Safety and Troubleshooting Information
● If your monitor gets wet, wipe it with dry cloth as soon as possible.
● If foreign substance or water gets in your monitor, please turn the power off immediately
and disconnect the power cord. Then, remove the foreign substance or water, and send
it to the maintenance center.
● Do not store or use the LCD monitor in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight or
extreme cold.
● In order to maintain the best performance of your monitor and use it for a longer lifetime,
please use the monitor in a location that falls within the following temperature and
humidity ranges.
❍ Temperature: 0-40°C 32-95°F
❍ Humidity: 20-80% RH
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. Uninterrupted 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-imaging", 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 repaired. The damage mentioned above is not covered under
your warranty.
