Precautions

Installation

•Prevent internal heat build-up by allowing adequate air circulation. Do not place the monitor on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.

•Do not install the monitor near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

•Do not place the monitor near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power lines.

Maintenance

•Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

•Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

•Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen’s coating.

Transportation

When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the original carton and packing materials.

•Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the CRT display surface to discharge.

•After the power has been turned on, the CRT is demagnetized (degaussed) for about 3 seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field around the metal frame, which may affect the data stored on magnetic tapes and disks near the bezel. Place magnetic recording equipment, tapes and disks away from this monitor.

The outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible.
