FCC Class B Radio Frequency Interference Statement WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS)

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

_AMP(S) INSIDE THIS PRODUCT CONTAIN MERCURY AND MUST BERECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL LAWS. FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT THE ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES ALLIANCE AT WWW.EIAE.ORG. FOR LAMP SPECIFIC DISPOSAL INFORMATION CHECK WWW.LAMPRECYCLE.ORG.

NOTICE:

1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
2. Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in order to comply with the emission limits.
3. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modification to this equipment. It is the responsibilities of the user to correct such interference.

WARNING:

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture. Dangerously high voltages are present inside the monitor. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

PRECAUTIONS

• Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
• Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit instructions.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Do not install the monitor in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, or excessive dust or mechanical vibration or shock.
• The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
• The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug, have an electrician install the correct outlet or ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
• Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.
• Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself. Opening or removing covers can expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V AC. Min. 5A.
• The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

GENERAL NOTES

SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS

The following symptoms are normal with LCD monitor and do not indicate a problem.

• Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during initial use. Turn off the Power Switch and then turn it on again to make sure the flicker disappears.
• You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop pattern you use.
• The LCD panel used in this monitor is a very high technology product with 6,912,000 thin film transistors giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of red, green, blue, white or black. Please note that this does not indicate a defective panel.
• Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an after-image of the previous screen may remain after switching the image when the same image has been displayed for a long time. The monitor will slowly recover from this.
• LCD monitors have a fixed size & number of pixels. Due to this, an interpolation is necessary to operate the monitor in a relation below it's native resolution which may slightly degrade the display quality. Therefore, it is highly recommended to operate the monitor at its native resolution of 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz.

OTHER NOTES

• The screen surface is very soft. Do not rub, touch or tap the screen surface with sharp object such as pen or pencil. This contact may scratch or damage the screen. These damages are not covered under the warranty.
• Turn your computer OFF before installing your new monitor. Refer to your computer manual for the proper shut down procedure.
• Save the original shipping carton and packing materials, as they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your monitor.
• For maximum protection, repackage your monitor as it was originally packed at the factory.
• To keep the monitor looking new, periodically clean the case & surface of the TFT-LCD panel with a soft non-fiberous cloth lightly dampened with a glass cleaner. Do not use any paper products to clean the screen. Never spay the glass cleaner directly on the monitor. Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the case & panel. As a safety precaution, always unplug the monitor before cleaning it.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT (FAQ) (cont.)

CLOCK (pixel frequency) controls the number of pixels scanned by one horizontal sweep. If the frequency is not correct, the screen shows vertical stripes and the picture has not correct width.

FOCUS adjusts the phase of the pixel clock signal. With a wrong phase adjustment the picture has horizontal disturbances in light picture.

For FOCUS and CLOCK adjustment use "dot-pattern" or win 95/98 shut-down mode pattern.
