TIPS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- The TFT color LCD panel used in this monitor is
made with the application of high precision
technology. However, there may be minute
points on the screen where pixels never light or
are permanently lit. Also, if the screen is viewed
from an acute angle there may be uneven colors
or brightness. Please note that these are not
malfunctions but common phenomena of LCDs
and will not affect the performance of the
monitor.
- Do not display a still picture for a long period, as
this could cause a residual image.
- If the brightness is adjusted to the minimum
setting, it may be difficult to see the screen.
- The quality of the video signal may influence the
quality of the display. We recommend using an
equipment able to perform high quality video
signals.

- This monitor and its accessories may be
upgraded without advance notice.
- Do not use the monitor where ventilation is poor,

subject to direct sunlight, near heating
equipment or anywhere else where there is

fire.

objects on it, stretch it or over bend it. Also, do
not add extension cords. Damage to the cord
may result in fire or electric shock.
- Use only the power cord supplied with the
monitor.
- Insert the power plug directly into the AC outlet.
Adding an extension cord may lead to fire as a
result of overheating.
