• Electrical safety

Emissions

• Electromagnetic fields

• Noise emissions

Ecology

• The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer must have a certified
environmental management system such as EMAS or ISO 14 001

• Restrictions on
o chlorinated and brominated flame retardants and polymers
o heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury and lead.

The requirements included in this label have been developed by TCO Development in cooperation
with scientists, experts, users as well as manufacturers all over the world. Since the end of the
1980s TCO has been involved in influencing the development of IT equipment in a more user­friendly direction. Our labelling system started with displays in 1992 and is now requested by users

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.

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 labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international and environmental
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) and 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.
Labelled 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.
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
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

ENGLISH

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 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.

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.

SCREEN ADJUSTMENTS

Adjust the image by following the procedure below to get the desired picture when selecting Analog input.

 The screen adjustments described in this manual are designed to set image position and minimize

flicker or blur for the particular computer in use.

 The monitor is designed to provide the best performance at resolution of 1024 × 768, but can not

provide the best at resolutions of less than 1024 × 768 because the picture is automatically stretched
to fit the full screen. It is recommended to operate at resolution of 1024 × 768 in normal use.

 Displayed text or lines will be blurred or irregular in thickness when the picture is stretched due to

the screen enlargement process.

 It is preferable to adjust the image position and frequency with the monitor controls, rather than the

computer software or utilities.

 Perform adjustments after a warm-up period of at least thirty minutes.

 Additional adjustments may be required after the Auto Set-up depending on the resolution or signal

timing.

 The Auto Set-up may not work correctly when displaying the picture other than the screen

adjustment pattern. In this case, manual adjustments are required.

There are two ways to adjust the screen. One way is automatic adjustment for Clock, Phase and
Position. The other way is performing each adjustment manually.
Perform the Auto Set-up first when the monitor is connected to a new computer, or resolution is
changed. If the screen has a flicker or blur, or the picture does not fit in the display area after
performing the Auto Set-up, manual adjustments are required. Both adjustments should be made by
using the screen adjustment patterns in the Adjustment Program on the Information CD.

This manual explains adjustment under Windows 95/98/2000/Me/XP.

Start “Adjustment Program” in the Information CD.

NOTE  When the left side of the picture frame moves away from the left edge of the display

area during the Clock adjustment, adjust Clock and H-Position alternately.

 Another way to make the Clock adjustment is to correct the vertical wavy lines in the

zebra pattern.

 The picture may flicker during the Clock, V-Position and H-Position adjustment.
 In case the picture frame is bigger or smaller than the data display area after the Clock

adjustment, repeat steps from C.

 In the case that a strong flicker or blurs remain on a part of the screen, repeat the

adjustments from E to readjust the Clock. If the flicker or blurs still remain then set the
refresh rate to 60Hz and repeat the adjustments from step C.

 Adjust the H-Position after the Phase adjustment if the horizontal position moves

during the adjustment.

POWER MANAGEMENT FEATURE

The power management feature of this product complies with every power saving requirement of
ENERGY STAR

®

and VESA DPMS. When activated, it automatically reduces unnecessary power
consumption of the monitor when your computer is not in use.
To use the feature, the monitor needs to be connected to a VESA DPMS compliant computer. There
is a power management step the monitor takes as described below. The power management function,
including any timer settings is configured by the operating system. Check your operating system
manual for information on how this can be configured.

Power Management Mode



When the H-sync signal / V-sync signal / H and V sync signals from the computer are off, the
monitor enters into Power Management Mode which reduces the power consumption to less than
2W. The screen becomes dark, and the power indicator turns to orange. From Power Management
Mode, the image reappears in several seconds when either the keyboard or the mouse are
touched again.
