5PRECAUTIONS

Notice for this monitor
In	 order 	 to 	 suppress 	 the 	 luminosity 	 change 	 by 	 long-term 	 use 	 and 	 to 	 maintain 	 the 	 stable 	 luminosity, 	 use 	 of 	 a 	 monitor 	 in 	
lower
	 brightness 	 is 	 recommended.
The
	 LCD 	 panel 	 is 	 manufactured 	 using 	 high-precision 	 technology. 	 However, 	 note 	 that 	 the 	 appearance 	 of 	 any 	 missing 	
pixels
	 or 	 lit 	 pixels 	 does 	 not 	 indicate 	 damage 	 to 	 the 	 LCD 	 monitor.
Percentage
	 of 	 effective 	 pixels: 	 99.9994% 	 or 	 higher.
The
	 backlight 	 of 	 the 	 LCD 	 panel 	 has 	 a 	 fixed 	 life 	 span. 	 When 	 the 	 screen 	 becomes 	 dark 	 or 	 begins 	 to 	 flicker, 	 please 	 contact 	
your
	 dealer.
Do
	 not 	 press 	 on 	 the 	 panel 	 or 	 edge 	 of 	 the 	 frame 	 strongly, 	 as 	 this 	 may 	 result 	 in 	 the 	 display 	 malfunction, 	 such 	 as 	 the 	
interference
	 patterns, 	 etc. 	 If 	 pressure 	 is 	 continually 	 applied 	 to 	 the 	 LCD 	 panel, 	 it 	 may 	 deteriorate 	 or 	 damage 	 your 	 LCD 	
panel.
	 (If 	 the 	 pressure 	 marks 	 remain 	 on 	 the 	 LCD 	 panel, 	 leave 	 the 	 monitor 	 with 	 a 	 white 	 or 	 black 	 screen. 	 The 	 symptom 	
may
	 disappear.)
Do
	 not 	 scratch 	 or 	 press 	 on 	 the 	 panel 	 with 	 any 	 sharp 	 objects, 	 such 	 as 	 a 	 pencil 	 or 	 pen 	 as 	 this 	 may 	 result 	 in 	 damage 	 to 	 the 	
panel.
	 Do 	 not 	 attempt 	 to 	 brush 	 with 	 tissues 	 as 	 this 	 may 	 scratch 	 the 	 LCD 	 panel.
When
	 the 	 monitor 	 is 	 cold 	 and 	 brought 	 into 	 a 	 room 	 or 	 the 	 room 	 temperature 	 goes 	 up 	 quickly, 	 dew 	 condensation 	
may
	 occur 	 inside 	 and 	 outside 	 the 	 monitor. 	 In 	 that 	 case, 	 do 	 not 	 turn 	 the 	 monitor 	 on 	 and 	 wait 	 until 	 dew 	 condensation 	
disappears,
	 otherwise 	 it 	 may 	 cause 	 damage 	 to 	 the 	 monitor.
When
	 the 	 screen 	 image 	 is 	 changed 	 after 	 displaying 	 the 	 same 	 image 	 for 	 extended 	 periods 	 of 	 time, 	 an 	 afterimage 	 may 	
appear. 	 Use 	 the 	 screen 	 saver 	 or 	 timer 	 to 	 avoid 	 displaying 	 the 	 same 	 image 	 for 	 extended 	 periods 	 of 	 time.
To use the monitor comfortably
An	 excessively 	 dark 	 or 	 bright 	 screen 	 may 	 affect 	 your 	 eyes. 	 Adjust 	 the 	 brightness 	 of 	 the 	 monitor 	 according 	 to 	 the 	
environmental
	 conditions.
Staring
	 at 	 the 	 monitor 	 for 	 a 	 long 	 time 	 tires 	 your 	 eyes. 	 Take 	 a 	 10-minute 	 rest 	 every 	 hour.
