1. Important
Important information for Burn-in/Ghost image
Always activate a moving screen saver  • 
program when you leave your monitor 
unattended. Always activate a periodic screen 
refresh application if your monitor will display 
unchanging static content. Uninterrupted 
display of still or static images over an 
extended period may cause “burn in”, also 
known as “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging”,  
on your screen. 
Burn-in, after-imaging, or ghost imaging  • 
is a well-known phenomenon in monitor 
panel technology. In most cases, the “burned 
in” or “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging” will 
disappear gradually over a period of time after 
the power has been switched off.  
 Warning
Failure to activate a screen saver, or a periodic 
screen refresh application may result in severe 
“burn-in” or “after-image” or “ghost image” 
symptoms will not disappear and cannot be 
repaired. The damage mentioned above is not 
covered under your warranty.
Service
  The casing cover should be opened only by    •
qualified ser vice personnel.
  If there is any need for any document for    •
repair or integration, please contact with 
your local ser vice center. (please refer to the 
chapter of Consumer Information Center) 
  For transpor tation information, please refer to    •
Technical Specifications. 
  Do not leave your monitor in a car/trunk    •
under direct sun light.
 Note
Consult a ser vice technician if the monitor does 
not operate normally, or you are not sure what 
procedure to take when the operating instructions 
given in this manual have been followed.
