General

Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket or hang the TV monitor to the wall before all conn- ections are made.

•Place or hang the TV monitor wherever you want, but make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots.

•Unplug the TV monitor before cleaning the screen.

•When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks.

•Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage.

•Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading.

•IMPORTANT: Always activate a moving screen saver program when you leave your monitor unattended. Always activate a periodic screen refresh application if your LCD monitor will display unchanging static content. Uninterru- pted display of still or static images over an extended period may cause “burn in”, also known as “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging”, on your screen. "Burn-in", "after-ima- ging", or "ghost imaging" is a well-known phenomenon in LCD panel technology. In most cases, the “burned in” or “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging” will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off.

WARNING: Severe“ burn-in” or “after-image” or “ghost image” symptoms will not disappear and cannot be repair- ed. The damage mentioned above is not covered under your warranty.

•Do not install the TV monitor in a confined space such as a book case or a similar unit.

•To prevent any unsafe situations, no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed in the vicinity.

•Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain or water.

•The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
