TCO'95

LH-18S01-BK

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 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 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 labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme which
provides for international and environmental labelling of personal

CN912B-2/LCD1810X/78135322 00.5.26, 0:03 PM7

computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the
TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees),
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation)
and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical
Development in Sweden).

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: 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.

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.

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

TCO'95 is a co-operative project between TCO (The Swedish
Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen
(The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The
National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).

Environmental Requirements

Brominated flame retardants

Brominated 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. These are related to another group of environmental
toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar harm, 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 foetus development may
occur.

TCO'95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than
25 grams must not contain organically bound chlorine and bromine.

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'95 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'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25
ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The colour-generating layers of
display screens must not contain any cadmium.

CN912B-2/LCD1810X/78135322 00.5.26, 0:03 PM9

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury
damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25
ppm (parts per million) of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is
present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned
with the display unit. 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.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumul

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards
and in the manufacturing of expanded foam for packaging. 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'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be
used during the manufacturing of the product or its packaging.

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 colour­generating 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 poisoning.

The relevant TCO´99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since
no replacement has yet been developed.

compatible computers. Your system has one of two configurations:

– the video controller is built into the computer.
– the video controller is in the form of a display card (sometimes

referred to as graphics card, video adapter or graphics board).

Both configurations have a video connector (or a CRT PORT on laptop
computers). If you are not sure which connector is the video connector,
refer to your computer or display card manual.

To attach the MultiSync LCD1810X monitor to your system,
follow these instructions:

1. Turn off the power of your computer.

2. For the PC with DVI digital output: Connect the DVI-D to

are connected.

NONE

The monitor will not switch the video inputs automatically,
only by user control.

FIRST DETECT

The video input has to be switched to “FIRST DETECT”
mode. When current video input signal is not present,
then the monitor searches for a video signal from the other
video input port. If the video signal is present in the other
port, then the monitor switches the video source input
port to the new found video source automatically. The
monitor will not look for other video signals while the
current video source is present.

The video input has to be switched to the “LAST DE­TECT” mode. When the monitor is displaying a signal
from the current source and a new secondary source is
supplied to the monitor, then the monitor will automati­cally switch to the new video source. When current video
input signal is not present, then the monitor searches for
a video signal from the other video input port. If the video
signal is present in the other port, then the monitor
switches the video source input port to the new found
video source automatically.
