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 andto 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 the manufacturing. Since it has not been possible for the majority of electronics equipment to be recycled in
a satisfactory way, 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 conventional electricity generation have a negative
effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy.
Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount
of energy since they are often left running continuously.
What does labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for international and environmental labeling of personal computers. The requirements
cover a wide range of issues, including: environment,
ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and magnetic
fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety. The
environmental demands concern 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 plan 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
Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables,
wires, casings and housings. In turn, they delay the spread of
fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing
can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride and these are related to
another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fisheating birds and mammals, due to the
bioaccumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been
found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances
in fetus development may occur. Plastic components weighing
more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with
organically bound chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants are
allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are
available.
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.
TCO’99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no
replacement has yet been developed.

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.
TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the colourgenerating 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, Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in high
doses.
TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any Mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of
the electrical or electronics components associated with the display unit. CFCs (freons) 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 consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).
The relevant TCO’99 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacturing and assembly of the
product or its packaging.
*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.

PRECAUTIONS
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture. Dangerously high voltages are present inside
the monitor. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
• Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet
basement.
• Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a person and cause serious
damage to the appliance.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the
monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place the monitor on a
bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the monitor
in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Do not install the monitor in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sun-
light, or excessive dust or mechanical vibration or shock.
• The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only
into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug, have an electrician
install the correct outlet or ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
• Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect the monitor
from damage due to power surges.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquids on the monitor.
• Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself. Opening or removing covers can expose you to dangerous voltages and
other hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate configured recepta-
cles marked between 100 - 240V AC, Min. 5A.
• The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
• Operating temperature 0° - 35°C, 32° - 96°F, storage temperature -20° - 60°C, -4° - 140°F
• Operating humidity 10% to 85%
Caution!
The LaCie 119 Monitor's warranty may be void as a result of the failure to respect the precautions listed
above.
