How to view the monitor

If you use the monitor in too dark a room, your eyes may become tired.

Please use it in a reasonably bright room.

Your eyes will get fatigued after viewing the monitor for long period of time.

Relax your eyes by viewing away from the monitor from time to time.

Please watch the monitor in downward direction.

• Note on image retention

The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as grayed-out images. Tips to prevent such image retention are:

-Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or high-contrast images, such as monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for long.

-Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate intervals of time, or try to move them using screen saver function.

-Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.

How to clean the plasma screen panel of the monitor

Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.

To prevent scratching or damaging the plasma screen face, do not knock or rub the surface with sharp or hard objects. Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

• How to clean the cabinet of the monitor

Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet and control panel of the monitor. When excessively soiled dilute a neutral detergent in water, wet and wring out the soft cloth and afterward wipe with a dry soft cloth.

Never use acid/alkaline detergent, alcoholic detergent, abrasive cleaner, powder soap, OA cleaner, car wax, glass cleaner, etc. especially because they would cause discoloration, scratches or cracks.
