Precautions

Installation

∙Prevent internal heat build-up by allowing adequate air circulation. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) nor near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.

∙Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, nor in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

∙Do not place the unit near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a converter or high voltage power lines.

Maintenance
Maintenance		EN

∙Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

∙Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items, like a ball point pen or a screw driver. Otherwise, this type of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

Warning on Power Connection

∙Use a proper power cord for your local power supply.

For the customers in U.S.A.

If you do not do this, this monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards.

For the customers in UK

If you use the monitor in UK, please use the supplied UK cable with UK plug.

Examples of plug shape:

for 100 to 120 V AC for 220 to 240 V AC for 240 V AC only

∙Before disconnecting the power cord, wait for at least 30 seconds after turning off the power switch to allow for the discharging of static electricity on the CRT display surface.

∙After the power has been turned on, the CRT is demagnetized for approximately 5 seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field around the bezel, which may affect the data stored on magnetic tapes or disks near the bezel. Place such magnetic recording equipment and tapes/disks apart from this unit.

The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible.
