This	device	complies	with	Part	15	of	the	FCC	Rules.	Operation	is	subject	to	the	
following	two	conditions:
•	 This	device	may	not	cause	harmful	interference,	and
•	 This	device	must	accept	any	interference	received	including	interference	that	
may	cause	undesired	operation.
This	equipment	has	been	tested	and	found	to	comply	with	the	limits	for	a	
Class	B	digital	device,	pursuant	to	Part	15	of	the	FCC	Rules.	These	limits	are	
designed	to	provide	reasonable	protection	against	harmful	interference	in	a	
residential	installation.	This	equipment	generates,	uses	and	can	radiate	radio	
frequency	energy	and,	if	not	installed	and	used	in	accordance	with	manufacturer’s	
instructions,	may	cause	harmful	interference	to	radio	communications.	However,	
there	is	no	guarantee	that	interference	will	not	occur	in	a	particular	installation.	If	
this	equipment	does	cause	harmful	interference	to	radio	or	television	reception,	
which	can	be	determined	by	turning	the	equipment	off	and	on,	the	user	is	
encouraged	to	try	to	correct	the	interference	by	one	or	more	of	the	following	
measures:
•	 Reorient	or	relocate	the	receiving	antenna.
•	 Increase	the	separation	between	the	equipment	and	receiver.
•	 Connect	the	equipment	to	an	outlet	on	a	circuit	different	from	that	to 	which	the	
receiver	is	connected.
•	 Consult	the	dealer	or	an	experienced	radio/TV	technician	for	help.
The	use	of	shielded	cables	for	connection	of	the	monitor	to	the	graphics	card	is	required	to	assure	compliance	with	FCC	regulations.	Changes	or	modifications	to	this	unit	not	expressly	approved	by	the	party	responsible	for	compliance	
could	void	the	user’s	authority	to	operate	this	equipment.
As	an	Energy	Star®	Partner,	our	company	has	determined	that	this	product	meets	
the	Energy	Star®	guidelines	for	energy	efficiency.
Canadian.Department.of.Communications.Statement

Safety information
•	 Before	setting	up	the	monitor,	carefully	read	all	the	documentation	that	came	
with	the	package.			
•	 To	prevent	fire	or	shock	hazard,	never	expose	the	monitor	to	rain	or	moisture.		
•	 Never	try	to	open	the	monitor	cabinet.	The	dangerous	high	voltages	inside	the	
monitor	may	result	in	serious	physical	injury.	
•	 If	the	power	supply	is	broken,	do	not	try	to	fix	it	by	yourself.	Contact	a	qualified	
service	technician	or	your	retailer.		
•	 Before	using	the	product,	make	sure	all	cables	are	correctly	connected	and	the	
power	cables	are	not	damaged.	If	you	detect	any	damage,	contact	your	dealer	
immediately.	
•	 Slots	and	openings	on	the	back	or	top	of	the	cabinet	are	provided	for	
ventilation.	Do	not	block	these	slots.	Never	place	this	product	near	or	over	a	
radiator	or	heat	source	unless	proper	ventilation	is	provided.		
•	 The	monitor	should	be	operated	only	from	the	type	of	power	source	indicated	
on	the	label.	If	you	are	not	sure	of	the	type	of	power	supply	to	your	home,	
consult	your	dealer	or	local	power	company.	
•	 Use	the	appropriate	power	plug	which	complies	with	your	local	power	
standard.	
•	 Do	not	overload	power	strips	and	extention	cords.	Overloading	can	result	in	
fire	or	electric	shock.			
•	 Avoid	dust,	humidity,	and	temperature	extremes.	Do	not	place	the	monitor	in	
any	area	where	it	may	become	wet.	Place	the	monitor	on	a	stable	surface.	 	
•	 Unplug	the	unit	during	a	lightning	storm	or	if	it	will	not	be	used	for	a	long	period	
of	time.	This	will	protect	the	monitor	from	damage	due	to	power	surges.	
•	 Never	push	objects	or	spill	liquid	of	any	kind	into	the	slots	on	the	monitor	
cabinet.
•	 To	ensure	satisfactory	operation,	use	the	monitor	only	with	UL 	listed		
computers	which	have	appropriate	configured	receptacles	marked	between	
100-240V	AC.		
•	 If	you	encounter	technical	problems	with	the	monitor,	contact	a	qualified	
service	technician	or	your	retailer.		
This	symbol	 of	the	 crossed	 out	wheeled	 bin	indicates	 that	the	product	 (electrical,	
electronic	equipment,	and	mercury-containing	button	cell	battery)	should	not	
be	placed	in	municipal	waste.	Please	check	local	regulations	for	disposal	of	
electronic	products.

Care & Cleaning
•	 Before	you	lift	or	reposition	your	monitor,	it	is	better	to	disconnect	the	cables	
and	power	cord.	Follow	the	correct	lifting	techniques	when	positioning	the	
monitor.	When	lifting	or	carrying	the	monitor,	grasp	the	edges	of	the	monitor.	
Do	not	lift	the	display	by	the	stand	or	the	cord.	
•	 Cleaning.	Turn	your	monitor	off	and	unplug	the	power	cord.	Clean	the	monitor	
surface	with	a	lint-free,	non-abrasive	cloth.	Stubborn	stains	may	be	removed	
with	a	cloth	dampened	with	mild	cleaner.	
•	 Avoid	using	a	cleaner	containing	alcohol	or	acetone.	Use	a	cleaner	intended	
for	use	with	the	LCD.	Never	spray	cleaner	directly	on	the	screen,	as	it	may	drip	
inside	the	monitor	and	cause	an	electric	shock.	
The.following.symptoms.are.normal.with.the.monitor:
•	 The	screen	may	flicker	 during	 the	initial	 use	due	 to	the	 nature	 of	the	 fluorescent	
light.	 Turn	off	the	Power	Switch	and	turn	it	on	again	to	make	sure	that	the 	
flicker	disappears.			
•	 You	may	find	slightly	uneven	brightness	on	the	screen	depending	on	the	
desktop	pattern	you	use.	
•	 When	the	same	image	is	displayed	for	hours,	an	afterimage	of	the	previous	
screen	may	remain	after	switching	the	image.	The	screen	will	recover	slowly	or	
you	can	turn	off	the	Power	Switch	for	hours.	
•	 When	the	screen	becomes	black	or	flashes,	or	cannot	work	anymore,		contact	
your	dealer	or	service	center	to	fix	it.	Do	not	repair	the	screen	by	yourself!
