CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR

CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE

FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

• For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for

warm-up.

• Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the

screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes

should look slightly downward when viewing the

middle of the screen.

•

Position your monitor no closer than 16 inches

and no further away than 26 inches from your

eyes. The optimal distance is 19 inches.

• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an

object at least 20 feet away. Blink often.

• Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to

minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do

not reflect on your screen.

• If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.

• Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using

any cleaning solution or glass cleaner!

• Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.

• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

• Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or

reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head

while you are typing.

• Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid

image persistence (after-image effects).

• Get regular eye checkups.

Ergonomics

To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:

•

Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals

Use the preset Color Setting

Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60-75Hz

Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and

may produce eye fatigue to insufficient contrast

TCO’95

MultiSync LCD1720M Black Model (LA-17S02-BK)

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’95 approved and

labeled 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 encourag-

ing 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 the manufacturing. Since it has not been

possible for the majority of electronics equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, 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 conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the

environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to

conserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of energy

since they are often left running continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95 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),

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 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 plan 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.

TCO’95 is a co-operative project between 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).

Environmental Requirements

Brominated flame retardants

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

TCO’95

–continued

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.

TCO’95 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.

TCO’95 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.

TCO’95requirementstatesthatbatteriesmaynotcontainmorethan25ppm(partspermillion)

of cadmium. The colour generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays, switches, and back-light systems, Mercury

damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

TCO’95requirementstatesthatbatteriesmaynotcontainmorethan25ppm(partspermillion)

of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics

components concerned with the display unit, except the back-light system.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs(freons)aresometimesusedforwashingprintedcircuitboardsandinthemanufacturing

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).

The relevant TCO’95 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the

manufacturing of the product or its packaging.

*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.

**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
