absolutely sure to conduct the maintenance and inspections described here.

1. Necessity for periodic maintenance and

servicing

A backlight power supply is used in this LCD monitor.
This part (which is a consumable) will deteriorate over
time and lead to a reduced level of performance and
failure.
For this reason, do not confine the maintenance activities
to the kind of after-sale servicing which is performed when
the usual failures have occurred. The user should know
that it is important to follow through with comprehensive
servicing which involves periodic maintenance and
servicing aimed at keeping up the performance that the
monitor is designed to provide and preventing sudden
failures caused by consumable parts, etc.
