TCO95 Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO95 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 to the further development of environmentally-adapted electronic 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 electronic equipment are concerned is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it has not been possible so far for the majority of electronic 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 both the working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all types of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic- and climatic-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronic equipment in offices consumes as enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left running continuously. What does the environmenal labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO95 1 Regulatory Information cont. scheme, which provides for international environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturckyddsfreningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden), and SEMKO AB (an international certification agency). 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, among other things, restriction on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs

(freons), and chlorinated solvents. 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, along with physical and visual ergonomics and good usability. The following is a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

TCO95 is a co-operative project between:

NUTEK SEMKO Nrings- och teknikutvecklingsverket Naturskydds freningen Environmental requirements Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cabling, casings, and housings, and are added to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame-retardant substances. These are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, and are suspected of giving rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals. Flame retardants have been found in human blood, and researchers fear that they can disturb fetus development. Bio-accumulative1 TCO95 demands require that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound chlorine or bromine. Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solder, and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses causes lead poisoning. The relevant bio-

accumulative TCO95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead, as no replacement has yet been developed. 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 bio-accumulative TCO95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm

(parts per million) of cadmium. The color-generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium. Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant bio-accumulative TCO95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm of mercury and that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronic components concerned with the display unit. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacture of expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the atmosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultra-violet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma). The relevant TCO95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture of the product or its packaging. 1 Bio-accumulative means that the substance accumulates within living organisms. Shipping Package The packaging material can be recycled, or you can save it to return the monitor to a service center for repair or disposal. CFC Compounds in Distribution Packaging Cushioning material used for shipping finished monitors are not manufactured with nor do they contain any CFC compounds. Design for Disassembly/Recycling These monitors have been designed for easy end-of-life disassembly and recycling. Fasteners are generally of the same type for efficient disassembly. Components made of different materials can be easily separated and plastics have been identified using intermational symbols to aid in recycling. Monitor Disposal WARNING If you need to dispose of a monitor, ask a qualified service representative for the proper procedure. Improper disposal could result in personal injury from implosion. 2 Regulatory Information cont. TCO99 Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO99 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 TCO99 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.

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 TCO99 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 TCO99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-

generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium. Regulatory Information cont. Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO99 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. CFCs (freons) The relevant TCO99 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 TCO99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

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

Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the IBM HelpCenter. Use only an IBM authorized service provider who is approved to repair your particular product. Note: Some parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. These parts are referred to as Customer Replaceable Units, or CRUs. IBM expressly identifies CRUs as such, and provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for customers to replace those parts. You must closely follow all instructions when performing such replacements. Always make sure that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source before you attempt the replacement. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the IBM HelpCenter. Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer. Never wrap a power cord around the power adapter or other object. Doing so can stress the cord in ways that can cause the cord to fray, crack or crimp. This can present a safety hazard. Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects. Protect the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a short circuit, particularly if the cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also cause gradual corrosion of the power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on the adapter which can eventually result in overheating. Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure that all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles. Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins and/or shows signs of overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input or anywhere on the power adapter. Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs of corrosion or overheating or where the power cord appears to have been damaged in any way. Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies, and power strips that you use are rated to handle the electrical requirements of the product. Never overload these devices. If power strips are used, the load should not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for more information if you have questions about power loads, power requirements, and input ratings. If a receptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer equipment appears to be damaged or corroded, do not use the outlet until it is replaced by a qualified electrician. Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer to obtain a replacement. Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits only into a grounded electrical outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this safety feature by trying to insert it into a non-grounded outlet. If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an approved outlet adapter or to replace the outlet with one that enables this safety feature. Never overload an electrical outlet. The overall system load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult an electrician for more information if you have questions about power loads and branch circuit ratings. 3 Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible, and located close to the equipment. Do not fully extend power cords in a way that will stress the cords. Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully All IBM personal computers contain a non-rechargeable coin cell battery to provide power to the system clock. In addition many mobile products such as Thinkpad notebook PCs utilize a rechargeable battery pack to provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by IBM for use with your product have been tested for compatibility and should only be replaced with IBM approved parts. Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate batteries or short circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the battery to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery pack strictly according to instructions included in the product documentation. Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause gasses or flame to

&odq;vent&cdq; from the battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge from your battery or the buildup of foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain a replacement from the battery manufacturer. Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For some rechargeable batteries

(particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a battery unused in a discharged state could increase the risk of a battery short circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety hazard. Do not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or store these batteries in a discharged state. Computers generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging. Notebook PCs can generate a significant amount of heat due to their compact size. Always follow these basic precautions:

Do not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any part of your body for an extended period when the computer is functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computer produces some heat during normal operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort or, potentially, a skin burn. Do not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable materials or in explosive environments. Ventilation slots, fans and/or heat sinks are provided with the product for safety, comfort, and reliable operation. These features might inadvertently become blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, carpet, or other flexible surface. Never block, cover or disable these features. CD and DVD drives spin discs at a high speed. If a CD or DVD is cracked or otherwise physically damaged, it is possible for the disc to break apart or even shatter when the CD drive is in use. To protect against possible injury due to this situation, and to reduce the risk of damage to your machine, do the following:

Always store CD/DVD discs in their original packaging Always store CD/DVD discs out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat sources Remove CD/DVD discs from the computer when not in use Do not bend or flex CD/DVD discs, or force them into the computer or their packaging Check CD/DVD discs for cracks before each use. Do not use cracked or damaged discs 4 Setting up the monitor Product description I H S L G N E The IBM ThinkVision Monitor, L180p, is a TFT LCD Color Monitor.

When you first use your monitor, you must perform Auto Setup for analog input. If you are using digital input, continue with the instructions on page 9. This procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the monitor. In order to optimize the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the IBM Monitor CD. Operation of this utility is dependent on the operating system on your computer. You may choose to run Image setup for each operating system that you use. This means that if you sometimes use your monitor while running any version of Windows and sometimes also use it from within DOS (not a DOS window), you must run Image setup for both Windows and DOS. You may run versions of Image setup in any order. Before you begin Image setup for your computer, make sure the computer video mode is set in the range of the supported screen resolution shown in the table on page 22. You should perform Image setup for each screen mode you use.

Note : VESA timings are as detailed in the VESA Display Monitor Timing Specification. Version 1.0, Revision 0.8, Dated 09/17/98. 22 The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore, you should refer to your computer documentation for details on how to change display modes. The image size, position and shape may change when the display mode changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using Image setup and the monitor controls. Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker, TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your computer for 1280 x 1024 addressability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate. For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized during manufacture. Factory Set Display Modes Addressability Refresh Rate Horizontal Frequency 640 x 480 640 x 480 640 x 350 720 x 400 800 x 600 800 x 600 832 x 624 1024 x 768 1024 x 768 1152 x 870 1152 x 900 1280 x 1024 1280 x 1024 60 Hz 75 Hz 70 Hz 70 Hz 60 Hz 75 Hz 75 Hz 60 Hz 75 Hz 75 Hz 66 Hz 60 Hz 75 Hz 31.5 kHz 37.5 kHz 31.5 kHz 31.5 kHz 37.9 kHz 46.9 kHz 49.7 kHz 48.4 kHz 60.0 kHz 68.7 kHz 61.8 kHz 63.98 kHz 79.98 kHz Recommended D-sub Analog only Power management I H S L G N E To benefit from power management, the monitor must be used in conjunction with a computer that implements the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Power Management Signaling
