FCC Class B Radio Frequency Interference Statement  
WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS) 
 
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for 
a Class B digital device, 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 off 
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or 
more of the following measures: 
1.  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 
2.  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 
3.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to 
which the receiver is connected. 
4.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 
 
 
NOTICE:  1.  The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party 
responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the 
equipment. 
2.  Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in 
order to comply with the emission limits. 
3.  The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference 
caused by unauthorized modification to this equipment. It is the  
responsibilities of the user to correct such interference.

PRECAUTIONS 
 
z  Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen 
sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement. 
z  Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor 
falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to the appliance. 
Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with 
the monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit 
approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit instructions. 
z  Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for 
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it 
from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do 
not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place 
the monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the 
monitor in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided. 
z  The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source 
indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to 
your home, consult your dealer or local power company. 
z  The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a 
third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet as 
a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug, 
have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground 
the appliance safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded 
plug. 
z  Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for 
long period of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to 
power surges. 
z  Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result 
in fire or electric shock. 
z  Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short 
circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the 
monitor. 
z  Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself; opening or removing 
covers can expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please 
refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 
z  To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed 
computers which have appropriate configured receptacles marked 
between 100 - 240V AC, Min. 5A. 
z  The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily 
accessible. 
z   For use only with the attached power adapter (Output 12Vdc) which have       
UL, CSA listed license.  
 
						

							 3 SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS
 
 
The following symptoms are normal with LCD monitor and do not indicate a 
problem. 
  
NOTES  
•  Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during 
initial use. Turn off the Power Switch and then turn it on again to make 
sure the flicker disappears. 
•  You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the 
desktop pattern you use. 
•  The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may include 
blemishes of 0.01% or less such as a missing pixel or a pixel lit all of the 
time. 
•  Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen 
may remain after switching the image when the same image has been 
displayed for a long time.  The monitor will slowly recover from this.
