TCO'95 STATEMENT

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 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 TCO'95 scheme which provides for an international environmental and quality labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB.

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: 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 the environmental 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 lower 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 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 TCO'95 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 TCO'95 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 TCO'95 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 there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO'95 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 TCO'95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

Limited Warranty for USA Customers Only

Hitachi America, Ltd. warrants our Hitachi CRT color monitor to be free from defects in material and workmanship for 36 months from the date you purchased it if your purchase was made prior to 1/31/01 or 60 months if your purchase was made after 1/31/01 from your authorized Hitachi America, Ltd. dealer.

If you purchase a Hitachi Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) color monitor, Hitachi provides a warranty of 36 months for the panel and 12 months for the backlight if purchased before 1/31/01 or 36 months for both panel and backlight if purchased after 1/31/01. In the event of a defect during this 12 month, 36 month or 60 month period, Hitachi America, Ltd. will, at its option, repair or replace the monitor at no charge except as set forth below. If proof of purchase cannot be provided by owner, the warranty period will start to run from the date of manufacture.

Hitachi America, Ltd. may repair your monitor with new or reconditioned parts or replace it with a new or reconditioned monitor of the same or similar kind, and any replaced monitors or parts become Hitachi America, Ltd.'s property.

Exclusions from this warranty: It is normal for Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors and LCD display backlights to decrease in brightness as they age. This is a natural process in CRTs & LCDs due to the degradation of the LCD backlight and the degradation of the CRT phosphors that create the image and is not covered by this warranty. This warranty excludes decreased image clarity or reduced brightness due to natural aging of the monitor/display. In addition, this warranty does not cover phosphor burn. Phosphor burn can occur when a monitor is left with one static image for extended periods of time during which the image may become burned into the phosphors.

This limited warranty does not cover damage occurring in shipping or in storage after you purchase the monitor or damage caused by abuse, accident, disaster, misuse, mishandling, mispackaging or shipping, improper installation, unauthorized repair or modification, or failure to follow the manufacturer's instruction with respect to the proper handling, operation, installation, service and maintenance of the monitor.

To obtain warranty service, call 1-800-536-6721 to obtain a return authorization and the location of your Hitachi service center or return the monitor to the dealer from whom you bought it (subject to that dealers' return policy). If you choose to ship the monitor rather than delivering it in person, you must assume the risk of damage or loss in transit. You must also use the original shipping container (or equivalent packaging), pay shipping charges, and enclose a copy of the proof of purchase date with the monitor.
