Safety Instructions
Please read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer
monitor:
To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the
•
power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your
location:
— 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan
— 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
Also be sure your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in
your location.
Never insert anything metallic into the monitor openings. Doing so may create the
•
danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified techni-
•
cian should open the monitor’s case.
Never use your monitor if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow anything to
•
rest on the power cord, and keep the cord away from where people could trip over it.
Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the monitor from an elec-
•
tric socket.
Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating,
•
these openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the monitor on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Doing so may block the ventilation openings in the
bottom of the cabinet. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed
space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
Put your monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust. Avoid places
•
like damp basements or dusty hallways.
Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, next to swimming
•
pools, etc.). If the monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized
dealer immediately. You can clean the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, but
be sure to unplug the monitor first.
Place the monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass
•
and can be damaged if dropped or sharply hit.
Locate your monitor near an easily accessible AC outlet.
•
If your monitor does not operate normally – in particular, if there are any unusual
•
sounds or smells coming from it – unplug it immediately and contact an authorized
dealer or service center.

E828fiW.book Page iv Thursday, July 2, 1998 7:51 PM
High temperatures can cause problems. Don’t use your monitor in direct sunlight, and
•
keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat.
Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.
•
Unplug your monitor from the AC outlet before any service.
•
Polish Center for Testing and Certification
Notice
The equipment should draw power from a socket with an attached protection circuit (a
three-prong socket). All equipment that works together (computer, monitor, printer, and so
on) should have the same power supply source.
The phasing conductor of the room’s electrical installation should have a reserve shortcircuit protection device in the form of a fuse with a nominal value no larger than 16
amperes (A).
To completely switch off the equipment, the power supply cable must be removed from
the power supply socket, which should be located near the equipment and easily
accessible.
A protection mark “B” confirms that the equipment is in compliance with the protection
usage requirements of standards PN-93/T-42107 and PN-89/E-06251.

Plug and Play
Our adoption of the new VESA® plug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time
consuming setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system
without the usual hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure
itself for use with your monitor. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its
Extended Display Identification (EDID) data using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so
the PC system can automatically configure itself and optimize the monitor settings. If
desired, the user can select different settings, but in most cases, monitor installation is
automatic.

Maintenance of Your Monitor
WARNING: To avoid risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the monitor cabinet. The unit is not user-serviceable. User maintenance is restricted to cleaning
as explained below:
Unplug the monitor from the power outlet before cleaning.
To clean your antistatic screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water or mild
•
detergent. If possible, use a special screen cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the
antistatic coating.
To clean the monitor cabinet, use a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent.
•
Wipe off stubborn stains from the cabinet or screen with a cloth lightly dampened in
•
alcohol (methyl, ethyl or isopropyl). Do not use benzine, thinner, ammonia, abrasive
cleaners, or compressed air.
Monitor Self Test
Your monitor provides a self test feature which allows you to check if your monitor is functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor
screen remains dark and the power indicator is blinking, use the following steps to perform
the monitor self test:
1. Turn off both your computer and the monitor.
2. Unplug the video cable from the computer or video card.
3. Turn on the monitor.
If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a white box with a red border and
black text inside stating:
This box will also appear during normal operation of your system if the video cable
becomes disconnected or damaged.
4. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your
computer and monitor.
If your monitor screen remains blank after using the above procedure, check your video
controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly.
