OPERATING SAFETY
• Never open the housing of the LCD moni-
tor/power supply! When the housing is open there
• Do not insert any objects through the slots and openings of the
monitor. This may lead to an electrical short-circuit or even fire resulting in damage to your LCD monitor.
• Do not allow children to play unattended with electrical
equipment. Children may not always correctly recognize danger.
• This LCD monitor is intended for personal use only. It not in-
tended for commercial use in a heavy industry environ-
ment.
• An injury hazard exists when the display breaks. Wear pro-

• Slots and openings in the LCD monitor are for ven-
tilation purpose. Do not cover these openings,
as this may lead to overheating.
tective gloves to pack the broken parts and send them into your
service center for proper disposal. Then wash your hands with
soap, because it is possible for chemicals to escape.
• Never exert pressure on the display. This could break the moni-
tor.

• Do not touch the display with your fingers or with sharp objects
to avoid damage.
Contact the Call Center immediately in any of the following situations. Do NOT plug in or turn on your monitor:
♦ if the power cable/power supply overheats or is damaged
♦ if liquid has gotten into the monitor
♦ if the LCD monitor is dropped or the housing damaged
REPAIR
• Leave all repairs of your LCD monitor to authorized and
qualified personnel only.
• Should a repair be necessary, please contact one of our author-
ized service partners only.
NOTES FOR SERVICE ENGINEERS
• Before opening the housing, disconnect the monitor from all
power sources and remove any connecting cables. If the moni-
tor has not been disconnected from the power outlet before being
opened, there is a danger to life through electric shock. There is
also a risk of damage to the components.
• Internal components of the LCD monitor may be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Carry out repairs in an ESD-protected
workshop. If no such workshop is available, wear an antistatic
wrist strap or touch a highly conductive metal object. We can re-
pair damage sustained by inappropriate handling for a fee.
• Use only original spare parts.

POINT OF USE
• Keep your LCD monitor and all units connected to it away from
moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight. Failure
to observe these instructions can lead to malfunctions or damage to the LCD monitor.
• Place and operate all units on a stable, level and vibra-
tion-free surface in order to avoid the LCD monitor from
falling.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
• The LCD monitor can be operated most reliably at ambient
temperatures between +41°F and +95°F (5° C to 35° C) and
at a relative humidity between 20% and 85% (without condensation).
• When switched off, the monitor can be stored most reliably be-
tween -4°F and +140°F (-20° C - +60° C), up to the maximum height of 39,000 ft (12,000 m) above sea level at a relative humidity between 10% and 85% (without condensation).
• After transporting your LCD monitor please wait until it has
assumed the ambient temperature before connecting and
switching it on. Extremely high variations in the temperature
or humidity may result in condensation forming on the inside of the LCD monitor which could cause an electrical
short-circuit.

CONNECTING
Observe the following instructions to connect your LCD monitor
properly:
POWER SUPPLY
• Do not open the power supply housing. An open
housing presents a lethal hazard from electrical
• Operate your LCD monitor only with grounded outlets with AC 100-
240V~/ 50-60 Hz. If you are not sure about the power supply at
your location, check with your power company. (Mains/Power Supply
=
HASU05K)
• Use only the power supply and power connection cable provided.
• For additional safety we recommend use of a surge protector to
protect your LCD monitor from damage resulting from voltage
surges or lightning.
shock. There are no parts inside to be cleaned or serviced.
• To remove the LCD monitor from the power supply, disconnect
the plug from the AC outlet.
• The power outlet must be in the vicinity of your LCD monitor and
within reach of the power cables. DO NOT stretch the power
cables tightly to reach a power outlet.
• You should arrange the LCD monitor cables in a manner that no
one can trip over or step on them.
• To avoid damage of cable do not place any objects or furni-
ture on the cable.
• You can adjust your LCD monitor a maximum of about 3°
downward and a maximal 20° upward (see page 13). If you at-
tempt to force the monitor further, you may damage your monitor.

STANDARDS/ELECTRO-MAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
Your monitor fulfils the requirements for electro-magnetic compatibility
and electrical safety specified in the following standards:
EN 55022, EN 55024, EN 60950, EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3
UL60950 / CAN CSA 22.2 No 60950, FCC
• When connecting ensure that Guidelines for Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) are observed.
• Provide a space of at least three feet from high-frequency and
magnetic sources of interference (television sets, loudspeakers,
mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions.
ERGONOMICS
• This monitor complies with all relevant regulations such as DIN EN ISO
9241-3, DIN EN ISO 9241-7 and DIN EN ISO 9241-8.
• For ergonomic reasons we suggest not to use dark text with a blue
background. This would cause bad readability and would increase eye
strain.
• While working with monitors you should take breaks periodically to
avoid tension and fatigue.
• In order to protect your eyes and to create a pleasant working area you
should avoid glare, reflections and strong contrasts on the screen.
For more detailed information on workplace ergonomics, see page 15.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
EN 60950
• The connection of devices is limited to equipment that complies with
EN60950 “Safety of information technology equipment” or EN60065
“Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus. Safety requirements”
• For U.S./Canadian purposes: The LCD should only be connected to
equipment which complies with UL 60950/CAN CSA 22.2 No 60950
Safety of information technology equipment.
TRANSPORT AND RECYCLING
• Keep the original packaging and use it to protect the LCD monitor
during transport or storage.

PRECAUTIONS
 Caution! There are no parts which can be ser-
viced or cleaned inside of the monitor housing.
You can increase the life of your LCD monitor by taking the following precautions:
• Before cleaning always disconnect the power line and all
connection cables.
• Do not use any solvents, caustic or gaseous cleaning
agents.
• Clean the display with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Ensure that no water droplets remain on the screen. Water
can cause permanent discoloration.
• Do not expose the screen to bright sunlight or ultraviolet
radiation.
IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using any electronic equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be taken. Following the guidelines below can reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and injury to person:
• Do not use this product near water (e.g., near a bathtub, wash
bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool).
• Avoid using a telephone/modem (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric
shock from lightning.
• Do not use the telephone/modem to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
• Use only the power cord indicated in this manual. Do not dispose
of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes
for possible special disposal instructions.
