2 IMAGING ADJUSTMENT  
- Screen menu -  
E
All of the icons shown in the ScreenManager 'Screen' menu are described  
below.  
Allow the monitor to stabilize for at least 30 minutes before making  
image adjustments.  
Brightness, Contrast, Size, Position  
These functions are used to adjust the brightness, contrast, size and position  
of the screen. For more information about how to adjust each of them,  
please refer to the 'Quick Setup Guide', page 8.  
Geometry,Tilt, Bright Uniformity  
Image distortion, tilting and/or the imbalance of brightness over the entire  
screen may be caused by the Earth's magnetic field. Use the 'Screen' menus  
geometry (Side-Pincushion, Side-Pin Balance,  
Trapezoi-  
dal, Parallelogram) adjustment function to correct any geometric distor-  
tion.  
The tilt adjustment function adjusts both the image tilting and the bright  
uniformity (the balance of brightness over the entire screen). For informa-  
tion about how to adjust them, please refer to the  
shooting on page 33.  
Trouble-  
Image distortion, tilting and/or the imbalance of brightness may also be  
caused by any device that generates a magnetic field. If the above  
adjustments are not effective, try the following approaches.  
Check to see if there are any nearby interfering electronic devices such  
as another monitor, an electric motor, or a speaker (other than an  
optional EIZO i·Sound speaker unit). If so, move the device or move  
the monitor.  
It is sometimes possible to correct distortion, tilting or the imbalance of  
brightness by reorienting the monitor.

Convergence  
Displayed characters and images may appear fuzzy or have tinges of red,  
green, or blue if the electron beams do not converge correctly. These can be  
adjusted by the convergence adjustment feature in the ScreenManager.  
What is convergence?  
Convergence is the monitors ability to precisely illuminate specific  
phosphors and line them up properly in order to produce pure color.  
In order to properly adjust convergence, it is best to have an image that  
makes it easy to see any convergence error. A black background with  
white letters or lines is the best. This could be a DOS text mode or an  
image created with a “paint” program.  
When adjusting convergence, look at the adjustment across the whole  
screen. When adjusting horizontal convergence, look at the left and right  
edges of vertical lines or characters. When adjusting vertical  
convergence, look at the top and bottom edges of horizontal lines or  
characters. Proper adjustment is when the effect of red and blue tinges are  
minimized.  
The convergence adjustment adjusts the entire screen. It is not  
possible to limit adjustment to specific screen areas.  
Moiré Reduction  
What is moiré?  
Moiré refers to an interference pattern of dark wavy lines on the screen.  
It is not a defect, but rather an interference phenomenon caused by the  
relationship between the phosphor layout and the imaging signal. Moiré  
is often an indication of a good focus level. Moiré is particularly  
noticeable when using a light-gray or every-other-dot pattern back-  
ground. Although moiré can not be eliminated, it can be reduced with  
the moiré reduction feature.  
(Moiré)  
(Every-other-dot pattern)  
2
IMAGING ADJUSTMENT  
10  
Moiré can be reduced in a variety of ways.  
E
1) Adjust with the ScreenManagers moiré reduction function.  
Adjust so that moiré becomes almost unnoticeable. Before adjusting, set  
the desktop to an every-other-dot pattern (see picture, page 10) so that  
moiré will be visible. Following the adjustment, change to a different  
desktop background to reduce moiré even further.  
2) Change the horizontal and vertical dimensions.  
Adjust the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the display area as  
necessary to reduce moiré.  
3) Change the selected desktop or wallpaper pattern.  
Use the PC software to change the desktop or wallpaper pattern. Any  
solid color pattern is recommended. For detailed information on how to  
change these patterns, refer to the documentation for the PC and  
operating system.  
The screen image may shake slightly while the ScreenManager  
moiré reduction function is ON. Switching the function OFF will  
improve image stability and clarity at the expense of slightly greater  
moiré.

3 COLOR ADJUSTMENT  
- Color menu -  
Outline  
EIZO monitors have incorporated two color adjustment mode, standard  
and custom. The “Standard” mode allows the adjustment of the color  
spectrum. The “Custom” mode allows extensive controls over the colors of  
the displayed image on the screen.  
All adjustments for either mode can be made quickly and easily through the  
ScreenManager 'Color' Menu - offering a tool to create customized color  
environment.  
Please find the details of the color mode adjustment capabilities below:  
Contents  
Standard mode  
Application  
For routine work and  
printing.  
Sets color temperature.  
Temperature can be set from 4000K to  
10000K, in 500K increments. (Additionally,  
industry standard of 9300K is set as default.)  
Custom mode  
For use when high  
precision color  
Sets color temperature.  
adjustment is necessary  
(i.e. when there is a need  
to obtain identical colors  
on multiple monitors* or  
match the display color  
with printout color**.)  
Allows for specific adjustments to Red,  
Green and Blue (R/G/B). This consists of  
the Cutoff and Gain functions.  
* The color adjustment spectrum may vary between monitors.  
** A color calibrator can be used for even higher-precision color  
adjustment.  
Each monitor is slightly different, if two monitors are set to the same  
color temperature value (i.e. 6500K), they may not necessarily look  
the same.

COLOR ADJUSTMENT  
12  
Adjusting the Standard mode  
E
Users should allow at least 30 minutes for the monitor to stabilize  
before setting the color adjustments or color matching.  
Procedure  
1) Go to the 'Color' menu.  
2) Select the Standard mode” setting from the 'Color mode' menu.  
3) Select the 'Temperature' icon. A color temperature bar will appear.  
4) Adjust the temperature by using the right or left Arrow keys.  
5) Press the ENTER key to save the data.  
What is color temperature?  
Color temperature is a method to measure the white color tone,  
generally indicated in degrees Kelvin. At high temperatures the white  
tone appears somewhat blue, while at lower temperatures it appears  
somewhat red. Computer monitors generally give best performance at  
high temperature settings.  
5000K: Slightly reddish white. Often used in printing industry.  
6500K: Warm-white tone, similar to white paper or daylight. This  
temperature is good for video-image display.  
9300K: Slightly bluish white. This is the default setting for your  
EIZO monitor.

COLOR ADJUSTMENT  
13  
Adjusting the Custom mode  
Cutoff and Gain adjustments  
Monitors use red, green and blue (R, G, and B) to convey color  
information. They use an additive method to combine different  
amounts of the primary colors to produce a desired color. In other  
words, monitors start with no light (black) and add percentages of red,  
green and blue to make colors. White is usually produced by adding the  
same amount of all three colors, where black is usually produced by  
adding no color.  
However, colors are not only determined by the balance but also the  
intensities of R, G, and B (how bright they are) which we call Gain, and  
the saturation of R, G and B (how vivid or dull they are) which we call  
Cutoff.  
Users should allow at least 30 minutes for the monitor to stabilize  
before setting the color adjustments or color matching.  
Before you attempt to change the colors, always start with the color  
settings set to the "default settings" by using the 'Reset' function in  
the ScreenManager 'Others' menu.  
If only a quick setting is required, that is close to the desired color,  
but not exact, skip making any changes to the Cutoff adjustment  
(step 4). If a precise match is desired, adjustment of the Cutoff  
levels must be made. We recommend that for exact matching, use a  
color calibrator.  
Procedure  
1) For optimum results, before beginning the custom color adjustment,  
go to the 'Screen' menu and set the display to maximum brightness  
and contrast. (Use the 'Screen' menus 'Brightness' and 'Contrast'  
icons.)  
2) Then, return to the 'Color' menu and select the 'Custom mode'  
setting.  
3) Set the color temperature.

a) Select the 'Temperature' icon from the sub menu.  
b) Select the temperature as desired by moving the arrow keys in  
any direction.  
E
4) Adjust the Cutoff  
Cutoff  
The Cutoff adjustment is the most powerful adjustment. It alters  
the starting point (the black level) and the ending point (the white  
level). If the Cutoff level for color is raised or lowered, black,  
white, and all levels between are raised or lowered by the same  
degree.  
Before adjusting the Cutoff, it is best to display a screen with a black  
background (such as the DOS command screen).  
a) Select 'Cutoff' icon. The screen shown on the left will appear.  
b) Adjust each color until you can create a uniform black screen.  
5) Adjust the Gain  
Gain  
The Gain adjustment has no effect on the starting point (the black  
level). It changes only the ending point (the white level). The Gain  
adjustment is used to fine tune the whites and light grays to a good  
balance.  
Before adjusting the Gain, it is best to display a screen image that has  
a white or grayscale background, such as the operating window for  
Windows.  
a) Select 'Gain' icon. The screen shown on the left will appear.  
b) Adjust each color until you can create a uniform white screen.  
6) To register the adjustment, select the " Save" icon and then press the  
ENTER key. If the settings are not saved, all adjustments will be lost.  
7) Finally, readjust the contrast in the 'Screen' menu to get the best  
image clarity.  
If an inappropriate adjustment is made, corrections can be made by  
repeating the above procedure starting from Step 3 (temperature  
setting).  
The values shown in percentages (%) for both the Cutoff and Gain  
adjustments represent the current level within the specific adjust-  
ment only. They are available only as a reference tool. (To create a  
uniform white or black screen, the percentages for each will probably  
not be the same.)  
3
COLOR ADJUSTMENT  
15  
These diagram explains how the color curves were changed for the  
best adjustment in steps 4 and 5.  
Adjust the white level so  
that the high end of the  
curve for each color  
(R,G,B) is equal as see  
picture 3.  
Adjust the black level  
so that the low end of  
the curve for each  
color (R,G,B) is equal  
as see picture 2.  
This setup gives the best  
color balance.  
What is the relation between the color and the brightness adjustment?  
Brightness uniformly adjusts the amount of light output for the entire  
screen and its background. If it is increases too high the background  
will become white, too low and many dark colors will not be displayed.  
It affects all color controls.  
Contrast varies the difference in light output from the lowest to the  
highest screen intensities. It is the brightness adjustment for the video  
signal area.  
After making the color settings, readjust the contrast to get the best  
definition and intensity of the colors for the displayed image.

- PowerManager menu -  
E
What is PowerManager?  
The PowerManager feature automatically reduces the monitors power  
consumption during idle periods, in accordance with the PCs  
ScreenSaver software.  
There are two PowerSaving modes in the EIZO PowerManager:  
Mode 1 and Mode 2. Even if the monitor is in a power saving mode,  
it will return to a normal display immediately when the mouse or  
keyboard is operated.  
The EIZO PowerManager functions comply with NUTEK, the VESA  
DPMS standard, and the EPA’s Energy Star guidelines.

menus -  
All of the icons shown in the ScreenManager 'Others' menu are described  
below.  
Degaussing  
The monitor automatically degausses every time the power is turned ON  
and every time it is reactivated from the PowerManager power-saving  
Mode 2. A degaussing function is provided in the ScreenManager for use  
at other times. Note that the image vibrates slightly while degaussing is in  
progress, but will return to normal when degaussing is completed.  
The degauss circuitry takes about 30 minutes to regain maximum  
power following degaussing before it can work again.  
What is degaussing?  
“Degaussing” refers to the process of removing magnetic-field effects  
from the monitor. Operation of the monitor within a magnetic field  
may adversely effect color purity. Degaussing can be used to correct  
the problem.

Input Priority  
E
This unique feature of the ScreenManager is for those users who utilize  
two PCs. It allows the user to set the priority on the PC of choice.  
The monitor automatically detects the selected 'Input Priority' setting  
every time the power is turned ON (see note). Once the priority is set,  
whenever a signal is detected at that connection, the monitor will convert  
to that signal and display the data being sent.  
There are three settings available: D-Sub, BNC or Manual. Since the  
monitor comes with a standard D-Sub cable, the default priority setting  
is set to D-Sub.  
If only a single PC is connected and the standard bundled cable is used,  
no special setting is required.  
How to use  
Use this function to select which of two connected PCs controls the  
monitor. The following table indicates the available selections. For

Selecting the active input  
E
The front panels BNC/D-Sub selection button can be used to select  
BNC or D-Sub as the active input.  
The ScreenManagers Input Priority” setting (in the 'Others' menu)  
can be used to set up the automatic selection of the input .  
See page 23 for details.  
Linking monitors in a chain  
Three to four monitors can be chained together so that they can be  
controlled from a single source. All monitors will display the same  
image. This feature is useful, for example, when giving a presentation.  
The connection is made through the BNC inputs. Specifically, you  
attach BNC coaxial “Y” connectors to the BNC inputs on each monitor.  
Then connect the BNC signal cables. Please make sure the termination  
switch on each monitor is set appropriately, as described in the chaining  
procedure.  
Any EIZO monitor with a termination switch can be added to the  
chain.  
In order to maintain image clarity, the total length of chained cables  
should not exceed approximately 8 m (about three to four chained  
monitors).  
Termination switches are effective only with BNC connections.  
If a video color printer is included in the configuration, it should be  
placed at the end of the chain.

Chaining procedure  
1) Attach BNC coaxial “Y” connectors to each of the BNC inputs (H, V,  
G, R and B) on the first monitor in the chain (call this Monitor A).  
Then connect the monitor to the PC, using a signal cable equipped with  
BNC connectors at the monitor side.  
2) Attach BNC coaxial “Y” connectors to the next monitor (monitor B).  
Connect monitors A and B, this time using a signal cable with BNC  
connectors at both sides.  
3) Connect monitor B to monitor C, and continue in the same manner  
until all the monitors have been connected in the chain.  
4) Set the termination switch on the last monitor in the chain to 75  
ohms. Set the termination switches on all other monitors to HIGH  
IMPEDANCE ().  
Use a pen or other implement to set the termination switch. Do not  
push the switch with a screwdriver or other hard object, as this may  
cause damage to the switch or the monitor.  
When returning to a one-monitor configuration, be sure to reset the  
termination switch on the monitor to 75 ohms.

problem persists even after applying the suggested remedies, contact an  
EIZO dealer.  
Problems  
Points to check with possible  
solutions  
Problems caused by  
incorrectly setting of the  
termination switch.  
1) Misconvergence of colors.  
2) Focus is dull.  
• The termination switch on the rear of the monitor  
should be set to 75 position (default) for  
connection to a single monitor.  
3) PowerManager does not  
work properly in VESA  
setting.  
If it is set to the position when using a single  
monitor, some problems like 1) ~ 4) may occur.  
Check that the switch position is set to 75 Ω  
position.  
4) Slight shadow appears on the  
edges of the screen image or  
text. (only for the BNC  
connections.)  
No picture  
• Check that the power cord is correctly connected.  
1) Indicator status: OFF  
2) Indicator status: GREEN  
3) Indicator status: YELLOW  
• Try pressing a key on the keyboard, or clicking the  
mouse. (The screen-saver software may be active.)  
• Check brightness and contrast settings. Minimum  
settings will cause screen to be blank.  
• Try pressing a key on the keyboard, or clicking the  
mouse. (The screen-saver software may be active.)  
If the problem persists, switch off the monitor power  
for a few minutes, then switch it back on and try

• Check that the signal cable is properly connected to  
the graphics board or PC.  
• Check that the graphics board is correctly inserted  
in the PC.  
• Switch the signal input by pushing the BNC/ D-Sub  
selection button on the front control panel.  
5) “Out of range” error  
message appears.  
• Use the graphics boards utility software to change  
the frequency setting. (Refer to the manual of the  
graphics board.)  
(Example)  
• Whenever an error signal message appears, the  
signal frequency will be displayed in red.  
Error messages will remain on the screen for 30 seconds, and then disappear. An  
error message may not appear at all if the signal frequency is extremely high or  
extremely low.  
Imaging problems  
• Press the AUTO-SIZING button on the front panel.  
See Quick Setup Guide, page 8.  
1) Display size and/or position  
is incorrect.  
• Adjust the image size and/or position using the  
icons in the ScreenManager 'Screen' menu. See  
page 9.  
2) • The image vibrates on the  
screen.  
• Use of the “moiré reduction” feature may cause a  
slight vibration. To eliminate the vibration, switch  
the feature OFF or reduce the moiré reduction level.  
See page 10.  
• A slight shaking movement  
of the screen image or  
text.  
• Check that the signal cable is properly connected to  
the graphics board or PC.  
• Check that the graphics board is correctly mounted  
in the PC.

• The signal cable might be damaged. Please contact  
the dealer.  
• The monitor may be located close to a device that is  
generating a magnetic field. Such devices include  
speakers (other than the EIZO optional i·Sound  
speaker), electric motors, high-voltage cables, and  
other monitors. It may be solved by switching off  
or moving the interfering device, or by relocating  
the monitor.  
• If the volume level of the EIZO optional i·Sound  
speaker is too high, it may, in some cases, cause a  
slight vibration. To eliminate, turn down the  
volume of the speaker.  
A unstable signal from the graphics board may be the cause of the above problem  
when using the monitor with a high resolution or in a high refresh mode. (The video  
signal from the graphics board might be made irregular due to the use of a high  
speed dot clock.) Change the resolution or the refresh rate to another setting.  
3) The image has a background  
shadow.  
• Try adjusting the convergence in the  
ScreenManagers Screen menu.  
See page 10.  
• This problem can occur when using BNC  
connection and the termination switch is set  
incorrectly. The termination switch should be set to  
75 ohms for a connection to a single monitor.  
See page 27.  
4) The image is flickering.  
• Flicker will occur with interlaced scanning, or  
non-interlaced scanning with a low refresh rate. All  
EIZO monitors are capable of reproducing high  
refresh rates for non-interlaced scanning. If a  
problem occurs when using a non-interlaced signal,  
try adjusting the graphics board to increase the  
refresh rate (if possible). Refer to the graphics  
board manual for information.

Non-Interlaced / Interlaced  
E
In a non-interlaced” scan, the electric guns draw the entire image in one vertical  
pass, with each pass covering every horizontal line.  
In a interlaced” scan, the guns draw the entire image by scanning vertically twice.  
At the first scanning, the guns draw every other horizontal line. At the second, they  
draw the other lines. Thus, in a "interlaced scan", the image flickers more visibly  
when compared with a "non-interlaced" scan.  
Flicker  
The term “flicker” refers to noticeable shimmering that occurs when the image on  
the screen is redrawn (“refreshed”) too slowly. A refresh rate of 80 Hz means the  
image is redrawn 80 times per second. Most people will notice flicker at image  
refresh rates as high as 60 or 70 Hz, whereas refresh rates of 72 Hz or above usually  
is not noticeable. Flicker is known to be the cause of visual fatigue.

ScreenManagers Screen menu.  
See page 9.  
6) The screen is partly dark.  
• The CRT is not warmed up. Allow 30 minutes for  
the monitor to stabilize.  
• This problem can be caused by earth magnetism. If  
this condition is noticeable, please follow the  
procedure below.  
(Procedure)  
1) Degauss the screen by using the "Degaussing"  
feature in the ScreenManager's 'Others' menu.  
2) Select the "Tilt" function through the  
ScreenManager's 'Screen' menu.  
3) Adjust the screen for the best balance between  
bright uniformity and tilt compensation.  
4) If after performing the above adjustment the  
vertical sides of the screen image may be at a  
slight angle, this can be corrected by using the  
"Parallelogram" adjustment in the  
ScreenManager's 'Screen' menu.  
7) Moiré patterns are  
distracting.  
• Go to the ScreenManagers Screen menu. Switch  
on the moiré reduction feature and adjust as  
necessary.  
See page 10.

Color problems  
1) The entire screen appears  
bluish or reddish.  
• The CRT is not warmed up. Allow 30 minutes for  
the monitor to stabilize.  
2) Color purity is not uniform.  
• Allow 30 minutes for the monitor to warm up.  
• Degauss the screen. (Use the degaussing feature in  
the ScreenManagers 'Others' menu. See page 22.)  
3) Misconvergence of colors.  
(red, green, blue)  
• Allow 30 minutes for the monitor to warm up.  
• Adjust the convergence using the Convergence  
feature in the ScreenManagers Screen menu.  
See page 10.  
• This problem can occur when using a BNC  
connection and the termination switch is set  
incorrectly. The termination switch should be set  
to 75 ohms for connection to a single monitor.  
See page 27.  
Explanation of the Characteristics of CRTs  
When the monitor is not fully warmed up, the screen may look slightly colored, e.g.  
reddish or bluish. This phenomenon is due to the unstableness of the electron gun  
during its warm-up period. Please wait for about 30 minutes until the monitor  
stabilizes in order to gain its proper color.  
Others  
1) The monitor beeps or hums.  
• The monitor emits a humming noise when  
executing automatic degaussing at power-ON.  
This is not a problem.  
• The monitor beeps at any time. This is not a  
problem. See page 24 for full details.

2) Control Pad “ENTER key”  
does not operate.  
• The Adjustment Lock is probably on. To unlock:  
switch off the monitor power, then hold down the  
AUTO-SIZING button and switch the monitor  
back on. See page 26.

3) AUTO-SIZING button does  
not operate.  
• The Adjustment Lock is probably on. To unlock:  
switch off the monitor power, then hold down the  
AUTO-SIZING button and switch the monitor  
back on. See page 26.  
4) AUTO-SIZING button does  
not work properly.  
• The Auto-sizing function is intended for use on the  
Macintosh and on IBM compatibles running  
Windows. It may not work properly if either of the  
following applies.  
- You are running an AT-compatible PC on  
MS-DOS (not Windows).  
- The background color for the “wallpaper” or  
“desktop” pattern is set to black.  
• Some signals from graphics boards may not  
function properly.  
A solid-color screen (i.e. red, green, blue) may appear for an instant while performing  
the auto-sizing function, this phenomenon is not a failure.  
5) Characters are too large.  
• Change the resolution of the graphics board to a  
higher setting. (Refer to the manual for the graphics  
board or PC.)  
What is Resolution?  
Resolution is expressed as the number of dots (pixels) displayed on the screen. A  
larger number of dots produces a more sharply defined (a higher-resolution) image.  
Note that for a given screen size the dot size decreases as the number of dots  
increases: a 640 × 480 (dot × line) resolution uses larger pixels than a 1024 × 768  
resolution. The display size of a given font therefore varies according to the  
resolution. Higher resolutions allow you to display more information on the screen.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
35  
Changing the resolution  
If you are using a Macintosh, you can change the resolution from the APPLE menu by  
selecting Option” from “Monitor” or “Sound & Display. If you are using a PC other  
than a Macintosh, refer to the manual for your PC or graphics board for information.  
Please refer to both the graphics board and monitor manuals for the scanning frequency  
compatibility.  
• These are dampening wires. Dampening wires are  
used to support the CRTs aperture grille, and are  
visible as thin dark lines across the screen. All  
EIZO aperture-grille type CRTs include two such  
horizontal wires.  
6) Two horizontal hairlines are  
visible on the screen.  
The aperture grille itself is a grid of taut metal  
filaments that spans the entire screen from top to  
bottom.  
7) Faint black vertical lines are  
visible on the screen.  
• The aperture grille may be misaligned. Shock or  
vibration during transport may, in some cases,  
cause the aperture grille to fall out of alignment.  
The problem will appear as one or more faint black  
lines across the screen.  
If this problem occurs, it may be able to solved by:  
• degaussing the screen, or  
• lightly tapping (do not hit) the side of  
the monitor.  
If neither of these methods works, try executing the  
following procedure.  
1)Display a bright white field over the area where  
the black line(s) appear, with a black field over  
the unaffected areas. (Do this by opening a  
bright-white window on top of a black desktop  
or wallpaper background. Position the window  
so that it just covers the area of misalignment.)  
2)Set brightness and contrast to maximum values,  
and keep the display ON until the problem is  
corrected. Try tapping the side of the display  
lightly to help expedite realignment. The white  
field will heat up the misaligned area of the grille,  
returning it to proper alignment.

Congratulations!  
You have just purchased a TCO99 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 encourag-  
ing 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 labelling involve?  
This product meets the requirements for the TCO99 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).  
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.

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 TCO99 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 TCO99 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 TCO99 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.
