Caring for your LED Monitor

The LED color monitor is a sensitive piece of electronic equipment. Proper care can prevent accidentally damaging the LED panel or the monitor itself. By following these guidelines you can ensure many years of trouble free use.

1. The LED monitor's plastic casing and LED glass panel can be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth. Never use scrub pads or other cleaning materials with abrasive surfaces to clean your LED monitor!

a. A slightly damp cloth or newspaper may be used to clean the glass plate of fingerprints or smudges. b. For the plastic case, a mild detergent may be used to clean the surface. However, you should ensure not to use too much detergent or water as this could leak into the interior of the casing.

1. Do NOT use cleaning fluids based on alcohol, methylated spirit, or ammonia. The glass plate has a hard surface coating to prevent scratches. However, the use of strong chemical cleaning agents may damage this coating. Use only a mild soap or detergent and water or specially formulated cleaners made for cleaning glass panels.
2. Avoid direct contact with water or other liquids. Never use the LED monitor in or around areas where water may pose a potential hazard to normal operation.
3. Only use the LED monitor indoors, and avoid monitor contact with oil, vapor, steam, moisture and dust. The LED monitor should be used in a clean and low humidity environment.
4. Keep the LED monitor away from heaters or other heat sources such as lighting equipment or direct sunlight.
5. Keep the LED monitor away from sharp object to touch the screen like fingernail and pencil.

WARNING: Any unauthorized modification to this equipment could result in the revocation of the authorization to operate the equipment and void the product warranty.
