please contact your dealer immediately.
• The slots and openings in the back and on the top of the casing are
for ventilation purposes. Do not block these openings. Unless there is
proper ventilation, do not place this product on the top of or near the
radiator or heat source.
• This monitor should only use the types of power supply indicated on
the label. If you do not know the type of power supply in your home,
please contact your dealer or local power company.
• Use a suitable power plug meeting your local power standards.
• Do not overload power strips or extension cords. Overload can cause
fires or electric shocks.
• Avoid dust, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the
monitor in any possibly damp area. Place the monitor on a stable
surface.
• In case of thunderstorm or when not in use for a long time, the device's
power cord should be unplugged. Doing so can prevent damage to the
monitor due to voltage surge.
• Do not insert any foreign objects into or spray any liquid into the
opening on the monitor casing.
• In order to ensure normal operation, the monitor should only be used
together with the computers listed in UL, whose outlets are properly

Maintenance and cleaning
• Before lifting or repositioning your monitor, it is best to unplug the
cables and power cord. Use a correct lifting method to place the
monitor. When lifting or carrying the monitor, grasp the edge of the
monitor. Do not lift the monitor through the base or cable.
• Cleaning. Turn off the power of the monitor and unplug the power
cable from it. Use a linen-free and non-abrasive cloth to clean the
monitor surface. Wet the cloth with neutral detergent and wipe stains
from the monitor.
• Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol or acetone. Use a
special cleaner for LCDs. Do not spray the cleaning agent directly on
the screen, or the cleaning agent may get into the monitor and cause
an electric shock.
The following phenomena are normal for the monitor:
• Due to the characteristics of fluorescent lamps, the screen may flash
when used for the first time. Turn off the power switch, and then turn it
on again, confirming that such flashing has disappeared.
• You may find a slightly uneven brightness on the screen, which is
related to the desktop pattern you use.
• After the same image is displayed for a few hours, there may be a
previous screen image left displayed when switching images. The
screen will slowly restore, or you can turn off the power switch for
several hours.
• When the screen goes black or flashes, or is unable to continue
working, please contact your dealer or the Service Center for repair.
Do not repair the screen yourself!
