use with this display.
•Do not place any objects on top of the display and do not use the display outdoors.
•Do not bend, crimp or otherwise damage the power cord.
•Do not use the display in high temperature, humid, dusty, or oily areas.
•If display glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle with care.
•Allow adequate ventilation around the display, so that heat can properly dissipate. Do not block
ventilated openings or place the display near a radiator or other heat sources.
•The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from the power
supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power outlet, which is easily-accessible.
•Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.
•Please clean the ventilation holes on the back of the display at least once a year to remove any
dust or dirt.
•Do not use the display under rapid temperature and humidity change condition or avoid cold air
from air-conditioning outlet directly, as it may shorten the lifetime of the display or cause
condensation. If condensation happens, let the display stand unplugged until there is no
condensation.
•The touch panel glass is not safety glass and is not laminated. As with other glass, the touch
panel glass may break into sharp pieces if misused, dropped, or otherwise subjected to a
substantial shock. If touch panel glass happens to break, please use care to avoid injury.
•DO NOT tap the monitor with hard or pointed objects, such as a pen or pencil.
Safety Information | 7
RECOMMENDED USE
•For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.
•Position the display at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and
reflections.
•Clean the display surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solution
or glass cleaner.
•Adjust the display’s brightness, contrast and sharpness controls to enhance readability.
•Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image
persistence (after image effects).
Ergonomics
To realize the maximum ergonomic benefits, the following is recommended:
•Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.
•Use the preset Color Setting.
•Use non-interlaced signals.
•Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce
eye fatigue due to insufficient contrast.
•Suitable for entertainment purposes at controlled luminous environments, to avoid disturbing
reflections from the screen.
Cleaning the LCD Panel
•When the liquid crystal panel is dusty, please gently wipe with a soft cloth.
•Do not rub the LCD panel with hard material.
•Do not apply pressure to the LCD surface.
•Do not use OA cleaner as it will cause deterioration or discolor on the LCD surface.
Cleaning the Cabinet
•Unplug the power supply
•Gently wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth
•To clean the cabinet, dampen the cloth with a neutral detergent and water, wipe the cabinet
and follow with a dry cloth.
NOTE
DO NOT clean with benzene thinner, alkaline detergent, alcoholic system detergent, glass
cleaner, wax, polish cleaner, soap powder, or insecticide. Rubber or vinyl should not be in
contact with the cabinet for an extended period of time. These types of fluids and materials can
cause the paint to deteriorate, crack or peel.

Features of Your Display
IMAGE FEATURES
Advanced Color Control: Adjust the colors of your screen image and customize the color
accuracy of your display to a wide variety of standards.
Six-Axis Color Control: Utilizes six-axis color control with the sRGB color control. Six-axis color
control allows color adjustments via six axes (R, G, B, C, M and Y) rather than through the typical
three axes (R, G and B).
sRGB Color Control: sRGB is a color management standard which allows for color matching on
computer displays and other peripherals. The sRGB standard provides the display with a uniform
color profile. This assures that the colors shown on the display are exactly the same as a printed
color output (with an operating system supporting sRGB and an sRGB printer). This allows you to
adjust the colors on your screen and customize the color accuracy of your display to uniform
accuracy across devices.
OSD (On-Screen-Display) Controls: The OSD Menu allows you to quickly and easily adjust all
elements of your screen image via simple to use on-screen menus.
FullScan Capability: Uses the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly expanding
image size.
USAGE FEATURES
Plug and Play: The Microsoft® solution with the Windows® operating system facilitates setup and
installation by allowing the display to send its capabilities (such as screen size and resolutionsupport) directly to your computer, automatically optimizing display performance.
VESA Standard (FDMIv1) Mounting Interface: Connect your display to any VESA standard
(FDMIv1) third party mounting arm or bracket. Dealer recommends using a mounting interface that
complies with TÜV-GS and/or UL1678 standard in North America.
Self-Diagnosis Feature: If an internal error should occur, a failure state will be enacted and an
error LED will illuminate.
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): HDCP is a system for preventing illegal
copying of video data sent over a digital signal. If you are unable to view material via the digital
input, this does not necessarily mean the display is not functioning properly. There may be cases
in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might not be displayed due to the content’s
creator registering with Digital Content Protection, LLC.
POWER FEATURES
IPM (Intelligent Power Manager) System: Provides innovative power-saving methods that allow
the display to shift to a lower power consumption level when on but not in use, saving two-thirds of
your display’s energy costs, reducing emissions and lowering the air conditioning costs of the
workplace.
Reduced Carbon Footprint: Provides superior image quality while being more energy-efficient
and reducing environmental impact than previous models.

NOTE
Image Persistance: Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon
known as Image Persistence. Image Persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a
previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT monitors, image persistence in LCD
monitors is not permanent, but constant images being displayed for a long period of time should
be avoided.
To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was
displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image
remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.
As with all personal display devices, dealer recommends displaying moving images and using a
moving “Anti-Image Retention” at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the
monitor when not in use.
Please set Anti-Image Retention, Clock and Scheduler functions to further reduce the risk of
Image persistence.

WEEE Mark (European Directive 2012/19/EU)
Disposing of your used product: In the European Union
EU-wide legislation as implemented in each Member State requires that used electrical and
electronic products carrying the mark (left) must be disposed of separately from normal household
waste. This includes monitors and electrical accessories, such as signal cables or power cords.
When you dispose of such products, please follow the guidance of your local authority or ask the
shop where you purchased the product, or if applicable, follow applicable legislation or agreement
you may have. The mark on electrical and electronic products may only apply to the current
European Union Member States.

If you wish to dispose of used electrical and electronic products outside the European Union,
please contact your local authority and ask for the correct method of disposal.
For EU: The crossed-out wheeled bin implies that used batteries should not be put to
the general household waste! There is a separate collection system for used batteries,
to allow proper treatment and recycling in accordance with legislation.
According the EU directive 2006/66/EC, the battery can't be disposed improperly. The
battery shall be separated to collect by local service.
