Mains connection and operation
In order to safely disconnect the monitor from the mains supply, turn off the main power switch and remove the
mains cable from the outlet socket. Connect the monitor only to a correctly installed and earthed mains outlet sok-
ket. Make sure that the mains voltage matches the value specified in the technical data of the monitor. Ensure that
the mains plug and the outlet socket can be reached easily at any time.
Non-compliance with the above may result in electric shocks, fire or failure of the monitor.
Lay the mains cable so that nobody can trip over it.
If the monitor falls from its table or mounting bracket, persons may be injured and there may be irreparable
damage to the monitor.
Use only the mains cable supplied with the monitor. Take care that it is not damaged and do not make any modifi-
cations to it. Never use a damaged mains cable. If the mains cable or the plug is damaged, the monitor may not
be used, since there is a risk of electric shock, fire or failure of the monitor.
Never touch the mains switch or the mains cable with wet hands. This could result in an electric shock.
Never remove the mains plug from the outlet socket by pulling the cable. Avoid laying the cable in the vicinity of
hot objects, since this could result in fire or electric shocks.
Before leaving the monitor unattended for a long period, or in the case of a thunderstorm, remove the mains plug
from the outlet socket and remove the plug of the antenna cable from the antenna socket as a precautionary mea-
sure to prevent fires and the risk of electric shocks.
Always switch off the monitor and the signal source before connecting them together in order to prevent electric
shocks and injuries.
Faults
If the monitor or its mains cable is damaged in any manner, immediately disconnect the mains cable from the out-
let socket.
You should also immediately disconnect the mains cable from the outlet socket if you notice smoke, unpleasant
smells or unusual noises emanating from the monitor. The same applies if there is no picture on the screen when
you switch on the monitor or during normal operation. Never attempt to continue using the monitor under these
conditions.
Never attempt to open or repair the monitor. There are no components inside the monitor which you can repair or
replace. In the case of a fault, consult your local dealer.
Cleaning and care
Incorrect use and cleaning can cause irreparable damage to the monitor. You should therefore observe the follo-
wing instructions for the cleaning and care of the monitor.
Handling:
Take great care when handling the screen surface.
Avoid all possible mechanical damage which could result from shocks, pressure, scratches, etc.
Do not touch the screen with sharp or hard objects.
Keep the screen clean.
Care and cleaning:
Before cleaning the monitor, switch it off and disconnect the mains cable from the outlet socket.
The screen may be cleaned only with a dry soft cloth (such as a microfleece duster). If the screen is very dirty, it
may be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened slightly with water. Take care that no water or other liquids drips into
the monitor, since this can damage it.
Immediately disconnect the mains cable from the outlet socket if foreign objects, such as water, other liquids, metal
objects, etc., fall into the monitor. Never attempt to insert objects of any kind into the monitor and never place
your hands inside the monitor, since this can result in an electric shock.
