2PRECAUTIONS
 
 
l  Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry 
tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement. 
l  Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can 
injure a person and cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand 
recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on a 
wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit 
instructions. 
l  Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To 
ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these 
openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or 
similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not 
place the monitor in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is \
provided. 
l  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 supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local 
power company. 
l  The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third 
(grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If 
your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug, have an electrician install the 
correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the safety 
purpose of the grounded plug. 
l  Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used fo\
r long period of time. 
This will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges. 
l  Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric 
shock. 
l  Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It may short circuit parts 
causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor. 
l  Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself; opening or removing covers can expose 
you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified 
service personnel. 
l  To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which 
have appropriate configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V AC, Mi\
n. 5A. 
l  The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easil\
y accessible.

SPECIAL NOTES 
 
The following symptoms are normal with the monitor and do not indicate a\
 problem. 
 
 
·
 Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during initial use. Turn off 
the Power Switch and then turn it on again to make sure the flicker disa\
ppears. 
·  You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop pattern 
you use. 
·  The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may include blemishes of 
0.01% or less such as a missing pixel or a pixel lit all the time. 
·  Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain 
after switching the image, when the same image is displayed for hours. In this case, the 
screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or turning off the Power Switch for 
hours. 
·  When the screen becomes black or flashing, or cannot illuminate any more, contact your 
dealer or service center to replace parts. Don  t repair the screen by yourself! 
 
 
TAKE CARE OF THE MONITOR  
 
 
·  Do not install the monitor in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or 
in a place subject to direct sunlight, or excessive dust or mechanical v\
ibration or shock. 
·  Save the original shipping carton and packing materials, as they will come in handy if you 
ever have to ship your monitor. 
·  For maximum protection, repackage your monitor as it is originally packe\
d in the factory. 
·  To maintain cleanness of your LCD display, wipe it periodically with clean and soft cloth. 
The screen may be damaged by any liquid splash. 
·  To keep the monitor looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains 
may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use 
strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage 
the cabinet. As a safety precaution, always unplug the monitor before cl\
eaning it.
