Maintenance Guidelines  
Cleaning Your Monitor  
For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:  
l To clean your antistatic screen, lightly 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.   
l Use a lightly - dampened, warm cloth to clean the monitor. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the monitor.    
l If you notice white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth.  
l Handle your monitor with care as darker - colored monitor may scratch and show white scuff marks more than lighter - colored monitor.    
l To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and turn off your monitor when not in use.
