Maintenance Guidelines
Cleaning Your Monitor
CAUTION: Read and follow the safety instructions before cleaning the monitor. 
CAUTION: Before  cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor  power  cable from the electrical outlet.  
To clean your  antistatic  screen, slightly  dampen a  soft, clean cloth  with water. If  possible, use a  special screen-cleaning tissue  or solution  suitable for the antistatic
coating.  Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia,  abrasive cleaners, or compressed  air.
Use  a  slightly  dampened, warm cloth  to  clean the plastics.  Avoid  using  detergent of any kind as some  detergents leave a  milky film on the plastics.  If  you notice  a  white powder  when  you unpack  your  monitor,  wipe it  off with a  cloth. This white powder  occurs during the shipping of the monitor.Handle your monitor with care as darker -colored monitor may scratch and  show white scuff marks  more  than  lighter-colored monitor.  To help maintain the best image quality on your  monitor,  use a  dynamically changing screen saver and  power off your  monitor when  not in use.
