found
to
comply
within
the
limits
of
a
Class
B
digital

pursuant
to
Part
15
of
the
FCC
Rules.
These
limits
are
designed
to
provide
reasonable
protection
against
harmful
interference
in
a
residential
installation.
This
equipment
generates,
uses,
and
can
radiate
radio
frequency
energy
and
if
not
installed
and
used
in
accordance
with
the
instructions,
may
cause
harmful
interference
to
radio
communications.
However,
there
is
no
guarantee
that
interference
will
not
occur
in
a
particular
installation.
If
this
equipment
does
cause
harmful
interference
to
radio
or
television
reception
(which
can
be
determined
by
turning
the
equipment
on
and
off),
the
user
is
encouraged
to
try
to
correct
the
interference
by
using
one
or
more
of
the
following
measures:
Reorient
or
relocate
the
receiving
antenna.
Increase
the
separation
between
the
equipment
and
the
receiver.
Connect
the
equipment
into
an
outlet
on a
circuit
different
from
that
to
which
the
receiver
is
connected.
Consult
the
dealer
or
an
experienced
radio/TV
technician
for
help.
Caution:
Changes
or
modifications
not
expressly
approved
by
the
party
responsible
for
compliance
could
void
the
user's
(or
your)
authority

Appendix
Congratulations!
Why
do
we
have
environmentally
labelled
computers?
Environmental
Labelling
of
Personal
Computers
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.
This
product
meets
the
requirements
for
the
TCO'99
scheme
which
provides
for
an
international
environmental
and
quality
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),
Statens
Energimyndighet
(The
Swedish
National
Energy
Administration)
and
SEMKO
AB.
The
requirements
cover
a
wide
range
of
issues:
environment,
ergonomics,
usability,
reduction
of
electric
and
magnetic
fields,
energy
consumption
and
electrical
safety.
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
(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?
Environmental
requirements
Environmental
Labelling
of
Personal
Computers
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.
Below
you
will
find
a
brief
summary
of
the
environmental
requirements
met
by
this
product.

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.
Environmental
Labelling
of
Personal
Computers
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.
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.
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.
*
Bio-accumulative
is
defined
as
substances
which
accumulate
within
living
organisms
**
Lead,
Cadmium
and
Mercury
are
heavy
metals
which
are
Bio-accumulative.
