Safety Precautions and Maintenance

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE THE

FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND USING

THE LCD COLOR MONITOR:

• DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no user serviceable parts inside and opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to
qualifi ed service personnel.
• Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.
• Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage
points, which can be harmful or fatal or may cause electric shock, fi re or equipment failure.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or fi re.
• Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the monitor may fall,
causing serious damage to the monitor.
• When operating the LCD monitor with its AC 125-240V power supply, use a power supply cord
that matches the power supply voltage of the AC power outlet being used. The power supply cord
you use must have been approved by and comply with the safety standards of your country. (Type
H05VV-F should be used in Europe)
• In UK, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a black (5A) fuse installed for use
with this monitor. If a power cord is not supplied with this monitor, please contact your supplier.
• Do not place any objects onto the monitor and do not use the monitor outdoors.
• The lamps in this product contain mercury. Please dispose according to state, local or federal law.
• Do not bend power cord.
• Do not use monitor in high temperature, humid, dusty, or oily areas.
• If glass is broken, handle with care.
• Do not cover vent on monitor.
Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualifi ed service person-
nel under the following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the monitor.
• If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
• If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.
• If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle with care.
• Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can properly dissipate. Do
not block ventilated openings or place the monitor near a radiator or other heat
sources. Do not put anything on top of monitor.
• The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from the
power supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power outlet which is easily accessible.
• Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.
Image Persistence
Image persistence is when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the
screen. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images
being displayed for a long period of time should be avoided.
To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed.
For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor
should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC Display Solution of America recommends using a
moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when
not in use.
