* As an ENERGY STAR Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. This product utilizes tin-lead solder, and fluorescent lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronics Industries Alliance:www.eiae.org

What does the environmenal 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:

English 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.

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’95 or 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. This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95 or TCO’99 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 Naturskyddsforeningen (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.

LL-T1520-B LL-T1620-B TCO Development SE-114 94 Stockholm, Sweden Fax: +46 8 782 92 07 Email (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO’99 approved and labelled products may also be obtained via the Internet, using the address: http://www.tco-info.com/ 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 and TCO’99 demand require 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. TCO’95 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. The relevant TCO’99 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. TCO’95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of mercury. The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. Both TCO´95 and TCO´99 also demand 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 and TCO’99 requirement state 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 and TCO´99 requirement permit 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.

Opening the Adjustment Pattern (for Windows) This explanation is for Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP, and assumes that the floppy disk drive is "A drive". - If you are using the Floppy disk other than [Drive A],read [Drive A] or [A:] in replacing them with the drive name in use currently. 1. Place the Utility Disk (provided) into the computer’s A drive. 2. Open [My Computer] and select [3 ½ Floppy [A:]]. If using Windows 3.1, open [File Manager] and choose "A drive". 3. Double click on [Adj_uty.exe] to run the Adjustment Program. The Adjustment Pattern will appear. Adjustment pattern

Notes: - In most cases automatic adjustment is sufficient. - It may not be possible to achieve correct adjustment with the first automatic adjustment. In such a case, try repeating automatic adjustment 2 or 3 times. - If necessary due to any of the following, manual adjustments (p. 19) can be performed after the automatic adjustment. - When further fine adjustment is needed. - When the computer’s video input signals are Composite Sync or Sync On Green. (Automatic adjustments may not be possible.) - When [OUT OF ADJUST] is displayed. (When the screen displays an entirely dark image, the automatic screen adjustment may be disabled. When making an automatic adjustment, be sure to either use the Adjustment Pattern or try displaying an image that makes the entire screen very bright.) - Automatic adjustment may not be achieved correctly depending on what is displayed on the screen - moving pictures or the MS-DOS prompt etc.

After completing the adjustments, press the computer’s [Esc] key to exit the Adjustment Program. Notes: - If your computer’s display mode is set to 65K colors, you may see the different color levels in each color pattern or the gray scale may look colored. (This is due to the specification of the input signal and is not a malfunction.)
