WARNING:

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture. Dangerously high
voltages are present inside the monitor. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel only.

PRECAUTIONS

• Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,

swimming pool or in a wet basement.

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

person and cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a
mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit instructions.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure

reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not
blocked or covered. Do not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place
the monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase or
cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

• 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.

• Unplug the unit during a lighting storm or when it will not be used for long period 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.

• Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a

fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.

• Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself; opening or removing covers can expose you to

dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

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

SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS

The following symptoms are normal with LCD monitor and do not indicate a problem.

• Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during initial use. Turn off the

Power Switch and then turn it on again to make sure the flicker disappears.

• You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop pattern you use.

• The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may include blemishes of 0.01% or

less such as a missing pixel or a pixel lit all of the time.

• Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after

switching the image, when the same image is displayed for hours. In this case, the screen is
recovered slowly by changing the image or turning off the Power Switch for hours.

• If the screen suddenly flashes erratically or the backlighting fails, please contact your dealer or

service center for repair. Do not attempt to repair the monitor yourself.

PLUG AND PLAY

Plug & Play DDC2B Feature

This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD.
It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC
used, communicate additional information about its display capabilities. The DDC2B is a
bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the
DDC2B channel.

THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO VIDEO
INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE
MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.

This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics Standards
Association (VESA) and/or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The
Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK). This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy
by reducing power consumption when there is no video-input signal present. When there is no video
input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically switch to power saving
mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power supply consumption. After the video input signal is
restored, full power is restored and the display is automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to
a "Screen Saver" feature except the display is completely off. The display is restored by pressing a
key on the keyboard, or clicking the mouse.
