Safety precautions and maintenance

WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.

Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:

Unplug the monitor, if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.● Unplug the monitor, if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Wiping the screen with a dry

cloth is possible when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based liquids.

●

Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when following the instructions in this manual.

●

The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.● Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.● Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s electronics.● Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.● Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture.● When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.● If turning off the monitor by detaching power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds, then attach

the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation.

●

To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to rain or excessive moisture.

●

When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.● IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application . If a still image in high

contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave a so called "after-image" or "ghost image" in front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in the LCD technology. Most of the time the after-image will disappear gradually over a period of time after switching off the power. Be aware that the after-image symptom can not be repaired and is not covered under warranty.

●

Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when operating instructions of this manual are followed.
