AB general requirements  
AB2 Written Eco-document acompanying the products  
Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO95 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 env ironment and to the further development of 
environmentally-adapted electronic products. 
Why do we have environmentally-labelled monitors?  
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 monitors 
and other electronic equipment are concerned is that environmentally harmful substances are 
used both in the products and during their manu facture. Since it has not been possible so far 
for the majority of electronic  equipment to be recycled in a sa tisfactory way, most of these 
potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter Nature. 
 
European Notice(Europe Only)
 
Products with the CE marking  comply with the EMC Directive(89/336/EEC), (92/31/EEC), 
(93/68/EEC) and the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) issued by the Commission of the 
European Community. Compliance with these directives implies conformity to the following 
European Norms:  
zEN55022:1998+A1:2000 - Radio Frequency Interference  
zEN55024:1998 - Electromagnetic Immunity  
zEN61000-3-2:1995+A1/A2:1998 - Power Line Harmonics  
zEN61000-3-3:1995 - Voltage Fluctuations  
 
						

							There are also other characteristics of a monitor, such as energy consumption levels, that are 
important from both the working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all types 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. Electronic 
equipment in offices consumes an enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left 
running continuously. 
What does labelling involve? 
This product meets the requirements for the TCO95 scheme, which provides for international 
environmental labelling of monitors. 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 among other things restrictions on the presence and use 
of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons), and chlorinated 
solvents. 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 conducts 
its operations policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the monitor 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 monitor 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, along with physical and visual ergonomics and good 
usability.

Environmental Requirements 
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 fish eating 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. 
zTCO95 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.  
zTCO95 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. 
zTCO95 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. 
zTCO95 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).  
zThe relevant TCO95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the 
manufacturing of the product or its packaging.

Congratulations! 
You have just purchased a TCO99 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. 
 
This product meets the requirements for the TCO99 scheme which provides for an 
international environmental and quality labelling 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), 
Statens Energimyndighet(The Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB. 
 
The requirements cover a wide range of issuse: environment, ergonomics, usability, reduction 
of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety. 
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 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 all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. 
acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. 
Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of 
energy. 
What does labelling involve? 
The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The 
Swedish Society for Nature Conservation). These demands impose restrictions on the 
presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs(freons)

Environmental requirements 
Flame retardants 
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. 
Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a 
computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain 
bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of 
environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the 
PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, 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. 
 
The relevant TCO99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams 
must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants 
are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.  
 
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. The 
relevant TCO99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating 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. It damages the nervous system 
and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO99 requirement states that batteries may 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 today 
there is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a 
Mercury free alternative is available. 
 
CFCs (freons) 
The relevant TCO99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the 
manufacture and assembly of the product. 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 e.g. increased risks 
of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence. 
 
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. The relevant TCO99 requirement 
permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

							PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free) 
 
LCD Monitors and TVs may have image retention when switching from one image to another 
especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time.  
This guide is to demonstrate correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from Image 
retention.  
What is Image retention ? 
During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention doesnt occur. However, 
if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight difference in electric charge 
accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liquid crystal. This may 
cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus, the previous 
image is retained when switching to a new video image. All display products, including 
LCD,are subject to image retention. This is not a product defect.  
Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retention  
Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode
Ex) 
zTurn the power off when using a stationary pattern. 
zUse a Screen saver if possible 
zSet the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme.  
 - Turn the power off for 4 hours after 24 hours in use 
- Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use  
- Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended.  
Suggestions for specific applications 
Ex) Airports, Transit Stations, Stock Markets, Banks, and Controlling Systems  
We recommend that you follow set up of your display system program as below: 
 
 
Display Information together with Logo or Moving image cycle. 
Ex) Cycle : Display Information for 1 hour followed by a  
Display Logo or moving image for 1 minute.  
 
Change the Color Information periodically (Use 2 different colors). 
Ex) Rotate the Color Information with 2 colors every 30 minutes.  
 
Avoid using a combination of characters and background color with large 
difference in luminance. 
Avoid using Grey colors, which can cause Image retention easily.  
 
zAvoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey)  
Ex)  
 
 
zRecommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance  
- Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes  
Ex) 
 
 
- Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement.  
Ex)
 
						

							The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC or 
S
ystem to operate a Screen Saver program when you are not using it.
Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated under normal conditions. 
 
Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns. When the LCD 
panel is operated for a long time with a fixed pattern (-over 12 hours-), there may be 
slight difference in voltage between electrodes that work the liquid crystal (LC) in a 
pixel. The voltage difference between electrodes increases with time, forcing the liquid 
crystal to lean. When this occurs, the previous image may be seen when the pattern is 
changed.  
To prevent this, the accumulated voltage difference must be decreased. 
 
Our LCD Monitor satisfies ISO13406-2 Pixel fault Class II
