Safety Instructions

Before connecting the AC power cord

1

to an outlet, make sure the voltage
designation on your monitor corre­sponds to the local electrical supply.

Never insert anything metallic into the

2

monitor openings. Doing so may cre­ate the danger of electric shock.

To avoid electric shock, never touch

3

the inside of the monitor. Only a quali­fied technician should open the
monitor’s case.

Never use your monitor if the power

4

cord has been damaged. Do not allow
anything to rest on the power cord,
and keep the cord away from areas
where people can trip over it.

Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord,

5

when disconnecting the monitor from
an electric socket.

Openings in the monitor cabinet are

6

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 low

7

humidity and a minimum of dust.

Do not expose the monitor to rain or

8

use it near water (in kitchens, near
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 surface

9

and treat it carefully. The screen is
made of glass and can be damaged if
dropped, hit or scratched.

Locate your monitor near an easily

10

accessible AC outlet.

If your monitor does not operate nor-

11

mally – 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 prob-

12

lems. 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 going to

13

be left unused for an extended period
of time.

Unplug your monitor from the AC out-

14

let before any service.

CAUTION

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

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 monitor automatically returns to normal operation when you move the computer’s mouse or press a
key on the keyboard. For energy conservation, turn your monitor OFF when it is not needed, or when leav­ing it unattended for long periods. The PowerSaver system operates with a VESA DPMS compliant video
card installed in your computer. Use a software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature.

Note:

This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur­suant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio fre­quency energy and, if not installed and used in accor­dance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a par­ticular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television receptions, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encour­aged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:

■

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

■

Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.

■

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is con­nected.

■

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV tech­nician for help.

User Information

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
If necessary, consult your dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
