Safety precautions and maintenance

WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.

Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:

Unplug the monitor, if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.

Unplug the monitor, if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Wiping the screen with a dry cloth is possible when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based liquids.

Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when following the instructions in this manual.

The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.

Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.

Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s electronics.

Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.

Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture.

When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.

If turning off the monitor by detaching power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds, then attach the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation.

To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to rain or excessive moisture.

When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.

IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application . If a still image in high contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave a so called "after-image" or "ghost image" in front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in the LCD technology. Most of the time the after-image will disappear gradually over a period of time after switching off the power. Be aware that the after-image symptom can not be repaired and is not covered under warranty.

Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when operating instructions of this manual are followed.
