General   
Performance    
Plug and Play Capability  
You can install the monitor in any Plug and Play - compatible system. The monitor automatically provides the computer system with its Extended Display 
Identification Data (EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the system can configure itself and optimize the monitor settings. If required, the 
user can select different settings, but in most cases monitor installation is automatic.  
Maintenance Guidelines    
Caring for Your Monitor  
   
F o r best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:  
l To clean your antistatic screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special screen - cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the 
antistatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.   
l Use a lightly - dampened, warm cloth to clean the plastics. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the plastics.    
l If you notice a white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth.   
l Handle your  monitor with care as dark - colored monitors may scratch and show white scuff marks more than lighter - colored monitors.

   Safety Instructions  
   FCC Notice (U.S. Only)  
   Contacting Dell™  
CAUTION: Safety Instructions  
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:   
l To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure that the voltage selection switch on the power supply for the computer is set to match the alternating 
current (AC) power available at your location:   
 
115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as Japan, South Korea (also 220 volts (V)/60 
hertz (Hz)), and Taiwan.   
 
230 volts (V)/50 hertz (Hz) in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.  
 
l Always be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.   
l Do not store or use the monitor in locations that are exposed to heat, direct sunlight, or extreme cold.   
 
l Avoid moving the monitor between locations with large temperature differences.   
 
l Do not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions. For example, do not place the monitor inside a car trunk.   
 
l Do not store or use the monitor in locations exposed to high humidity or dusty environment.   
 
l Do not allow water or other liquids to spill on or into the monitor.   
 
l Keep flat panel monitor in room temperature conditions. Excessive cold or hot conditions can have an adverse effect on the liquid crystal of the display.   
 
l Never insert anything metallic into the monitor openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock.   
 
l To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the monitor case.   
 
l Never use your monitor if the power cable has been damaged. Ensure that nothing rests on your computers cables and that the cables are not located 
where they can be stepped on or tripped over.   
 
l Be sure to grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the monitor from an electric socket.   
 
l Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Avoid using the 
monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface, as doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you place the monitor 
in a bookcase or an enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation and air flow.   
 
l Place your monitor in a location with low humidity and minimum dust. Avoid places similar to a damp basement or dusty hallway.   
 
l Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, next to swimming pools, etc.). If the monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and 
contact an authorized dealer immediately. You can clean the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, being sure to unplug the monitor first.   
 
l Place the monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or hit sharply.   
 
l Locate your monitor near an easily accessible electric outlet.   
 
l If your monitor does not operate normally  -  in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it  -  unplug it immediately and contact an 
authorized dealer or service center.   
 
l Do not attempt to remove the back cover, as you will be exposed to an electrical shock hazard. The back cover should only be removed by qualified 
service personnel.   
 
l High temperatures can cause problems. Dont use your monitor in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources 
of heat.  
 
l Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.   
 
l Unplug your monitor from the electric outlet before any service is performed.   
 
l  LAMP(S) INSIDE THIS PRODUCT CONTAIN(S) MERCURY AND MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OFF ACCORDING TO LOCAL, STATE OR 
FEDERAL LAWS.  FOR MORE INFORMATION, GO TO  WWW.DELL.COM/HG   OR CONTACT THE ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES ALLIANCE AT

FCC Notice (U.S. Only)  CAUTION:  Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, 
electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards. 
  NOTE:   This monitor does not need or have a voltage selection switch for setting the AC voltage input. It will automatically accept any AC input voltage 
according to the ranges defined in the Electrical Specifications section in the Users Guide.
