Safety information
•    Before setting up the monitor, carefully read all the documentation that came with the package.   
•
  To prevent fire or shock hazard, never expose the monitor to rain or
moisture.  
•
  Never try to open the monitor cabinet. The dangerous high voltages inside 
the monitor may result in serious physical injury. 
•
  If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a 
qualified service technician or your retailer.  
•
  Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected 
and the power cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact 
your dealer immediately. 
•
  Slots and openings on the back or top of the cabinet are provided for 
ventilation. Do not block these slots. Never place this product near or over 
a radiator or heat source unless proper ventilation is provided.  
•
  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  supply  to 
your home, consult your dealer or local power company. 
•
  Use the appropriate power plug which complies with your local power 
standard. 
•
  Do not overload power strips and extention cords. Overloading can result 
in fire or electric shock.   
•
  Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the monitor 
in  any  area  where  it  may  become  wet.  Place  the  monitor  on  a  stable 
surface. 
•
  Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or if it will not be used for a long 
period of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power 
surges. 
•
  Never push objects or spill liquid of any kind into the slots on the monitor 
cabinet.    
•
  To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed  
c o m p u t e r s   w h i c h   h a v e   a p p r o p r i a t e   c o n f i g u r e d   r e c e p t a c l e s   m a r k e d 
between 100-240V AC. 
•
  If you encounter technical problems with the monitor, contact a qualified 
service technician or your retailer.

Care & Cleaning 
•  Before you lift or reposition your monitor, it is better to disconnect the 
c a b l e s   a n d   p o w e r   c o r d .   F o l l o w   t h e   c o r r e c t   l i f t i n g   t e c h n i q u e s   w h e n 
positioning  the  monitor.  When  lifting  or  carrying  the  monitor,  grasp  the 
edges of the monitor. Do not lift the display by the stand or the cord. 
•
  Cleaning. Turn your monitor off and unplug the power cord. Clean the 
monitor  surface  with  a  lint-free,  non-abrasive  cloth.  Stubborn  stains  may 
be removed with a cloth dampened with mild cleaner. 
•
  Avoid using a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner 
intended for use with the LCD. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen, 
as it may drip inside the monitor and cause an electric shock. 
The following symptoms are normal with the monitor:
•  The screen may flicker during the initial use due to the nature of the 
fluorescent  light.  Turn  off  the  Power  Switch  and  turn  it  on  again  to  make 
sure that the flicker disappears.   
•
  You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the 
desktop pattern you use. 
•
  When the same image is displayed for hours, an afterimage of the previous 
screen  may  remain  after  switching  the  image.  The  screen  will  recover 
slowly or you can turn off the Power Switch for hours. 
•
  When the screen becomes black or flashes, or cannot work anymore,  
contact your dealer or service center to fix it. Do not repair the screen by 
yourself!
