Safety Precautions

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND
USING THE LCD COLOR MONITOR:

• DO NOT REMOVE MONITOR BACK COVER. There are no user serviceable parts inside and
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer

all servicing to qualied service personnel.

• Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.

• Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage
points, which can be harmful or fatal or may cause electric shock, re or equipment failure.

• Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or
re.

• Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the monitor may fall,

causing serious damage to the monitor.

• Do not place any objects onto the monitor and do not use the monitor outdoors.

• The inside of the uorescent tube located within the LCD monitor contains mercury. Please

follow the laws or rules of your municipality to dispose of the tube properly.

• Do not bend power cord.

• Do not use monitor in high temperature, humid, dusty, or oily areas.

• If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle with

care.

• Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor, so that heat can properly dissipate. Do not
block ventilated openings or place the monitor near a radiator or other heat sources. Do not
put anything on top of the monitor.

• The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from the power
supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power outlet, which is easily accessible.

• Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.

• Please clean the holes of back cabinet to reject dirt and dust at least once a year because of

set reliability.

• If using the cooling fan continuously, it’s recommended to wipe holes a minimum of once a
month.

• When installing the remote control batteries;

- Align the batteries according to the (+) and (-) indications inside the case.

- Align the (-) indication of the battery rst inside the case.

• Usage of other than specied head- or earphones can result in hearing loss due to excessive

sound pressures.

iii

CAUTION:

Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the monitor.

• If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

• If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.

Recommended Use

CAUTION:

• For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.

• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 5 feet away. Blink often.

• Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and
reections.

• Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, nonabrasive cloth. Avoid using any cleaning

solution or glass cleaner!

• Adjust the monitor’s brightness, contrast and sharpness controls to enhance readability.

• Avoid displaying xed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image
persistence (after image e󰀨ects).

• Get regular eye checkups.

Ergonomics

To realize the maximum ergonomic benefits, we recommend the following:

• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.

• Use the preset Color Setting.

• Use non-interlaced signals.

• Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is di󰀩cult to see and may produce
eye fatigue due to insu󰀩cient contrast.
