If me monitor detects a new Video mode that has not been present before or is not one of the preset modes. it stores the new mode automatically in one of the empty modes starting with mode 13. If you use up the 25 blank modes and still have more new video modes, the monitor replaces the information in the user modes starting with mode 13, Recalling Display Modes . When your monitor detects a mode it has seen before, it automatically recalls the image settings you may have made the last time you used that mode. Vou may. however. manually force a recall of each of the 12 preset modes by pressing the Recall button. All preset modes are automatically recalled as the monitor senses the incomrng signal. The ability to recall the preset modes is dependent on the signal coming from your PC's video card or system, If this signal does not match any of the factory modes. the monitor automatically sets itself to display the image.

Environmental Labelling of Personal Computers You havejust purchased a TCO’99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professonal use. Vour purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the enVironment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products, This product meets the requirements for the TCO‘99 scheme which provides for an international environmental and quality labelling of personal computers The labelling scheme was developed as ajoint effort by the TCO (l he Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees). Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB. The requirements cover a wide range of issues: envtronmentv ergonomics. usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety. In many countries, environmental labelling has become an esoablished 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 d'ieir manufacture, Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the IT‘lGJOrIly 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 fintemal) 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 ofien left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy. Appendix Environmental Labelling of Personal Computers What does the The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska environmenal labelling Naturskyddsforeningen [The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), . These demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy "wave? 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, Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by mis product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from: TCO Development SE—1 14 94 Slockholm, Sweden Fax: MG 3 732 92 07 Email (Internet): development@too,se Current information regarding TCO'99 approved and labelled products may also be obtained via the Intemet, using the address: hflpJ/wwwtoo—intocoml Environmental Flame retardants requirements 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 fisheating 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, Appendix Environmental Labelling of Personal Computers Cadmium" ” Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colourgenerating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO‘QQ 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, CECs (freons) The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs [lreonsl 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 T0099 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.
