Plug and Play Capability

You can install the monitor in any Plug and Play-compatible system. The monitor automatically provides the computer system with its Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the system can configure itself and optimize the monitor settings. Most monitor installations are automatic; you can select different settings, if desired.

Caring for your Monitor

CAUTION: Read and follow the Safety Instruction before cleaning the monitor.

CAUTION: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor from the electrical outlet.

• To clean your antistatic screen, slightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the antistatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.
• Use a slightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the plastics. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the plastics
• If you notice a white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth. This white powder occurs during the shipping of the monitor.
• Handle your monitor with care as darker-colored plastics may scratch and snow white scuff marks more than lighter-colored monitor.
• To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and power off your monitor when not in use.

CAUTION: Safety Instruction

CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.

Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:

• To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure that the voltage selection switch on the power supply for the computer is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location:
  o 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as Japan, South Korea (also 220 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz)), and Taiwan.
  o 230 volts (V)/50 hertz (Hz) in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
  Always be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.

NOTE: This monitor does not need or have a voltage selection switch for setting the AC voltage input. It will automatically accept any AC input voltage defined in the "Electrical Specifications" section.

• Do not store or use the LCD monitor in locations that are exposed to heat, direct sunlight, or extreme cold.
• Avoid moving the LCD monitor between locations with large temperature differences.
• Do not subject the LCD monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions. For example, do not place the LCD monitor inside a car trunk.
• Do not store or use the LCD monitor in locations exposed to high humidity or dusty environment.
• Do not allow water or other liquids to spill on or into the LCD monitor
• Keep flat panel monitor in room temperature conditions. Excessive cold or hot conditions can have an adverse effect on the liquid crystal of the display.
• Never insert anything metallic into the monitor openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock.
  • To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the monitor case.
• Never use your monitor if the power cable has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Keep the power cable away from where people could trip over it.
• Be sure to grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the monitor from an electric socket.
• Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Avoid using the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface, as doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you place the monitor in a bookcase or an enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation and air flow.
• Place your monitor in a location with low humidity and minimum dust. Avoid places similar to a damp basement or dusty hallway.
• Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, next to swimming pools, etc.). If the monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and

contact an authorized dealer immediately. You can clean the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, being sure to unplug the monitor first.

• Place the monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or hit sharply
• Locate your monitor near an easily accessible electric outlet.
• If your monitor does not operate normally - in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it - unplug it immediately and contact an authorized dealer or service center.
• Do not attempt to remove the back cover, as you will be exposed to an electrical shock hazard. The back cover should only be removed by qualified service personnel.
• High temperatures can cause problems. Don't use your monitor in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat.
• Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.
• Unplug your monitor from the electric outlet before any service is performed.
• Hg Lamp(s) inside this product contains mercury and must be recycled or disposed of according to local, state or federal laws. For more information, Go Or contact the electronic industries alliance: http://www.eiae.org for more information.
