TCO’99  
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. With the growing  
manufacture and usage of electronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized  
concern for the materials and substances used by electronic products with regards to their  
eventual recycling and disposal. By proper selection of these materials and substances, the  
impact on the environment can be minimized.  
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. Electronic equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in  
unnecessary consumption of large amounts of energy and additional power generation.  
From the standpoint of carbon dioxide emissions alone, it is vital to save energy.  
What does labelling involve?  
The product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for  
international and environmental labelling of personal computers and/or displays. 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: ecology, ergonomics, emission of  
electrical and magnetical fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.  
Ecological criteria impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated  
and chlorinated flame retardants, and other substances. The product must be prepared for  
recycling and the manufacturing site(s) shall be certified according to ISO14001 or EMAS  
registered.  
Energy requirements include a demand that the system unit 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 system unit shall be reasonable for the user.  
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the  
3
User’s Manual  
reduction of electrical and magnetical fields as well as work load and visual ergonomics.  
Below you will find a brief summary of the ecological requirements met by this product. The  
complete ecological criteria document can be found at TCO Development’s website

Ecological requirements  
Flame retardants  
Flame retardants may be present in printed wiring board laminates, cables, and housings.  
Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% by weight of  
the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Many flame  
retardants contain bromine or chlorine, and these flame retardants are chemically related to  
PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chlorine  
and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to health effects, including reproductive damage  
in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes when not  
disposed of in accordance with strict standards for disposal.  
TCO’99 requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams shall not contain  
flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed  
in the printed wiring board laminates due to the lack of commercially available alternatives.  
Cadmium**  
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain  
computer displays. TCO’99 requires that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display  
screens, and the electrical or electronics components shall not contain any cadmium.  
Mercury**  
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. TCO’99 requires that  
batteries shall 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.  
Lead**  
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. TCO’99  
permits the use of lead due to the lack of commercially available alternatives, but in future  
requirements TCO Development aims at restricting the use of lead.  
_____________________________  
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate in living organisms.  
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.

PLUG AND PLAY  
Plug & Play DDC2B Feature  
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC  
STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending  
on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information about its display capabilities.  
The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request  
EDID information over the DDC2B channel.  
THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO VIDEO  
INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE  
MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.  
This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics Standards  
Association (VESA) and/or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and  
The Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK). This feature is designed to conserve  
electrical energy by reducing power consumption when there is no video-input signal  
present. When there is no video input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will  
automatically switch to an OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power supply  
consumption. After the video input signal is restored, full power is restored and the display  
is automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature except the  
display is completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or  
clicking the mouse.
