RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and servicing instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
Unpacking your Monitor
Please make sure the following items are included with
your computer monitor:
Please read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your
computer monitor.
Before connecting the AC power
1
cord to an outlet, make sure the
voltage designation on your monitor corresponds to the local electrical supply.
Never insert anything metallic into
2
the monitor openings. Doing so
may create the danger of electric
shock.
To avoid electric shock, never
3
touch the inside of the monitor.
Only a qualified technician should
open the monitor’s case.
Never use your monitor if the
4
power cord has been damaged.
Do not allow anything to rest on
the power cord, and keep the cord
away from where people could
trip over it.
Be sure to hold the plug, not the
5
cord, when disconnecting the
monitor from an electric socket.
Openings in the monitor cabinet
6
are provided for ventilation. To
prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the monitor
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft
surface. Doing so may block the
ventilation openings in the bottom
of the cabinet. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other
enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
Put your monitor in a location with
7
low humidity and a minimum of
dust. Avoid places like damp
basements or dusty hallways.
Do not expose the monitor to rain
8
or use it near water (in kitchens,
next to swimming pools, etc.). If
the monitor accidentally gets wet,
unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately. You can
clean the monitor with a damp
cloth when necessary, but be sure
to unplug the monitor first.
Place the monitor on a solid sur-
9
face and treat it carefully. The
screen is made of glass and can
be damaged if dropped or sharply
hit.
Locate your monitor near an easily
10
accessible AC outlet.
If your monitor does not operate
11
normally – in particular, if there
are any unusual sounds or smells
coming from it – unplug it immediately and contact an authorized
dealer or service center.
High temperatures can cause
12
problems. Don’t use your monitor
in direct sunlight, and keep it away
from heaters, stoves, fireplaces,
and other sources of heat.
Unplug the monitor when it is
13
going to be left unused for an
extended period of time.
Unplug your monitor from the AC
14
outlet before any service.

PowerSaver
This monitor has a built-in power management system
called PowerSaver. This system saves energy by switching your monitor into a low-power mode when it has not
been used for a certain amount of time. The available
modes are “On,” “Standby,” “Suspend,” and “Off.”
This system operates with a VESA DPMS compliant
video card installed in your computer. You use a software
utility installed on your computer to set up this feature.
See the table below for details.
NOTE: This monitor automatically returns to normal operation when horizontal and vertical sync return. This
occurs when you move the computer's mouse or press a
key on the keyboard.
This monitor is EPAENERGY STAR®compliant and NUTEK
compliant when used with a computer equipped with
VESA DPMS functionality. If your computer system cannot support a display power management function, you
can purchase an optional DPMSsoftware program to
enable the power saving function. Please contact
Samsung or your dealer for more information.
For energy conservation, turn your monitor OFF when it is
not needed, or when leaving it unattended for long periods.
