Guide to symbols

The symbols below are used in this manual to indicate where there is risk of injury or damaging devices or to indicate especially useful information:

DANGER! Indicates risk of injury. When not following instructions, severe injury or death may result.

ATTENTION! Indicates possible damage to devices. When not following instructions, devices may be heavily damaged.

IMPORTANT! Indicates hints on operation and other useful information.

100% Recyclable

We are all responsible for the environment: this manual was printed from front to back on paper that was produced without chlorine.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Note on monitor placement

• The setup location must not be extremely hot, cold, humid or dusty. Heat and cold can impair the functionality of the monitor. Humidity and dust can cause the monitor to fail.
• Don't place the monitor near heaters such as radiators or the like. Don't expose the monitor to mechanical vibrations or jarring.
• Position the monitor so that no direct light or sun strikes the screen, which could cause reflections that reduce the quality of the image.

Notes on power connection

Only use the power cord designated for use in your country.

The wall outlet should be within easy reach. Pulling the power plug is the only way to disconnect the monitor from the power source.

• This monitor is ENERGY STAR®-compatible. MAXDATA is an ENERGY STAR® partner and guarantees that this device complies with the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for optimizing power consumption.

Safety instructions for operation

The power cord must not be damaged. Do not place any objects on the power cord and make sure it does not have any knots. To unplug the cord, always pull on the plug and not on the cable itself.

• Avoid covering the ventilation slots. Air circulation is necessary to prevent the monitor from overheating. If the air circulation is restricted it could cause fire or damage the monitor.
• Do not use any solvents to clean the monitor, as the housing could be damaged. For more information about cleaning the monitor, please see "Caring for Your LCD Monitor".

Never open the monitor housing yourself. There is a danger of electric shock and other hazards. The monitor may only be opened and serviced by qualified professionals.

Note on resolution

All resolutions provided by the graphics card that deviate from the physical resolution of the panel are adjusted by interpolation. This can impair the image quality.

Notes on ergonomics

In order to relieve your eyes, neck and shoulder muscles when looking at the screen, we recommend that you maintain a distance of 50 to 75~cm between the monitor and your eyes. In addition, you can relax your eyes by regularly focusing on an object at a distance of about 6m . To achieve an ergonomic sitting position, your elbows, pelvis, knees and ankles should form a right angle.

CARING FOR YOUR LCD MONITOR

• First, unplug the power cord from the wall socket.

• If the LCD screen is extremely dirty, clean it with a moist cloth. Use only warm water and then wipe the monitor dry. Solvents or harsh cleaners can damage the housing. Clean the display surface only with a soft cloth, otherwise you may damage the display's coating.

• If the monitor is only slightly dirty, clean it using a soft, dry and antistatic cloth.

• The LCD monitor's screen surface is very sensitive. Please avoid any contact with the surface (finger, pencil etc.) and be especially cautious during transportation since jolts and shocks can cause the screen to become scratched (always use the original packaging).

WALL MOUNTING

The Belinea monitor is shipped with the standard desktop configuration. However, you can optionally mount the device on a wall or on a monitor swivel arm (optional accessory). Please follow the corresponding instructions (4-hole assembly with a spacing of 4 × 4 inches ( 100 × 100 ~mm ) according to the international VESA FDMI standard).

UNPACKING

Carefully lift the monitor out of the packaging and make sure that all components are included (see fig. 1).

Save the original box and packing material in case you have to ship or transport the monitor.

To set up the device, you must fit the monitor base together. You can adjust the height of the base. When the base of the monitor is extended, you can tilt the monitor 90^ (Pivot function).
