Safety

National Conventions

The following subsections describe notational conventions used in this document.

Notes, Cautions, and Warnings

Throughout this guide, blocks of text may be accompanied by an icon and printed in bold type or in italic type.

These blocks are notes, cautions, and warnings, and they are used as follows:

NOTE: A NOTE indicates important information that helps you make better use of your computer system.

CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the

problem.

WARNING: A WARNING indicates the potential for bodily harm and tells you how to avoid the problem.Some

warnings may appear in alternate formats and may be unaccompanied by an icon. In such cases, the specific

presentation of the warning is mandated by regulatory authority.

Power

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 supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will

fit only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug,

have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the grounded plug.

Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long periods of time. This will protect the

monitor from damage due to power surges.

Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate

configured receptacles marked between 100-240V AC, Min. 5A.

The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

For use only with the attached power adapter (Output: 20Vdc, 6.0A)

Manufacturers: TPV ELECTRONICS（FUJIAN）CO., LTD. Model: ADPC20120

Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a

person and cause serious damage to this product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by

the manufacturer or sold with this product. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing the product and

use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer. A product and cart combination should be moved

with care.

Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could damage circuit parts causing a fire or

electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.

Do not place the front of the product on the floor.

If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit

instructions.

Leave some space around the monitor as shown below. Otherwise, air-circulation may be inadequate hence

overheating may cause a fire or damage to the monitor.

See below the recommended ventilation areas around the monitor when the monitor is installed on the wall or on

the stand:

Installed with stand

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet regularly with cloth. You can use soft-detergent to wipe out the stain, instead of

strong-detergent which will cauterize the product cabinet.

When cleaning, make sure no detergent is leaked into the product. The cleaning cloth should not be too rough

as it will scratch the screen surface.

Please disconnect the power cord before cleaning the product.

Other

If the product is emitting a strange smell, sound or smoke, disconnect the power plug IMMEDIATELY and

contact a Service Center.

Make sure that the ventilating openings are not blocked by a table or curtain.

Do not engage the LCD monitor in severe vibration or high impact conditions during operation.

Do not knock or drop the monitor during operation or transportation.

Freesync2

AMD’s FreeSync2 HDR content visualization improvement involves defining a panel characteristics requirement

that produces twice the color volume of standard SDR panel and a protocol requiring the Sink Device to report the

panel’s true color chromaticities, min/max luminance, peak luminance, and supported transfer function.

Common HDR10 displays requires an application to map into generic luminance range and use industry standard

color space that can be signaled through AVI and HDR Info Frame. This in turn requires Sink to perform tone

mapping to map GPU output to actual luminance range and color gamut of the physical panel. Tone mapping by the

monitor may increases post processing latency .

The FreeSync2 can allow content to be mapped directly to the display’s native color gamut and luminance range to

preserve HDR image quality while avoiding multiple inefficient tone mapping and preserving low latencies image

update.

HDR

It is compatible with input signals in HDR10 format.

The display may automatically activate the HDR function if the player and content are compatible. Please contact

the device manufacturer and the content provider for information on the compatibility of your device and content.

Please select “OFF” for the HDR function when you have no need for automatical activation function.

Note:

1. No special setting is needed for the DisplayPort/HDMI interface in WIN10 versions lower (older) than V1703.

2. Only the HDMI interface is available and the DisplayPort interface cannot function in WIN10 version V1703.

3. 3840x2160 @50Hz /60Hz not suggestion used in PC device only for UHD player or Xbox-ones / PS4-Pro.

a. The display resolution is set to 3840*2160, and HDR is preset to ON. Under these conditions, the screen may

slightly dim, indicating HDR has been activated.

b. After entering an application, the best HDR effect can be achieved when the resolution is changed to

3840*2160 (if available).
