TCO'95  
LH-18S01-BK  
Congratulations! You have just  
purchased a TCO'95 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 the manufacturing. Since it has  
not been possible for the majority of electronics 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 the viewpoints of both the  
work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods  
of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the  
environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive  
waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices  
consume an enormous amount of energy since they are often left running  
continuously.  
What does labelling involve?  
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme which  
provides for international and environmental labelling of personal  
CN912B-2/LCD1810X/78135322

computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the  
TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees),  
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation)  
and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical  
Development in Sweden).  
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 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 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, physical and  
visual ergonomics and good usability.  
On the back page of this folder, you will find a brief summary of the  
environmental requirements met by this product. The complete  
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

TCO'95 is a co-operative project between TCO (The Swedish  
Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen  
(The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The  
National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).  
Environmental Requirements  
Brominated flame retardants  
Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables,  
wires, casings and housings. In turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to  
thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame  
retardant substances. These are related to another group of environmental  
toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar harm, 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.  
TCO'95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than  
25 grams must not contain organically bound chlorine and bromine.  
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.  
TCO'95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement  
has yet been developed.  
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.  
TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25  
ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The colour-generating layers of  
display screens must not contain any cadmium.  
CN912B-2/LCD1810X/78135322  
9
00.5.26, 0:03 PM  
Mercury**  
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury  
damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.  
TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25  
ppm (parts per million) of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is  
present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned  
with the display unit. 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.  
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms  
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumul  
CFCs (freons)  
CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards  
and in the manufacturing of expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break  
down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere,  
causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light with consequent  
increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).  
The relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be  
used during the manufacturing of the product or its packaging.

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

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.

the monitor near a radiator or other heat sources. Do not put  
anything on top of monitor.  
Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor  
near water.  
Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they  
may touch dangerous voltage points, which can be harmful or  
fatal or may cause electric shock, fire or equipment failure.  
Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to  
the cord may cause shock or fire.  
Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or  
table, as the monitor may fall, causing serious damage to the  
monitor.  
The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching  
the system from the power supply. The monitor should be  
installed close to a power outlet that is easily accessible.  
When operating the MultiSync LCD monitor with its AC100-  
120V power supply, use a power supply cord that matches the  
power supply voltage of the AC power outlet being used. The  
power supply cord you use must have been approved by and  
comply with the safety standards of your country.

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR  
CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK  
THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:  
For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.  
Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or  
slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly down-  
ward when viewing the middle of the screen.  
Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm and no further away  
than 70 cm from your eyes. The optimal distance is 53 cm for  
the MultiSync LCD1810X monitor.  
Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 6  
m away. Blink often.  
Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light  
sources to minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor  
tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.  
If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use  
an anti-glare filter.  
Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive  
cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solution or glass cleaner!  
Adjust the monitors brightness and contrast controls to enhance  
readability.  
Use a document holder placed close to the screen.  
Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen  
or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turn-  
ing your head while you are typing.  
Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods  
of time to avoid image persistence (after-image effects).  
Get regular eye checkups.

Connection to your Personal Computer  
The MultiSync LCD1810X true colour monitor complements PC  
compatible computers. Your system has one of two configurations:  
the video controller is built into the computer.  
the video controller is in the form of a display card (sometimes  
referred to as graphics card, video adapter or graphics board).  
Both configurations have a video connector (or a CRT PORT on laptop  
computers). If you are not sure which connector is the video connector,  
refer to your computer or display card manual.  
To attach the MultiSync LCD1810X monitor to your system,  
follow these instructions:  
1. Turn off the power of your computer.  
2. For the PC with DVI digital output: Connect the DVI-D to  
DVI-D signal cable to the connector of the display card in your  
system (Figure A.1). Tighten all screws.  
For the PC with DFP digital output: Connect DVI to DFP  
Adapter to the computer (Figure A.2).  
Attach DVI-D to DVI-D cable to the DVI to DFP Adapter.  
Tighten all screws.  
For the PC with Analog output: Connect the 15-pin mini D-  
SUB to DVI signal cable to the connector of the display card  
in your system (Figure A.3).  
To connect a secondary PC with analog output, connect the  
15-pin mini D-SUB to 15-pin mini D-SUB signal cable (not  
include) to the connector of the display card in your system.

*1 Interpolated Resolutions: when resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel  
count of the LCD module, text may appear choppy or lines may appear to be bold.  
This is normal and necessary for all current flat panel technologies, each dot on the  
screen is actually one pixel, so to expand resolutions to full screen, an interpolation  
of the resolution must be done. When the interpolated resolutions is not an exact  
multiple of the native resolution, the mathematical interpolation necessary may cause  
some lines to appear thicker than others.  
*2 NEC cites recommended resolutions at 60 Hz for optimal display performance. The  
number of colors that can be displayed at frequencies above 70 Hz decreases.  
*3 The number of colors that can be displayed decreases.

Image persistence  
Image persistence is when a ghostof an image  
remains on the screen even after the monitor has been  
turned off. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’  
image persistence is not permanent. To alleviate  
image persistence, turn the monitor off for as long as  
an image was displayed. If an image was on the  
monitor for one hour and a ghostof that image  
remains, the monitor should be turned off for one  
hour to erase the image.  
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC  
recommends using a screen saver at regular intervals  
whenever the screen is idle.
