					Safety Guidelines   
					Power Requirements   
					Refer to the “Power Cord Set Requirements” section in “Agency Regulatory Notice,” for   
					information on the correct power cord set for this device.   
					Important Safety Information   
					WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable the   
					power cord grounding feature. This equipment is designed to be connected to a grounded   
					(earthed) power outlet that is easily accessible to the operator. The grounding plug is an important   
					safety feature.   
					Å 
					WARNING: For your safety, be sure that the power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily   
					accessible and located as close to the equipment as possible. When you need to disconnect the   
					power to the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by grasping the plug firmly.   
					Never pull on the cord.   
					Å 
					CAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your computer, connect all power cords   
					for your computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, scanner) to some form of   
					surge protection device such as a power strip or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Not all   
					power strips provide surge protection; the power strips must be specifically labeled as having this   
					ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement Policy so you can   
					replace your equipment if surge protection fails.   
					Ä 
					Maintenance Guidelines   
					To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor, follow these guidelines:   
					✎ Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. If your   
					monitor is not operating properly, or has been dropped or damaged, first unplug your   
					monitor from the power outlet, then contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or   
					service provider.   
					✎ Adjust only those controls that are discussed in the operating instructions.   
					✎ Place your monitor at least 3 inches (76 mm) away from walls or other enclosures.   
					✎ Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on the   
					label/back plate of the monitor.   
					Reference Guide   
					2–1   
				Safety and Maintenance Guidelines   
					✎ Be sure the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed   
					the current rating of the electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products   
					connected to the cord does not exceed the rating of the cord. Look on the power label to   
					determine the ampere rating (AMPS or A) for each device.   
					✎ Install your monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by   
					grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by   
					pulling the cord.   
					✎ Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life of your   
					monitor by using a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.   
					✎ Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or   
					aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. If the screen requires additional   
					cleaning, use an antistatic CRT screen cleaner.   
					CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other volatile substances to clean your   
					monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the screen.   
					Ä 
					✎ Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not   
					be blocked or covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other   
					openings.   
					✎ Do not place plants on top of your monitor. Water or dirt from the plant may get into the   
					vents.   
					✎ Do not drop your monitor or place it on an unstable surface.   
					✎ Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.   
					✎ Keep your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat or moisture.   
					Keep your monitor away from high-capacity transformers, electric motors, and other   
					devices with strong magnetic fields.   
					✎ In a two-monitor system, place your monitors as far apart from one another as possible to   
					lessen interference between them.   
					✎ Do not place the monitor face down. Damage could result to the front panel controls or   
					the monitor screen.

					TCO‘99 Requirements   
					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 (for example, 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 obligated to   
					have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company   
					implements its operational policy.   
					Reference Guide   
					D–1   
				TCO‘99 Requirements   
					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 bioaccumulative 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.   
					Bioaccumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living   
					organisms.

					Cadmium   
					Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-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 color-generating layers of display   
					screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.   
					Cadmium is a heavy metal that is Bioaccumulative.

				TCO‘99 Requirements   
					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.   
					Mercury is a heavy metal that is Bioaccumulative.   
					✎ 
					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.   
					Lead is a heavy metal that is Bioaccumulative.
