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. 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 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.

d to electrical shock or fire.

Repair, Modification, Disassembly

DO NOT attempt to repair, modify or disassemble the product. This may result in fire or electrical shock.

Air vents

The air vents are to prevent the internal temperature from rising. To not place

items on or so that they block the air vents. Also do not place in racks where the air vents will be blocked. This will cause the internal temperature to rise and result in fire or malfunction.

Do place on racks that fix the display in leaning position. This will change the flow

of air through the air vents and cause the internal temperature to rise resulting in fire or malfunction.

Placing Objects in Device

DO NOT put paper clips, pins, metallic objects or combustible items in the ventilation holes. Using the device in this condition may result in electrical shock or fire.

Removing the Case Cover

DO NOT remove the case cover. There are many high voltage parts inside and are very dangerous.

Placing Objects on th e D e vice

DO NOT put flower vases, planters, vessels containing water, pins and paper clips or other metal items on the device. If anything should fall in, using the product in this condition may result in electrical shock.

Handling of the power cord

Use the power cord supplied with the product and be careful of the following during use. If handled improperly, the cord may be damaged resulting in electrical shock or fire.

Never place objects on it.

DO NOT pull

DO NOT apply pressure

DO NOT fold

DO NOT wrap

DO NOT use next to heating device

Plugging and Unplugging

When plugging or unplugging the power cord in the socket, make sure to hold the

plug. Pulling on the power cord may cause a partial breakage resulting in fire. When taking a holiday or vacation and leaving the device unused for prolonged

periods, unplug the power cord. Leaving it plugged in may result in fire. When unplugging or plugging in the power cord, insure that your hands are dry.

Handling with wet hands may result in electrical shock.

ENGLISH

Poor Electrical Contact in Electric Plug, etc.

The following must be done to prevent bad contact in the electrical plug that may result in fire.

Insure that electric plug is inserted in fully.

Check to see if there is no dust accumulated on the plug before plugging in.

DO NOT use a socket that is loose or wobbles.

Impact from Dropping

To not drop, bang or subject to physical shock. Using after such incidents may result in electrical shock or fire.

Power Usage

The usable voltage is 100-120V / 200-240VAC. DO NOT use any other voltage. This may result in electrical shock or fire.
