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.
Never insert anything metallic into the openings in the cabinet of the liquid cristal display
(TFT-LCD) monitor; doing so may create the danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the TFT-LCD. Only a qualified technician
should open the case of the TFT-LCD.
Never use your TFT-LCD 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.
Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the TFT-LCD from an electric
socket.
Openings in the TFT-LCD cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these
openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the TFT-LCD 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 TFT-LCD in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to
provide adequate ventilation.
Put your TFT-LCD in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust.
Do not expose the TFT-LCD to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, near swimming pools,
etc.). If the TFT-LCD accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized dealer
immediately. You can clean the TFT-LCD with a damp cloth when necessary, but be sure to
unplug the TFT-LCD first.

Place the TFT-LCD 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.
Locate your TFT-LCD near an easily accessible AC outlet.
If your TFT-LCD 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.
High temperature can cause problems. Don’t use your TFT-LCD in direct sunlight, and keep
it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat.
Unplug the TFT-LCD when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.
Unplug your TFT-LCD from the AC outlet before any service.

you are comfortably seated.
Viewing angle
Tilt the screen until you feel comfortable to work with your monitor. The best viewing angle
can be obtained via AutoAngle™ provided by enclosed Colorific® software. Please install
the program to get the best viewing angle adjustment..

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 data (EDID) 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, follow the instructions given below according to the operating system
your computer uses.
