MONITOR USER’S GUIDE
This user’s guide provides important information about operating your monitor.
Before using the monitor, please read this guide thoroughly, and save it for
future reference.
The information included in this publication is as accurate as possible based
on data received from manufacturer and other sources. Some information is
subject to change over time. MPC is not responsible for changes that may
occur with or without our knowledge.
PACKING LIST
Before setting up and using your monitor, examine the items in the monitor
package. If anything is missing or damaged, please contact MPC

Note: Save the original shipping carton and packing materials to transport
or ship your monitor. If you transport the monitor over long distances,
completely repackage the monitor in its original packing material.
SAFETY INFORMATION
• Do not use the monitor near standing bodies of water or in humid
envirionments.
• Set the monitor on a flat, stable surface. Do not place it on an unstable
cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it might injure a person and/or
cause serious damage to the monitor.
• When placing the monitor on a cart or stand, 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.
• The monitor is equipped with a three-prong, grounded plug (a plug with a
third pin for grounding). For safety purposes, this plug will only fit into a
grounded power outlet. If your outlet does not accommodate the threeprong plug, have an electrician install the correct type of outlet, or use an
adapter to ground the appliance safely.

• The monitor must only be connected to the AC power source as indicated
on the label. If you are unsure of the type of AC power available, ask your
local power company. Only connect this monitor to a power outlet that
matches the power requirements of this monitor.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the monitor are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not
place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. This monitor
must never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This monitor
must not be placed in a built-in enclosure of any kind unless proper
ventilation is provided.
• During a lightning storm, unplug the monitor. Also, unplug the monitor
when it will not be used for a long time. This will protect the monitor from
damage due to power surges.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading power
strips and extension cords can result in a fire or electric shock.
• Never push objects of any kind into the monitor through openings. The
objects could touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts, possibly
resulting in an electric shock or a fire hazard.
• Never spill liquid of any kind on the monitor. If this occurs, disconnect
from the power source immediately.
• Do not attempt to service the monitor yourself. Opening or removing the
monitor’s cover can expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards.
Please refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• To ensure satisfactory operation, only use the monitor with UL listed
computers that have the appropriate configured receptacles marked
between 100–240 VAC, Min. 3.5A.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not place the monitor
where people might walk on the cord.
• Do not place the monitor in direct sunlight or where it is near excessive
dust or mechanical vibration or shock.

LCD MONITOR FEATURES AND CLEANING
Monitor Features
• 19-inch (483 mm) TFT color LCD monitor
• 100mm x 100mm VESA mounting pad
• EPA EnergyStar
®
Compliant
• Ergonomic design (complies with MPRII)
• Space-saving, compact case design
• Integrated power supply
• 3-point Display position adjustment (tilt, pivot and height)
The following occurrences are normal with an LCD monitor and do not indicate
a problem.
• Due to the nature of the internal fluorescent backlights, the screen may
flicker during initial use. If this occurs, turn off the monitor and then turn it
on again, making sure the flicker disappears.
• You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the
desktop pattern you use.
• The LCD screen has an effective pixel count 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. Refer to Appendix F for additional details.
• Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an after-image or ghost of the
previous image may remain after switching the image when the same
image is displayed for a long time. In this case, you can recover the
screen slowly by changing the image or turning off the monitor for a few
hours.
• The life of the internal fluorescent backlights used in the LCD monitor is
approximately 30,000 hours. Contact MPC Technical Support or an
authorized dealer for a replacement when the screen is dark, flickering, or
not lighting up. Never attempt to replace the light yourself. Refer servicing
to qualified personnel only.
Cleaning the Monitor
To keep the monitor looking new, periodically clean the monitor’s case with a
soft cloth. As a safety precaution, always unplug the monitor before cleaning
it. Stubborn stains on the monitor’s case can be removed using a damp, dustfree cloth and a mild detergent solution. Never apply water directly to the LCD
screen. Always apply the water to the cloth first, and then wipe down the
screen. You can also purchase and use monitor wipes to clean the LCD
screen.
Caution: Never use strong solvents, such as thinner, benzene, or
abrasive cleaners because these will damage the monitor.
