Safety Precautions

Read through the following Safety Precautions before using the moni­tor.

• Only use the accessories that are provided with the monitor or that

which are recommended by the manufacturer.

• Keep the plastic packaging bag for the product in a place that can-

not be reached by children.

• Before connecting the monitor to the power outlet, make sure that

the voltage rating of the power cable is compatible with the power
specication in the country where you are located.

• The power cord plug must be connected to a properly wired and

grounded power outlet.

• Do not touch the plug with wet hands, otherwise easily cause elec-

tric shock.

• Place the monitor in a stable and well-ventilated place.

• Do not place the monitor near any heat sources such as electric radi-

ators or direct sunlight.

• The holes or openings on the monitor are for ventilation. Do not cov-

er or block the ventilation holes with any objects.

• Do not use the monitor near water, drinks, or all types of liquids. Fail-

ure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the monitor.

• Make sure to unplug the monitor from the power outlet before

cleaning.

• As the screen surface is easy to be scratched, avoid touching the

surface with any hard or sharp object.

• Use a soft lint-free cloth instead of a tissue to wipe the screen. You

may use a glass cleaner to clean the monitor if required. However,
never spray the cleaner directly onto the screen.

• Disconnect the power cable if the monitor is not being used for a

long period of time.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the monitor yourself.

User Comfort Recommendations

The following are some tips for comfortable viewing of your monitor:

• Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from approximately
510 mm to 760 mm (20” to 30”).

• A general guideline is to position the monitor such that the top
of the screen is at or slightly below your eye-height when you are
comfortably seated.

• Use adequate lighting for the type of work you are performing.

• Take regular and frequent breaks (at least for 10 minutes) every half
hour.

• Be sure to periodically look away from your monitor screen and
focus on a far object for at least 20 seconds during the breaks.

• Eye exercise can help reduce eye strain. Repeat these exercises
frequently: (1) look up and down (2) slowly roll your eye (3) move
your eyes diagonally.
