Precautions

Warning on power connections

•Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord, be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.

For the customers in the U.S.A.

If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards.

Example of plug types

for 100 to 120 V AC

for 200 to 240 V AC

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

•After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized (degaussed) for about 3 seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away from the monitor.

The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.

Installation

Do not install the monitor in the following places:

•on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes

•near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight

•in a place subject to severe temperature changes

•in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock

•on an unstable surface

•near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power lines

•near or on an electrically charged metal surface

Maintenance

•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.

•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 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 benzene.
