Congratulations!

You hav e just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has pro vided 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 en vironmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method f or encour aging 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 satisf actorily 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 negativ e eff ect on the en vironment (e .g. acidic and climate-influencing
emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to sa ve energy . Electronics equipment in offices is often left running
continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does labelling inv olve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which pro vides for international and
environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was de veloped 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 cov er 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 f or 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-accumulativ e* processes . Flame
retardants have been f ound in human b lood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus dev elopment
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 allow ed in the
printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available .

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating lay ers 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. There is howev er one exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light
system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially av ailable alternative. TCO aims on removing
this exception when a mercury free alternative is availab le.

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, displa y 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 dev eloped.

*

Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms

**

Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.

Tips and safety precautions

• Under certain display conditions, minute specks
or spots may be noticeable. This is common for
liquid crystal monitors and is not a malfunction.

• The LCD panel has been manufactured using
highly elaborate technology. Properly working
pixels comprise 99.99% of total pixels. However,
please understand that 0.01% or less of pixels
may be missing or be brighter than usual.

• Do not leave the screen displaying idly for long
periods of time, as this could cause afterimage to
remain.

• If the brightness is adjusted to the minimum
setting it may be difficult to see the screen.

• The quality of the computer signal may influence
the quality of the display. We recommend using a
computer able to emit high quality video signals.

• Never rub or tap the monitor with hard objects.

• Please understand that Sharp Corporation bears
no responsibility for errors made during use by
the customer or a third party, nor for any other
malfunctions or damage to this product arising
during use, except where indemnity liability is
recognized under law.

• This monitor and its accessories may be
upgraded without advance notice.

Location

• Do not use the monitor where ventilation is poor ,
where there is a lot of dust, where humidity is
high, or where the monitor may come into contact
with oil or steam, as this could lead to fire.

• Ensure that the monitor does not come into
contact with water or other fluids. Ensure that no
objects such as paper clips or pins enter the
monitor as this could lead to fire or electric
shock.

• Do not place the monitor on top of unstable
objects or in unsafe places. Do not allow the
monitor to come into contact with strong shocks
or vibrations. Causing the monitor to fall or topple
over ma y damage it.

• Do not use in places where the monitor will be
subject to direct sunlight, near heating equipment
or anywhere else where there is likelihood of high
temperature, as this may lead to generation of
excessive heat and outbreak of fire.

The Power Cord

• Do not damage the power cord nor place heavy
objects on it, stretch it or overly bend it. Also, do
not add extension cords. Damage to the cord
may result in fire or electric shock.

• Insert the power plug directly into the AC outlet.
Adding an extension cord may lead to fire as a
result of overheating.

Monitor and accessory checklist

• Please check that the following items are
included in the package.

• LCD monitor (1)

• USB cable (1)

• Monitor Settings Adjustment Disk for
Windows (1)

• Operation manual (1)

Notes:
