Hinweise
• Aus ergonomischen Gründen wird empfohlen, die Grundfarbe Blau nicht auf dunklem Untergrund zu verwenden (schlechte Erkennbarkeit, Augenbelastung bei zu geringem Zeichenkontrast).
• Aus ergonomischen Gründen (flimmern) sollten nur Darstellungen bei Vertikalfrequenzen ab 70 Hz (ohne Zeilensprung) verwendet werden.
• Die Konvergenz des Bildes kann sich auf Grund des
Magnetfeldes am Ort der Aufstellung aus der korrekten Grundeinstellung verändern. Zur Korrektur empfiehlt es sich deshalb, die Regler an der Frontseite für Konvergenz so einzustellen, daß die getrennt sichtbaren Farblinien für Rot, Grün und Blau bei z.B. der Darstellung eines Buchstabens zur Deckung (Konvergenz) gelangen. Siehe hierzu auch die Erklärungen zu Konvergenz.

Precautions

Installation

• Prevent internal heat build-up by allowing adequate air circulation. Do not place the monitor on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the monitor near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
• Do not place the monitor near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power lines.

Handling the LCD screen

• Bright points of light (red, blue or green) may appear on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction. The LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and more than 99.99 % of the picture element is intact. However, some of the picture element may not appear or some of the picture element may appear constantly.
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the monitor by a window.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a
heavy object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
• If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the screen returns to
normal.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual
image may appear. The residual image will eventually disappear.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.

Maintenance

• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched
picture tube.
• Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass
cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an antistatic solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen's coating.

Transportation

• When you transport this monitor, grip the bottom of the screen firmly with both hands. If you drop the monitor, you may be injured or the monitor may be damaged.
• When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the original carton and packing materials.
