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 		
computers which have appropriate configured receptacles marked between 
100-240V

	
AC.
 		
•	

If 	 you 	 encounter 	 technical 	 problems 	 with 	 the 	 monitor, 	 contact 	 a 	 qualified 	
service

	 technician 	 or 	 your 	 retailer. 		
This	symbol	of 	the 	crossed 	out 	wheeled 	bin 	indicates 	that 	the 	product 	(electrical, 	electronic
	 equipment, 	 and 	 mercury-containing 	 button 	 cell 	 battery) 	 should 	 not 	
be placed in municipal waste. Please check local regulations for disposa\
l of 
electronic products.
  
						

							v
Care & Cleaning
•	 Before	you	lift	or	reposition	your	monitor,	it	is	better	to	disconnect	the	cables	
and power cord. Follow the correct lifting techniques when positioning t\
he 
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. 	
T
 urn 	 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 	 monitor. 	 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!
