Precautions
Installation
l Do not cover or block the ventilation ports on the rear of the monitor.
l Do not install the monitor close to heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a
location exposed to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
Power connection
l Use the correct power cord for your local voltage.
l Use an accessible outlet close tothe monitor.
l Do not allowanything to rest on the power cable.
l Disconnect the power cable from the power supply if:
Ø You will not use the monitor for an extended period.
Ø The cable is damaged or frayed.
Ø The monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
Ø A distinct change in performance indicates a need for servicing.
Using the Tilt
l Use the monitor’s tilt capability to adjust its vertical orientation to an appropriate
position. Grasp the top corners of the monitor with both hands and tilt to the desired
angle.
For use only with power supply Lien,LE-9702B and Chi Sam , CH-1024

Maintenance
l Clean the cabinet and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any abrasive materials or solvents such as alcohol or
benzene.
l Do not rub,touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such as
pens or screwdrivers, as the screen may scratch.
l Do not insert objects or spill liquids into the ventilation ports on the monitor’s rear, as
fire, electric shock, and/or unit failure may result.

TCO'95
Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO'95 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 the manufacturing. Since it has not been possible for the majority of electronics
equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, 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 conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic
and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronics
equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of energy since they are often left running
continuously.
What does labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme that 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), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish
Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical
Development in Sweden).
The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of
electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.
The environmental demands concern 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 plan
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.
On the back page of this folder, you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met
by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

TCO’95 is a co-operative project between TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees),
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The National Board
for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).
Environmental requirements
Brominated flame retardants
Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings.
In turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist
of flame retardant substances. There are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs which
are suspected to give rise to similar harm, 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.
TCO'95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain
organically bound chlorine and bromine.
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. TCO’95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead
since no replacement has yet been developed.
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.
Mercury**1
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury 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. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or
electronics components concerned with the display unit.
CFCs (freons)
CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing of
expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the
stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks
of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).
The relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacturing of
the product or its packaging.
*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.

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
