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.

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 both side of

the LCD display firmly taking care not to scratch the screen

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.
