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

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.

• 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.

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.

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 an OFF 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.
