Before connecting the AC power cord to
the DC adapter outlet, make sure the
voltage designation of the DC adapter
corresponds to the local electrical supply.
2
Never insert anything metallic into the
cabinet openings of the Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) monitor; doing so may
create the danger of electric shock.
3
To avoid electric shock, never touch the
inside of the LCD monitor. Only a
qualified technician should open the
case of the LCD monitor.
4
Never use your LCD monitor if the
power 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.
5
Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord,
when disconnecting the LCD monitor
from an electric socket.
6
Openings in the LCD monitor cabinet
are provided for ventilation. To prevent
overheating, these openings should not
be blocked or covered. Also, avoid
using the LCD 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
LCD monitor in a bookcase or some
other enclosed space, be sure to
provide adequate ventilation.
7
Put your LCD monitor in a location with
low humidity and a minimum of dust.
8
Do not expose the LCD monitor to rain
or use it near water (in kitchens, near
swimming pools, etc.). If the LCD
monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it
and contact an authorized dealer
immediately. You can clean the LCD
monitor with a damp cloth when
necessary, but be sure to unplug the
LCD monitor first.
9
Place the LCD monitor on a solid
surface and treat it carefully. The
screen is made of thin glass with a
plastic front surface and can be
damaged if dropped, hit or scratched.
Do not clean the front panel with
keton-type materials (e.g., acetone),
ethyl alcohol, toluene, ethyl acid,
methyl, or chloride – these may
damage the panel.
10
Locate your LCD monitor near an easily
accessible AC outlet.
11
If your LCD monitor does not operate
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.
12
High temperature can cause problems.
Don’t use your LCD monitor in direct
sunlight, and keep it away from
heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other
sources of heat.
13
Unplug the LCD monitor when it is
going to be left unused for an extended
period of time.
14
Unplug your LCD monitor from the AC
outlet before any service.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER
(OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Plug and Play
Our adoption of the new VESA
®
Plug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time
consuming setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system
without the usual hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure
itself for use with your display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended
Display Identification (EDID) data using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the PC
system can automatically configure itself to use the flat panel display. If your PC system
needs a video driver, following the instructions given below according to the operating
system your computer uses.
Installing the Video Driver
