    Federal Communications Commission Statement
    This	 device 	 complies 	 with 	 Part 	 15 	 of 	 the 	 FCC 	 Rules. 	 Operation 	 is 	 subject 	 to 	 the 	
    following	 two 	 conditions:
    •	 This	 device 	 may 	 not 	 cause 	 harmful 	 interference, 	 and
    •	 This	 device 	 must 	 accept 	 any 	 interference 	 received 	 including 	 interference 	 that 	
    may	 cause 	 undesired 	 operation.
    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 	 manufacturer’s 	
    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:
    •	 Reorient	 or 	 relocate 	 the 	 receiving 	 antenna.
    •	 Increase	 the 	 separation 	 between 	 the 	 equipment 	 and 	 receiver.
    •	 Connect	 the 	 equipment 	 to 	 an 	 outlet 	 on 	 a 	 circuit 	 different 	 from 	 that 	 to 	 which 	 the 	
    receiver	 is 	 connected.
    •	 Consult 	 the 	 dealer 	 or 	 an 	 experienced 	 radio/TV 	 technician 	 for 	 help.
    The	 use 	 of 	 shielded 	 cables 	 for 	 connection 	 of 	 the 	 monitor 	 to 	 the 	 graphics 	 card 	 is 	required	 to 	 assure 	 compliance 	 with 	 FCC 	 regulations. 	 Changes 	 or 	 modifications 	to	 this 	 unit 	 not 	 expressly 	 approved 	 by 	 the 	 party 	 responsible 	 for 	 compliance 	
    could	 void 	 the 	 user’s 	 authority 	 to 	 operate 	 this 	 equipment.
    As	 an 	 Energy 	 Star® Partner,	 our 	 company 	 has 	 determined 	 that 	 this 	 product 	 meets 	
    the	 Energy 	 Star® guidelines	 for 	 energy 	 efficiency.
    Canadian Department of Communications Statement
    This	 digital 	 apparatus 	 does 	 not 	 exceed 	 the 	 Class 	 B 	 limits 	 for 	 radio 	 noise 	 emissions

    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 	 disposal 	 of 	
    electronic
    	 products.

    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 	 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!
