eyestrain. However , with your LCD Monitor , flicker
is not an issue. It is flick-free at all supported refresh rates.

19

The table in “Video Mode” on page 31shows the image refresh rates supported by the
display at different screen resolution. Although your LCD monitor supports up to 75 Hz for
analog video input, we recommend that you use 60 Hz refresh rate for best performance.

ENGLISH

To set the refresh rate with a standard Windows installation, follow the steps mentioned in
your Windows’s or graphic card’s user’s manual.

Minimizing Power Consumption

Many PCs support industry standard power-save signaling techniques. Power
management features reduce the display’s power consumption after a period of keyboard
inactivity.

When the display is in a power-saving mode, the screen is blank and the power indicator
is amber. Pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse restores the image in
several seconds. Consult your PC documentation for information about setting the
power-saving modes.

The display accepts the signals for the three standard power-saving modes – Standby,
Suspend, and Sleep. For any of these conditions, the display will go into Sleep mode.

Caring for and Cleaning the Display

To maximize screen life and prevent damage to the LCD panel, we recommend that you:

Ö Use the display power management system (if available on your PC).
Ö If you don’t use a power management system, turn off the display when you won’t be

using it for an extended period.

Ö Don’t press, rub, or poke the display with your finger or other object.
Ö Handle your display with care.

Your LCD module is a high-quality optical device that requires special care when
cleaning.

Warning

Don’t use liquid, aerosol, or abrasive cleaning solutions to
clean the screen.

To clean the screen:

1. Shut down the PC.

2. Turn off and unplug the display.

3. Gently dust the screen with a dry, soft, line-free cloth.

Note: If the screen is still dirty, you can dampen the cloth with several drops of

distilled water. Make sure the LCD panel is completely dry before you turn
the display back on.

4. Plug in the display.

5. Turn on your PC and display.

Unknown Video Modes

Like all other monitors, the your LCD monitor is designed to work with standard video
modes. However, not all video/graphic cards use only standard display modes.

Your LCD monitor uses state-of-the-art technology, which is designed to synchronize to
any display mode. We recommend choosing one of the supported modes listed above. If
you choose an unknown mode, you will need to manually adjust the clock, phase, and
image position.

If you must use an unknown mode, you can run Auto Setup at first. If Auto Setup doesn’t
provide adequate image adjustment, then you must manually adjust the clock, phase,
horizontal position, and vertical position.
