Safety Instruction
Caution:
When operating the JC-1575VMB/JC-1746UMB with a 220-240V AC
power source in Europe except UK, use the power cord provided with
the monitor.
In UK, a BS approved power cord with moulded plug has a Black (five
Amps) fuse installed for use with this equipment. If a power cord is not
supplied with this equipment please contact your supplier.
When operating the JC-1575VMR/JC-1746UMR with a 220-240V AC
power source in Australia, use the power cord provided with the

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 contri-
buted to reducing the burden on
the environment and also, to the
further development of environ-
mentally 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 labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95 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),
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. These are related to another group of
environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar
harm, including reproductive damage in fisheating 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
colourgenerating 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**
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.

Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the MultiSync E500/E700 colour
Monitor!
The MultiSync E500/E700 monitor includes the CROMACLEAR CRT,
Microsoft’s Plug and Play, NEC’s ErgoDesign properties, the On
Screen Manager (OSM), as well as all the unique features you expect
from MultiSync Monitors.
The MultiSync technology provides you with automatic compatibility
with multiple operating platforms and a vast array of graphics standards
allowing resolution upgrades without upgrading the monitor.
The MultiSync E500/E700 monitor strictly follows ErgoDesign
guidelines featuring enhanced human ergonomics (human and earth
condition). The goal of ErgoDesign is to maximise the comfort and
productivity of the end user. ErgoDesign parallels the strict European
standards of power management and reduced emissions. In addition our
monitor is designed to be recyclable.
CROMACLEAR CRT Technology
The MultiSync E500/E700 monitor features NEC’s exclusive
CROMACLEAR CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), the latest advancement in
display technology. This technology, patented by NEC, delivers images
with more clarity than found in traditional dot-trio CRTs. Unlike the
conventional shadow mask with phosphor dots, CROMACLEAR CRT
has ellipse-shaped phosphors. Screen images have higher definition,
color saturation and more depth and dimension.
The CROMACLEAR CRT has Dynamic Beam Focus which provides
precise and continuous focus adjustment of the electron beams.
Dynamic beam focus provides optimum image quality, even to the far
edges of the screen. You will notice a significant difference in the focus
and clarity of the image for realistic text, graphics and video.
The OptiClear Surface of the E500/E700 CRT dramatically reduces the
reflection of ambient illumination and glare resulting in greatly improved
user comfort and productivity. This multilayered screen coating increases
the contrast without sacrificing the focus level, clarity or brightness.
