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:

labelled products may also be obtained via the Internet,

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
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. 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'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.

- The TFT color LCD panel used in this monitor is

made with the application of high precision
technology. However, there may be minute
points on the screen where pixels never light or
are permanently lit. Also, if the screen is viewed
from an acute angle there may be uneven colors
or brightness. Please note that these are not
malfunctions but common phenomena of LCDs
and will not affect the performance of the
monitor.

- Do not display a still picture for a long time, as

this could cause an 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.

- When the power is turned off or the monitor

switches to the power-saving mode, the image
might remain or an uneven image might stay on
the screen for a few seconds. Please note that
this is not a malfunction but is with LCD displays.

DDC (Plug & Play)

This monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display
Data Channel) standard.
DDC is a signal standard for carrying out Plug &
Play functions on the monitor or PC. It transfers
information such as degree of resolution between
the monitor and PC. You can use this function if
your PC is DDC compliant and if it is set so that it
can detect the Plug & Play monitor.
There are many varieties of DDC due to the
differences between systems. This monitor works
with DDC1 and DDC2B.
