What will Dell do?
During the 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited warranties: During the 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited warranties, we will repair any Dell-branded hardware products returned to us that prove to be defective in materials or workmanship. If we are not able to repair the product, we will replace it with a comparable product that is new or refurbished.
When you contact us, we will issue a Return Material Authorization Number for you to include with your return. You must return the products to us in their original or equivalent packaging, prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the product is lost or damaged in shipment. We will return the repaired or replacement products to you. We will pay to ship the repaired or replaced products to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the product to you freight collect.
If we determine that the product is not covered under this warranty, we will notify you and inform you of service alternatives that are available to you on a fee basis.
NOTE: Before you ship the product(s) to us, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in the product(s). Remove any confidential, proprietary, or personal information and removable media such as floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are not responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary, or personal information; lost or corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media.
During the remaining years: For the remaining period of the limited warranty, we will replace any defective part with new or refurbished parts, if we agree that it needs to be replaced. When you contact us, we will require a valid credit card number at the time you request a replacement part, but we will not charge you for the replacement part as long as you return the original part to us within thirty days after we ship the replacement part to you. If we do not receive the original part within thirty days, we will charge to your credit card the then-current standard price for that part.
We will pay to ship the part to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the part freight collect. We will also include a prepaid shipping container with each replacement part for your use in returning the replaced part to us.
NOTE: Before you replace parts, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in the product(s). We are not responsible for lost or corrupted data.
What if I purchased a service contract?

If you purchased through us a service contract with one of our third-party service providers, please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.
How will you fix my product?
We use new and refurbished parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty repairs and in building replacement parts and systems. Refurbished parts and systems are parts or systems that have been returned to Dell, some of which were never used by a customer. All parts and systems are inspected and tested for quality. Replacement parts and systems are covered for the remaining period of the limited warranty for the product you bought.
What do I do if I am not satisfied?
We pride ourselves on our great customer service. If you are not satisfied with the service you receive under this limited warranty, please let us know. We have found that the best way to resolve issues regarding our limited warranty is to work together. If, after those discussions, you are still not satisfied, we believe arbitration is the most expeditious way to resolve your concerns. Therefore, ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT, OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) AGAINST DELL arising from or relating to this limited warranty, its interpretation, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, the relationships which result from this limited warranty (including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, relationships with third parties), Dell's advertising, or any related purchase SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM (NAF) under its Code of Procedure then in effect (available via the Internet at www.arb-forum.com/ or via telephone at 1-800-474-2371). The arbitration will be limited solely to the dispute or controversy between you and Dell. Any award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Information may be obtained and claims may be filed with the NAF at P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 55405. This provision applies only to individual home consumers and consumers who purchased through an employee purchase program. It does not apply to small, medium, large, and global commercial customers or government, education, and healthcare customers.

HUOMIO: Muiden kuin tässä käsikirjassa mainittujen
sovitinten, muiden laitteiden ja toimenpiteiden käytöstä saattaa olla
seurauksena altistuminen sähköiskulle, sähkövaurioille ja/tai sähköisille tai
mekaanisille vaurioille.
Lue seuraavat ohjeet
suorittaessasi monitorisi liitäntöjä tai käyttäessäsi monitoria:
Välttääksesi vahingoittamasta tietokonettasi,
varmista, että tietokoneen virran kytkemiseen tarvittava volttimäärä (AC)
on sama kuin asuinalueellasi käytettävä:
115 volttia (V)/60 hertziä (Hz) suurimmassa
osassa Pohjois- ja Etelä-Amerikkaa sekä joissakin Kauko-Idän maista,
kuten Japanissa, Etelä-Koreassa (myös 220 volttia (V)/60 hertz (Hz)) sekä
Taiwanilla.
230 volttia (V)/50 hertziä (Hz) suurimmassa
osassa Eurooppaa sekä Lähi- ja Kauko-Itää.
Varmista aina,
että monitorisi sopii alueellasi käytettävään AC-virtaan.
HUOMAUTUS: Tämä monitori ei tarvitse eikä siinä ole
volttivalikoimaa käytettäessä AC-volttisyöttöä. Se hyväksyy automaattisesti
minkä tahansa AC-volttisyötön, joka on määritelty Electrical
Specifications"-osiossa.
Älä koskaan aseta mitään metallista monitorin
aukkoihin. Tällainen
toiminta aiheuttaa sähköiskun.
Välttääksesi sähköiskua, älä koskaan koske
monitorin sisäosia. Ainoastaan koulutettu korjaaja saa tehdä niin.
Älä koskaan käytä monitoriasi, mikäli
virtajohto on vahingoittunut. Älä anna minkään nojata virtajohtoon. Pidä
virtajohto poissa ihmisten kulkureitiltä.
Tartu pistokkeeseen, älä johtoon,
irroittaessasi monitori sähköisestä liittimestä.
Monitorin aukot ovat tuuletusta varten.
Ylkuumenemisen välttämiseksi näitä aukkoja ei pidä peittää, eikä tukkia.
Älä käytä monitoria sängyllä, sohvalla, matolla tai muulla pehmeällä
pinnalla, sillä silloin pohjassa olevat tuuletusaukot saattavat tukkeutua.
Mikäli sijoitat monitorin kirjahyllyyn, varmista riittävä tuuletus ja
ilmanvaihto.
Sijoita monitori paikkaan, jossa on
mahdollisimman vähän kosteutta ja pölyä. Vältä sellaisia paikkoja, kuten

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. With the growing manufacture and usage of electronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the materials and substances used by electronic products with regards to their eventual recycling and disposal. By proper selection of these materials and substances, the impact on the environment can be minimized.
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. Electronic equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary consumption of large amounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint of carbon dioxide emissions alone, it is vital to save energy.
What does labelling involve?
The product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labelling of personal computers and/or displays. 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: ecology, ergonomics, emission of electrical and magnetical fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.
Ecological criteria impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, and other substances. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturing site(s) shall be certified according to ISO14001 or EMAS registered.
Energy requirements include a demand that the system unit 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 system unit shall be reasonable for the user.
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electrical and magnetical fields as well as work load and visual ergonomics.
Below you will find a brief summary of the ecological requirements met by this product. The complete ecological criteria document can be found at TCO Development's website http://www.tcodevelopment.com or may be ordered from:
TCO Development
SE-114 94 STOCKHOLM, Sweden

Ecological requirements
Flame retardants
Flame retardants may be present in printed wiring board laminates, cables, and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% by weight of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Many flame retardants contain bromine or chlorine, and these flame retardants are chemically related to PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chlorine and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes when not disposed of in accordance with strict standards for disposal.
TCO'99 requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams shall not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed wiring board laminates due to the lack of commercially available alternatives.
Cadmium**
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer displays. TCO'99 requires that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens, and the electrical or electronics components shall not contain any cadmium.
Mercury**
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. TCO'99 requires that batteries shall 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.
Lead**
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. TCO'99 permits the use of lead due to the lack of commercially available alternatives, but in future requirements TCO Development aims at restricting the use of lead.
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate in living organisms.
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.
The display you have just purchased carries the TCO'03 Displays label. This means that your display is designed, manufactured and tested according to some of the strictest quality and environmental requirements in the world. This makes for a high performance product, designed with the user in focus that also minimizes the impact on our natural environment.
Some of the features of the TCO'03 Display requirements:
Ergonomics
Good visual ergonomics and image quality in order to improve the working environment for the user and to reduce sight and strain problems. Important parameters are luminance, contrast, resolution, reflectance, colour rendition and image stability.
Energy
Energy-saving mode after a certain time - beneficial both for the user and the environment
Electrical safety
Emissions
Electromagnetic fields
Noise emissions
Ecology
The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer must have a certified environmental management system such as EMAS or ISO 14000
Restrictions on
chlorinated and brominated flame retardants and polymers
heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury and lead.
The requirements included in this label have been developed by TCO Development in cooperation with scientists, experts, users as well as manufacturers all over the world. Since the end of the 1980s TCO has been involved in influencing the development of IT equipment in a more user-friendly direction. Our labelling system started with displays in 1992 and is now requested by users and IT-manufacturers all over the world.
The proper operation of the function requires a computer with VESA® DPM power management capabilities. When used with a computer equipped with VESA® DPM, the monitor is ENERGY STAR®-compliant. As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Dell Inc. has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.
