TCO’99
Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’99
approved and labeled 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 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).
00Cover_all.p65 22.02.2001, 14:12 Uhr4

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.
Environmental Requirements
Flame retardants
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. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride and these
are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are
suspected to give rise to severe health effects, including reproductive
damage in fisheating birds and mammals, due to the bioaccumulative*
processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and
researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.
TCO’ 99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than
25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound
chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit
boards since no substitutes are available.
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’ 99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement
has yet been developed.
00Cover_all.p65 22.02.2001, 14:12 Uhr5

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’ 99 requirement states that batteries, the colourgenerating 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, Mercury
damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.
TCO’ 99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any Mercury.
It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or
electronics components associated with the display unit.
CFCs (freons)
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 consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).
The relevant TCO’ 99 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be
used during the manufacturing and assembly 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.

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous shock hazards or
other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
•Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.
•Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch danger-
ous voltage points, which can be harmful or fatal or may cause electric shock, fire
or equipment failure.
•Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may
cause shock or fire.
•Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the
monitor may fall, causing serious damage to the monitor.
•Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric motors and other
devices such as external speakers or fans, which may create strong magnetic
fields.
•If possible, position the monitor so that it is facing the east to minimize the effects
of the earth’s magnetic field.
•Changing the direction of the monitor while it is powered on may cause image
discolouration. To correct this, turn the monitor off for 20 minutes before powering
it back on.
•When operating the MultiSync FP1355 with its AC 220-240V worldwide power
supply, use a power supply cord that matches the power supply voltage of the AC
power outlet being used. The power supply cord you use must have been ap-
proved by and comply with the safety standards of your country. (Type H05VV-F
should be used except in UK)
•In UK, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a black (5A) fuse
installed for use with this monitor. If a power cord is not supplied with this monitor,
please contact your supplier.
Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
•When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
•If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the monitor.
•If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.
•If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
•If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.
01b_english 22.02.2001, 14:12 Uhr9

English-10
•Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can
properly dissipate. Do not block ventilated openings or place the
monitor near a radiator or other heat sources. Do not put anything
on top of monitor.
•The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the
system from the power supply. The monitor should be installed
close to a power outlet which is easily accessible.
•Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for
transporting.
CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR
CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK
THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:
•Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is
at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look
slightly downward when viewing the middle of the
screen.
•Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm and no
further away than 70 cm from your eyes. The optimal
distance is 60 cm.
•Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at
least 6 m away. Blink often.
•Position the monitor at a 90°angle to windows and other light sources to
minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not
reflect on your screen.
•If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.
•Clean your monitor regularly. Use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and a non-
alcohol, neutral, non-abrasive cleaning solution or glass cleaner to minimize dust.
•Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.
•Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
•Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference
material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head while you are
typing.
•Get regular eye checkups.
Ergonomics
To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:
•Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears
•Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting
•Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals
•Use the preset Colour Setting and Sides Left/Right controls
•Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 75-160Hz
•Do not use primary colour blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and
may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient contrast
