PRECAUTIONS

• Refer all work related to the installation of this apparatus to qualified service personnel or system installers.

• Do not block the ventilation opening or slots on the cover.

To prevent the apparatus from overheating, place it at least 5 cm {2 inches} away from the wall.

• Do not drop metallic parts through slots.

This could permanently damage the apparatus. Turn the power off immediately and contact qualified service personnel for service.

• Do not attempt to disassemble the apparatus.

To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Contact qualified service personnel for maintenance.

• Do not strike or give a strong shock to the unit.

It may cause damage or allow water to enter the unit.

• Do not expose the apparatus to water or moisture. Do not try to operate it in wet areas.

Take immediate action if the apparatus gets wet. Turn the power off and refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Moisture can damage the apparatus and also cause electric shocks.

• Do not mount the monitor on places subject to constant vibrations. That may cause trouble or damage.

• Use only the supplied power cord or AC adapter.

• The surface of the LCD Panel is applied by special coating.

Do not point hard objects and wipe by abrasive material. It can cause scratches and damages on the LCD screen.

• The LCD panel is made from a very precise technology.

Some bright and dark spots may exist on the monitor screen. It is operating normally if there are 99.99 % active pixels.

• Image persistence may appear on the LCD after a static image with strong contrast is continuously displayed.

Such a phenomenon is caused by an LCD characteristic. The persistent image will disappear after a period of time.

• Cleaning

Turn the power off when cleaning the unit. Otherwise it may cause injuries. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the apparatus body. Use a dry cloth to clean the apparatus when it is dirty. When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently.

• Do not operate the apparatus beyond its specified temperature, humidity, or power source ratings.

Use the apparatus under conditions where temperatures are between 0 °C and + 40 °C {+32 °F to +104 °F}, and humidity below 90 %. The input power source for this apparatus is 100 V to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

* Supplied AC power cord supports 120 V AC only. To

use this product with larger power source, replace the power cord.

• Clear a space of more than 5 cm {2 inches} from both sides, the top, the bottom and the rear of the units.
