NCD Explora 700, Installing Manual

Page: 5 / 44

The prevailing professional opinion to date is that VDTs are safe. NCD products comply with the
applicable regulations and standards for electromagnetic radiation set forth by the U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations, Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standards Association, and the German VDE
Standard. When and if new or additional standards are adopted, NCD will take appropriate steps to
comply with them.
Even though the preponderance of professional opinion is that VDTs are safe, some of our customers
have asked us for information on how to reduce their exposure to VLF and ELF emissions. Although
NCD does not endorse the following as having health benefits, the easiest and perhaps most economical
and effective measures are to turn off your display when not in use, to position your display at arm’s
length, and to avoid working in areas where you are positioned close to the rear of a VDT (where the
emissions are strongest). Also, shields are available from third party vendors that reduce glare and
electric emissions.
