 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
 Use the correct power cord for your local voltage.
 Use an accessible outlet close to the monitor.
 Do not allow anything to reston the power cable.
 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 hasbeen dropped or the cabinet damaged.
Ø A distinct change in performance indicates a need for servicing.
Using theTilt
 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. This monitor’s tilt angle is within 0°~20°

3
Maintenance
 Clean the cabinet, glass, and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent, such as alcohol or benzene.
 Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items
such as a pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched glass.
 Do not insert sharp objects or spill liquid into the monitor through ventilation
holes. They may cause accident fire, electric shock or failure.
 Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers
may expose you todangerous voltage potentialsor other risks.

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:
