Environmental requirements  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
What does labelling involve?  
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99  
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).  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental  
requirements met by this product. The complete  
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:  
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which  
accumulate within living organisms.  
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which  
are Bio-accumulative.

Instructions for attaching a VESA-compliant arm  
An arm or stand based on the VESA standard  
(commercially available) can be attached to the  
monitor. Procurement of the arm or stand is at the  
customer's discretion.  
Notes:  
- The stand is specially made for use with this  
monitor. Once having removed the stand, never  
attempt to attach it to another device.  
- Once having removed the screws, store them  
together with the stand and if the stand is ever  
re-attached be sure to use the original screws.  
Using different screws could lead to a malfunction.  
Arms or stands able to be used  
Attachments must satisfy the following.  
- Compatible with the VESA standard.  
- Have a gap of 100 mm x 100 mm between the  
screw holes on the section to be attached.  
- Not be likely to fall off or break off after being  
attached to the monitor.  
CAUTION!  
Do not disassemble the stand. Parts may  
spring out and cause injury.  
CAUTION!  
How to attach the arm or stand  
Store the stand of the LL-171G in its most  
extended position.  
When the stand is stored in a contracted  
state, the lock may accidentally release  
and the stand may abruptly extend,  
causing injury.  
- Be careful not to over bend the cable or add  
extension cords as this could lead to malfunction.  
- While following these instructions, please also  
refer to the installation instructions in the  
operation manual included with the arm or stand.  
CAUTION!  
5. Attach the arm to the monitor with the four screws.  
- Be careful not to get your fingers pinched  
between the display and stand nor to let the  
stand drop. These could lead to injury.  
1. Remove the cables.  
2. Spread out a soft cloth on a suitable horizontal  
surface.  
3. Being careful not to damage the monitor, gently  
lay the monitor on it display-side down.  
- For the LL-171G, extend the stand as long as  
possible and lock it before positioning the  
monitor. (p.11)  
4. Remove the four screws and then remove the  
stand from the monitor.  
Note:  
- The screws used to attach the arm should be M4  
screws with a length of 4 - 5 mm protruding from  
the surface to be attached. Using different  
screws could cause the monitor to fall off or to be  
internally damaged.
