Congratulations!
The display you have just purchased carries the TCO’03 Displays label. This means
that your display is designed, manufactured and tested according to some of the
strictest quality and environmental requirements in the world. This makes for a high
performance product, designed with the user in focus that also minimizes the impact on
our natural environment.
Some of the features of the TCO’03 Display requirements:
Ergonomics
Good visual ergonomics and image quality in order to improve the working environment for the user
and to reduce sight and strain problems. Important parameters are luminance, contrast, resolution,
reflectance, colour rendition and image stability.

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. With the growing manufacture and usage of
electronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the materials and
substances used by electronic products with regards to their eventual recycling and disposal. By proper
selection of these materials and substances, the impact on the environment can be minimized.
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. Electronic
equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary consumption of large
amounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint of carbon emissions alone,
it is vital to save energy.
What does labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which provides for international and
environmental 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,
emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

The requirements included in this label have been developed by TCO Development in co-operation
with scientists, experts, users as well as manufacturers all over the world. Since the end of the 1980s
TCO has been involved in influencing the development of IT equipment in a more user-friendly
direction. Our labeling system started with displays in 1992 and is now requested by users and IT-
manufacturers all over the world.

Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO’99 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.

APPENDIX
Environmental criteria impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and
chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, and other materials. 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.
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 as well as physical and visual ergonomics.
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 chlorine,
and those flame retardants are chemically related to PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing
bromine or chlorine and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to health effects, including reproductive
damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes when not disposed
of in accordance with strict standards for disposal.
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.
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.
_______________________________________________________________________________
*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.
6
Mercury**
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. 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 labeled 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.
CFCs (freons)
The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the
manufacture and assembly of the product or in its packaging. 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. This restriction assures that
further damage to the ozone layer form this type of equipment will be eliminated.
Lead**
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. The relevant TCO’99
requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.
_______________________________________________________________________________
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.

Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property damage.
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the IBM Support Center. 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 Support Center.
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.
4
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
"vent" 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

For digital input, image setup is not required.
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.

If your computer has
previously been used with
a CRT monitor and is currently
configured to a display mode
outside the range that the Flat
Panel monitor can display, you
may need to re-attach the CRT
monitor temporarily until you
have reconfigured the
computer, preferably to 1280 x
1024 at 60Hz.
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.

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
(DPMS) Standard.
The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes
that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period.
There are several states as described in the table below.
As an Energy Star 2000®Partner, IBM has determined that this product
meets the Energy Star 2000 guidelines for energy efficiency.
For optimal performance switch off your monitor at the end of each working
day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods during the
day.
