Precautions, Special Notes on LCD Monitors

Precautions

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

zDo 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.

zDo 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.

zWhen 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.

zIf 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.
