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. 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?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environmental 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) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental 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.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

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'99 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'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. The relevant TCO'99 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'99 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'99 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.

Cabinet and control panel section

Use a soft dry cloth to lightly wipe away any grime from the cabinet and control panel.

If they are very dirty, apply neutral detergent to a dampened soft cloth, wring it out well and wipe away grime.

LCD panel section

Use a soft dry cloth to lightly wipe away dirt and dust from the surface of the LCD panel. (A soft cloth such as gauze or that used for lens cleaning is suitable.)

CAUTION!

• Never use thinner, benzine, alcohol, glass cleaner, etc, as this could lead to color change or change in shape.
• Never scratch the monitor with anything hard or apply strong pressure as this could leave marks or result in malfunction.

Storage

If the monitor will not be used for a long period of time, be sure to remove the power plug from the AC outlet.

CAUTION!

Do not leave the monitor in contact with rubber or plastic items for long periods of time as this could lead to color change or change in shape.

Troubleshooting

If you think the monitor may be faulty, please check the following points before taking it to be repaired. If afterwards it still does not work, please contact the shop where you purchased the monitor or your nearest Sharp authorized Service Center.

The monitor's fluorescent tubes have a limited life span.

• If the screen darkens, persistently flickers or does not light up, it may be necessary to replace the fluorescent tube unit. Please inquire at the shop where you purchased the monitor or your nearest Sharp authorized Service Center. (Never attempt this replacement on your own.)
  In the initial period of use, due to the characteristics of fluorescent tubes the screen may flicker. (This is not a malfunction.) Should this happen, check by first turning off the power, then turning it on again.

DDC (Plug & Play)

This monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel) standard.

DDC is a signal standard for carrying out Plug & Play functions on the monitor or PC. It transfers information such as degree of resolution between the monitor and PC. You can use this function if your PC is DDC compliant and if it is set so that it can detect the Plug & Play monitor.

There are many varieties of DDC due to the differences between systems. This monitor works with DDC1 and DDC2B.

Instructions for attaching a VESA compliant arm

An arm or stand based on the VESA standard (purchased separately) can be attached to the monitor.

Procurement of the arm or stand is at the customer's discretion.

Arms or stands able to be used

Attachments must satisfy the following.

Compatible with the VESA standard
- Have a gap of at least 100 ~mm × 100 ~mm between the screw holes on the section to be attached
- Not be likely to fall off or break off after being attached to the monitor.

How to attach the arm or stand

Note:

• While following these instructions, please also refer to the installation instructions in the operation manual included with the arm or stand
• Spread out a soft cloth on a suitable horizontal surface.
