Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO’95 or 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.
This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95 or TCO’99 scheme which provides for an international
environmental and quality 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), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy
Administration) and SEMKO AB.
The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, reduction of electric and
magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

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.

English

What does the environmenal labelling involve?

The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society
for Nature Conservation). These 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.

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 * processes. Flame retardants have
been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur. The
relevant TCO´95 and TCO’99 demand require 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.
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.
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.
TCO’95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of mercury. The
relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury.
Both TCO´95 and TCO´99 also demand 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’95 and TCO’99 requirement state 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’95 and TCO´99 requirement permit 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.

Monitor care and repair

Monitor care

Always remove the plug from the AC outlet when
cleaning the monitor.

Cabinet and control panel section

Use a soft dry cloth to lightly wipe away any grime
from the cabinet and control panel.
If they are very dirty, apply neutral detergent to a
dampened soft cloth, wring it out well and wipe away
grime.

LCD panel section

Use a soft dry cloth to lightly wipe away dirt and dust
from the surface of the LCD panel. (A soft cloth such
as gauze or that used for lens cleaning is suitable.)

CAUTION!

- Never use thinner, benzine, alcohol, glass

cleaner, etc, as this could lead to color change or
change in shape.

- Never scratch the monitor with anything hard or
apply strong pressure as this could leave marks
or result in malfunction.

Storage

If the monitor will not be used for a long period of
time, be sure to remove the power plug from the AC
outlet.

CAUTION!

Do not leave the monitor in contact with rubber or
plastic items for long periods of time as this could
lead to color change or change in shape.

Troubleshooting

If you think the monitor may be faulty, please check
the following points before taking it to be repaired.
If afterwards it still does not work, please contact the
shop where you purchased the monitor or your
nearest Sharp authorized Service Center.

The monitor's florescent tubes have a limited life
span.

- If the screen darkens, persistently flickers or
does not light up, it may be necessary to
replace the florescent tube unit. Please
inquire at the shop where you purchased the
monitor or your nearest Sharp authorized
Service Center. (Never attempt this
replacement on your own.)

- In the initial period of use, due to the
characteristics of florescent tubes the screen
may flicker. (This is not a malfunction.)
Should this happen, check by first turning off
the power, then turning it on again.
