TCO Information

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. With the growing manufacture and
usage of electronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the
materials and substances used by electronic products with regards to their eventual recycling
and disposal. By proper selection of these materials and substances, the impact on the
environment can be minimized.

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.
Electronic equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary
consumption of large amounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint
of carbon dioxide emissions alone, it is vital to save energy.

What does labelling involve?

The product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international
and environmental labelling of personal computers and/or displays. 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: ecology, ergonomics, emission of
electrical and magnetical fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

Ecological criteria impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated
and chlorinated flame retardants, and other substances. The product must be prepared for
recycling and the manufacturing site(s) shall be certified according to ISO14001 or EMAS
registered.

Energy requirements include a demand that the system unit 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 system unit shall be reasonable for the user.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the
reduction of electrical and magnetical fields as well as work load and visual ergonomics.

Ecological requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants may be present in printed wiring board laminates, cables, and housings. Their
purpose is to prevent or, at least, delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the weight of the plastic
in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Many flame retardants contain
bromine or chlorine, and these flame retardants are chemically related to PCBs
(polychlorinated biphenyls). Flame retardants containing bromine or chlorine and the PCBs
are suspected of giving rise to health effects, including reproductive damage in fisheating birds
and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes when these are not disposed of in
accordance with the strict standards for disposal.

TCO’99 requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams shall not contain flame
retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the
printed wiring board laminates due to the lack of commercially available alternatives, except
for two types of brominated flame retardants (PBB and PBDE), which are not allowed in the
product at all.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain
computer displays.
TCO’99 requires that the product including batteries shall not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. TCO’99 requires that the
product including batteries shall not contain any mercury. There is, however, one exception.
Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as
there is currently no commercially available alternative. TCO aims to remove this exception
when a mercury free alternative is available.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. TCO’99 requires
that the product including batteries shall not contain any lead.

Hexavalent chromium**

Hexavalent chromium is sometimes used as surface treatment. TCO’99 requires that the
product shall not contain any hexavalent chromium.

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

Compliance Information

For U.S.A.

This device complies with part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warning: You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

For Canada

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

CE Conformity for European Countries

The device complies with the requirements of the EEC directive 89/336/EEC as
amended by 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC Art.5 with regard to "Electromagnetic
