Samsung Syncmaster 783df Quick Start Guide

							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. 
 
TCO99-Ecological requirements for personal computers (TCO99 applied model only)
 
 
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 Na ture 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, su ch 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 energ y. 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)and chlorinated solvents, among other 
things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an 
environmental policy 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 lowe r level in one or more stages. The length of time to 
reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user. 
 
Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental  requirements met by this product. The complete 
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental requirements  
Flame retardants  
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boar ds, 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 re tardants 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-eatin g 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-generati ng 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 elec trical 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 (freon s) 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 wi th 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. 
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms. 
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.

Natural Color Software Program
 
 
One of the recent problems in using a computer is that the color of the images printed out by a 
printer or other images scanned by a scanner or a digital camera are not the same as those 
shown on the monitor.  
The Natural Color S/W is the very solution for this problem. It is a color administration system 
developed by Samsung Electronics in association with Korea Electronics & Telecommunications 
Research Institute (ETRI). This system is available only for Samsung monitors and makes the 
color of the images on the monitor the same as the printed or scanned images.  
For more information, refer to Help (F1) in the software program.  
How to install the Natural Color software  
Insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM Drive. Then, the initial 
screen of the program installation will be executed. Click Natural Color on the initial screen to 
install the Natural Color software. To install the program manually, insert the CD included with 
the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM Drive, click the [Start] button of Windows and then 
select [Execute].  
Enter D:\color\eng\setup.exe and then press the key.  
(If the drive where the CD is inserted is not D:\, enter the applicable drive.) 
How to delete the Natural Color software program  
Select [Setting]/[Control Panel] on the [Star t] menu and then double-click [add/Delete a 
program]. 
Select Natural Color from the list and then click the [add/Delete] button.
