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.
For the customers in the UK
If you use the monitor in the UK, be sure to use the appropriate
UK power cord.
Installation
Do not install or leave the monitor:
· In places subject to extreme temperatures, for example near a
radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the
monitor to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile
parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could cause
deformations of the casing or malfunctions.
· In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.
· Near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field,
such as a TV or various other household appliances.
· In places subject to inordinate amounts of dust, dirt, or sand, for
example near an open window or an outdoor exit. If setting up
temporarily in an outdoor environment, be sure to take
adequate precautions against airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise
irreparable malfunctions could occur.
Handling the LCD screen
· Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage
the LCD screen. Take care when you place the monitor by a
window.
· Do not push on or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy
object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose
uniformity or cause LCD panel malfunctions.
· If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual image may
appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen
returns to normal as the temperature rises to a normal operating
level.
· If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image
may appear for a while. The residual image will eventually
disappear.
· The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a
malfunction.
About the built-in stereo speakers
Be sure to keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and floppy
discs away from the speaker's opening as the speakers generate a
magnetic field. This magnetic field may affect data stored on
magnetic tapes and discs.
Note on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
Please note that the LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology. However, black points or bright points of light (red,
blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen, and
irregular colored stripes or brightness may appear on the LCD
screen. This is not malfunction.
(Effective dots: more than 99.99%)
Maintenance
· Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before
cleaning your monitor.
· Clean the LCD 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
LCD screen's coating.
· 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.
· Note that material deterioration or LCD screen coating
degradation may occur if the monitor is exposed to volatile
solvents such as insecticide, or if prolonged contact is
maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.
Transportation
· Disconnect all cables from the monitor and grasp the support
and base sections of the display stand firmly with both hands
when transporting. If you drop the monitor, you may be injured
or the monitor may be damaged.
· When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the
original carton and packing materials.
Disposal of the monitor
· Do not dispose of this monitor with general
household waste.
· The fluorescent tube used in this monitor contains
mercury. Disposal of this monitor must be carried out
in accordance to the regulations of your local
sanitation authority.
The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.
