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:

TCO Development

SE-114 94 Stockholm, Sweden

Fax: +46 8 782 92 07

Email (Internet): [email protected]

Current information regarding TCO'99 approved and

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.

Tips and safety precautions

- 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 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.

- 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 may 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.

- Use only the power cord supplied with the

monitor.

- Insert the power plug directly into the AC outlet.

Adding an extension cord may lead to fire as a

result of overheating.

up information (described below), the ICC

profile is also installed. If you would like to
