FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE

THE FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND

USING THE LCD COLOUR MONITOR:

• DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. 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 qualified 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, fire or equipment failure.

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

• 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. 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.

• Do not bend power cord.

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

• If glass is broken, handle with care.

• Do not cover vent on monitor.

• If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal. 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 near other heat sources. Do not put anything on top of 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.

• Image Persistence: Image persistence is when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being displayed for a long period of time should be avoided. To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image. NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends using a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use. CAUTION 01_English 4/20/05, 11:21 AM7English-8 CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

• Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.

• Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm and no further away than 70 cm from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm.

• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away. Blink often.

• Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.

• If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.

• Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Case of persistent dirt, wipe with cloth permeated by water, ethanol, isopropyl-alcohol completely. Avoid using any cleaning solution or glass cleaner (ex Acid, Alkali and Acetone).

• Adjust the monitor’s brightness control to enhance readability.

• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

• Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head while you are typing.

• Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after-image effects).

• Get regular eye checkups. Ergonomics To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:

• Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears.

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

• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate more than 60 Hz.

• Do not use primary colour blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient contrast. Cleaning the LCD Panel Recommended cleaning of the LCD:

• To remove dust and dirt from the surface of the LCD panel, wipe gently with a soft cloth.

• Do not rub the LCD panel with rough material.

• Do not press on the surface of the LCD panel. To avoid scratches

• Do not touch LCD panel with hard objects.

• Use only a soft cloth for cleaning the surface of the LCD panel. To avoid stains

• Clean fingerprints, water drips, chemical spills and etc. from the LCD panel immediately or discoloration and spot will occur.

• If the LCD panel is rubbed with too much force, cracking may occur, which will lead to abnormalities in the display. To avoid breakage or screen trouble

• Do not push hard on the LCD panel surface.

• Do not set heavy objects on the LCD panel surface.

• Do not leave the LCD panel under constant pressure. Cleaning the Cabinet

• Unplug the power supply.
