Precautions

Warning on power connections

· Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord,

be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.

For the customers in the UK

If you use the monitor in the UK, be sure to use the supplied UK

power cable.

· Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds

after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the

screen's surface to discharge.

· After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized

(degaussed) for about 3 seconds. This generates a strong

magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored

on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to

keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away

from the monitor.

Installation

Do not install the monitor in the following places:

· on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,

draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes

· near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place

subject to direct sunlight

· in a place subject to severe temperature changes

· in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock

· on an unstable surface

· near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a

transformer or high voltage power lines

· near or on an electrically charged metal surface

Maintenance

· Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning

liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static

solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen's

coating.

· Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or

abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type

of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

· Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly

moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type

of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or

benzene.
