4 Tips and Troubleshooting

This chapter includes information on the care and cleaning of your monitor, protecting your monitor from theft, and troubleshooting.

Care and cleaning

mDo not block the monitor’s vents.

mDo not let liquid get on or into the monitor.

mIf you will not be using your monitor and computer for a long period of time (a day or more), make sure you turn off the computer (and your monitor, if necessary).

To clean the case of the monitor:

1Turn your computer and monitor off.

2Disconnect the monitor’s power plug from the back of the monitor. (Pull the plug, not the cord.)

3Wipe the surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth dampened with water.

Don’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives that might damage the finish on the case.
