Safety precautions and maintenance
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those
specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical
hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:
Unplug the monitor, if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.
●
Unplug the monitor, if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Wiping the screen with a dry
cloth is possible when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based
liquids.
●
Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when following the instructions
in this manual.
●
The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.
●
Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.
●
Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s electronics.
●
Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
●
Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture.
●
When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.
●
If turning off the monitor by detaching power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds, then attach
the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation.
●
To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to rain or
excessive moisture.
●
When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.
●
IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application . If a still image in high
contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave a so called "after-image"
or "ghost image" in front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the
shortcomings inherent in the LCD technology. Most of the time the after-image will disappear
gradually over a period of time after switching off the power. Be aware that the after-image symptom
can not be repaired and is not covered under warranty.
●
Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when operating instructions of this
manual are followed.
