Precautions

● The monitor may be damaged if placed too near a source of heat. Be aware of the location of radiators, cookers, open fires etc.

- Do not cover the slots and openings on the back or top of the cabinet as the monitor requires ventilation. The monitor should be located in a well-ventilated room to prevent the possibility of overheating.

- Do not allow sharp objects such as knives, pens, or pencils near the screen. If such objects touch the screen, the LCD panel will be permanently scratched.

- When cleaning this monitor, disconnect it from the electric socket to avoid any danger of electrocution. A soft, lint-free cloth should be used to clean the outside of the monitor. A cloth very slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution will clean stubborn stains. Keep liquids away from the display screen, including sprays. Do not spray liquid directly - it is best to lightly spray on to a cloth and wipe. If liquid gets inside the monitor it can cause electrical shock and/or damage to the unit.

- If you encounter a problem, please check the "Troubleshooting" section first. If this does not resolve the problem do not attempt to repair the monitor by yourself; opening or removing covers can lead to injury or death through electrocution among other hazards. Please contact a qualified engineer if you find the troubleshooting section does not help.

SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS

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

NOTES

- 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 screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may include blemishes of 0.01% or less such as a missing pixel or a pixel lit all of the time.

- Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after switching the image, when the same image is displayed for hours. In this case, the screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or turning off the Power Switch for hours.
