Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic inhigh doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It alsodemands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with thelabeled unit.CFCs (freons)The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufactureand assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCsbreak down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception onearth of ultraviolet light with increased risks e.g. skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.Lead**Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervoussystem and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO'99 requirement permits the inclusionof 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.RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGEEnergy Star DeclarationPHILIPS170B2MThis monitor is equipped with a function for saving energy which supports the VESA Display PowerManagement Signaling (DPMS) standard. This means that the monitor must be connected to acomputer which supports VESA DPMS to fulfill the requirements in the NUTEK specification 803299/94.Time settings are adjusted from the system unit by software. From indicated inactivity to Power SavingPosition A2, the total time must not be set to more than 70 minutes.NUTEK VESA State LED Indicator Power ConsumptionNormal operation ON Green < 50 WPower SavingPosition A1 Suspend Amber < 2 WPower SavingPosition A2 OFF Amber < 2 WRegulatory Informationfile:///D|/Grace/K1/english/170b2m/safety/regs/regulat.htm (3 of 11) [11/22/2001 1:37:52 PM]
