Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple
precautions such as: ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or installation methods
recommended by the manufacturer of the product set. ALWAYS use furniture that
can safely support the product. ALWAYS ensure the product is not overhanging
the edge of the supporting furniture. ALWAYS educate children about the
dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the product or its controls. ALWAYS
route cords and cables connected to your product so they cannot be tripped
over, pulled or grabbed. NEVER place a product in an unstable location. NEVER
place the product on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases)
without anchoring both the furniture and the product to a suitable support.
NEVER place the product on cloth or other materials that may be located
between the product and supporting furniture. NEVER place items that might
tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the
product or furniture on which the product is placed. If the existing product
is going to be retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should
be applied.
Care & cleaning
- Cleaning. Turn your monitor off and unplug the power cord. Clean the monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth dampened with mild cleaner.
- Avoid using a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner intended for use with the LCD. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen, as it may drip inside the monitor and cause an electric shock.
The following symptoms are normal with the monitor:
- You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop pattern you use.
- When the same image is displayed for hours, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after switching the image. The screen will recover slowly or you can turn off the Power Switch for hours.
- When the screen becomes black or flashes, or cannot work anymore, contact your dealer or service center to fix it. Do not repair the screen by yourself!
