SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES

Please read this entire manual before using this device, paying extra attention to these safety warnings and guidelines. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

This device is intended for indoor use only.
Do not expose this device to water or moisture of any kind. Do not place drinks or other containers with moisture on or near the device. If moisture does get in or on the device, immediately remove it from its power source and allow it to fully dry before reapplying power.
Do not place the monitor on an unstable surface where it could fall and cause either personal injury or damage to the monitor and/or other equipment.
Do not expose this device to excessive vibration or extreme force, shock, or fluctuations in temperature or humidity.
Do not expose this device to excessively high temperatures. Do not place it in, on, or near a heat source, such as a fireplace, stove, radiator, etc. Do not leave it in direct sunlight.
This device ventilates excessive heat through the slots and openings in the case. Do not block or cover these openings. Ensure that the device is in an open area where it can get sufficient airflow to keep from overheating.
Do not place or install this device in an area where it can be exposed to excessive amounts of dust, humidity, oil, smoke, or combustible vapors.
Prior to operation, check the unit and power cord for physical damage. Do not use if physical damage has occurred.
Before plugging the unit into a power outlet, ensure that the outlet provides the same type and level of power required by the device.
This device uses a grounded power cord and requires a ground connection for safe operation. Ensure that the power source has a proper ground connection. Do not modify the plug or use a “cheater” plug to bypass the ground connection.
Unplug this device from the power source when not in use.
Take care to prevent damage to the power cord. Do not allow it to become crimped, pinched, walked on, or become tangled with other cords. Ensure that the power cord does not present a tripping hazard.
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the connector head or adapter body.
Ensure that power is turned off and disconnected before making any electrical connections.
Clean using a soft, dry cloth only. Do not use chemical cleaners, solvents, or detergents. For stubborn deposits, moisten the cloth with warm water.
This device has no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open, service, or modify this device.
Do not leave a single image on the display for a long period of time. Doing so could cause “burn-in” of the image. It is recommended to use a variable desktop background and to use a screen saver to prevent “burn-in”. Alternatively, ensure that the monitor is powered off for at least 2 hours out of every 12.
Keep the original foam packaging material for use when installing or removing the included stand.

PICTURE-BY-PICTURE RESOLUTION SETTINGS

Picture-by-Picture (PbP) mode allows you to display 2 or 4 video images from different sources side-by-side on the screen. For best results, the output resolution of each source should be identical and should be adjusted to fit within the resolution limits of the monitor. If using PbP mode with 2 video images, each source should be set to an output resolution of 2560×1440. If using PbP mode with 4 video images, each source should be set to an output resolution of 1280×1440.
