Demagnetize
External magnetic fields may cause distortion or discoloration in the picture. Degauss-
ing, which takes place automatically when the monitor is switched on, normally
maintains faultless color purity.
If the purity deteriorates during use, for example when the monitor’s position is
changed, perform demagnetizing.
During the degaussing process the picture is distorted for a few seconds. When the
process is completed, any color impurities will disappear caused by stray magnetic
fields.
The efficiency of the demagnetization decreases if repeated at intervals shorter than 15
minutes.

Using Your Monitor
Minimizing Eye Strain
To avoid screen flicker and minimize eye strain, use the highest supported image
refresh rate for the chosen resolution. It is recommended that you use a refresh rate of
85 Hz. The image refresh rate is the number of times per second that the image is
refreshed.
Minimizing Energy Consumption
If your computer supports VESA monitor power management (available on many HP
computers), you can minimize the power consumed by the monitor.
There are two power saving modes:
•
•
Suspend mode 1 (uses less than 10 W).
Active off mode 2 (uses less than 3 W). In this mode, the monitor’s front panel
indicator light blinks slowly in green.
To set these power saving modes, refer to the manual that came with your computer.
If your screen is not displaying an image, check the front panel indicator light first —
your monitor may be in a power saving mode.
What Video Modes are Supported
Your monitor comes with the standard modes shown in the table below. It also
supports intermediate video modes. With the intermediate modes, the displayed image
may need to be optimized using the buttons on the front panel. All modes are non-
interlaced. Your monitor is GTF* compatible.

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 labeled computers?
In many countries, environmental labeling 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 labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international and environ-
mental labeling of personal computers. The labeling 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.
Labeled 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.
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.
