Safety and Maintenance Guidelines
Safety Guidelines
Power Requirements
Refer to the “Power Cord Set Requirements” section in “Agency Regulatory Notice,” for
information on the correct power cord set for this device.
Important Safety Information
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable the
power cord grounding feature. This equipment is designed to be connected to a grounded
(earthed) power outlet that is easily accessible to the operator. The grounding plug is an important
safety feature.
Å
WARNING: For your safety, be sure that the power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily
accessible and located as close to the equipment as possible. When you need to disconnect the
power to the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by grasping the plug firmly.
Never pull on the cord.
Å
CAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your computer, connect all power cords
for your computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, scanner) to some form of
surge protection device such as a power strip or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Not all
power strips provide surge protection; the power strips must be specifically labeled as having this
ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement Policy so you can
replace your equipment if surge protection fails.
Ä
Maintenance Guidelines
To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor, follow these guidelines:
✎ Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. If your
monitor is not operating properly, or has been dropped or damaged, first unplug your
monitor from the power outlet, then contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or
service provider.
✎ Adjust only those controls that are discussed in the operating instructions.
✎ Place your monitor at least 3 inches (76 mm) away from walls or other enclosures.
✎ Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on the
label/back plate of the monitor.
Reference Guide
2–1
Safety and Maintenance Guidelines
✎ Be sure the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed
the current rating of the electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products
connected to the cord does not exceed the rating of the cord. Look on the power label to
determine the ampere rating (AMPS or A) for each device.
✎ Install your monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by
grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by
pulling the cord.
✎ Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life of your
monitor by using a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.
✎ Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. If the screen requires additional
cleaning, use an antistatic CRT screen cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other volatile substances to clean your
monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the screen.
Ä
✎ Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not
be blocked or covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other
openings.
✎ Do not place plants on top of your monitor. Water or dirt from the plant may get into the
vents.
✎ Do not drop your monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
✎ Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.
✎ Keep your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat or moisture.
Keep your monitor away from high-capacity transformers, electric motors, and other
devices with strong magnetic fields.
✎ In a two-monitor system, place your monitors as far apart from one another as possible to
lessen interference between them.
✎ Do not place the monitor face down. Damage could result to the front panel controls or
the monitor screen.

TCO‘99 Requirements
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.
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.
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 (for example, 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 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).
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 obligated to
have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company
implements its operational policy.
Reference Guide
D–1
TCO‘99 Requirements
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.
Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product.

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 bioaccumulative 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.
Bioaccumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living
organisms.
✎
Cadmium
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-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 color-generating layers of display
screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.
Cadmium is a heavy metal that is Bioaccumulative.

TCO‘99 Requirements
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.
Mercury is a heavy metal that is Bioaccumulative.
✎
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.
Lead is a heavy metal that is Bioaccumulative.
