Safety Precautions
Avoid placing the monitor, or any other heavy object, on the power cord to prevent it from fire or
electrical shock.
Do not expose the monitor to rain, excessive moisture, or dust to avoid fire or shock hazard.
Do not cover the slots or openings of the monitor for proper heat dissipation.
Always put the monitor in a place where there is adequate ventilation.
For optimal viewing avoid placing the monitor against a bright background or where sunlight or other
light sources may reflect on the face of the monitor. Place the monitor just below eye level.
Handle with care when transporting the monitor.
Do not touch the screen except when lightly cleaning it with a soft cloth.
For some individuals, prolonged use of a stereoscopic monitor may cause discomfort. Take a break
from stereo viewing if you sense eye fatigue or other symptoms. Individuals who are unaccustomed
to using stereoscopic 3D monitors may require a period of adaptation.
Cleaning Your Monitor
Please carefully follow the guidelines below when cleaning the monitor.
Always unplug the monitor before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen and cabinet front and sides.
About Power Cable
Check first to make sure that the power cord you use is the correct type required for your area.
This monitor has a universal power supply that allows operation in either 100/120V AC or 220/240 V
AC voltage area. No user-adjustment is required.
Plug one end of the power cord to the AC Inlet, plug another end to a proper AC outlet.
For unit using at 120 V AC: Use a UL Listed Cord Set, Type SVT wire and plug rated 10 A/125 V.
For unit using at 220/240 V AC (outside of U.S.): Use a Cord Set consisting of H05VV-F cord and plug
rated 10 A, 250 V. The cord set should have the appropriate safety approvals for the country In which
the equipment will be installed.

Use the four holes (A), (B), (C), and (D) to attach the swing arm or other mounting fixture to the back of
the monitor with screws (not supplied).
Note: The wall-mount uses the 100mm x 100mm spacing standard.
Please use M 4mm x 10mm (L) Screw for this application.
6. Follow the instructions included with the mounting fixture to ensure that the monitor is safely attached.
The four threaded holes that are on the back of the panel are compliant with the VESA standard for

Troubleshooting
Before sending your LCD monitor for servicing, please check the troubleshooting list below to
see if you can self-diagnose the problem.
Problems Current Status Remedy
Using OSD, adjust brightness and contrast to
maximum or reset to their default settings.
Check the power switch.
Check if AC power cord is properly connected to the
monitor.
Check if video signal cable is properly connected to
the monitor.
Check if the power of computer system is ON.
Check if the specification of graphics adapter and
monitor is in compliance which may be causing the
input signal frequency mismatch.
Using OSD, adjust RESOLUTION, CLOCK, CLOCKPHASE, H-POSITION and V-POSITION with nonstandard signals.
Using OSD, in case of missing full-screen image,
please select other resolution or other vertical refresh
timing.
Wait for a few seconds after adjusting the size of the
image before changing or disconnecting the signal
cable or powering OFF the monitor.
Cycle power on-off.
Pixel that is permanently off is a natural defect that
can occur in LCD technology.
Reset the monitor to Factory Settings.
Reset the monitor to Factory Settings.
Perform monitor self-test feature check and determine
if these lines are also in self-test mode.
Check for bent or broken pins in the video cable
connector.
Do not perform any troubleshooting steps.
