US-1 PRECAUTIONS Installation Do not install the monitor in the following places: • on surface (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 a magnetically charged metal surface. • in a small space around the top, bottom and sides of the monitor that may block the ventilation holes. Maintenance • 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 benzine. • 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 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. Transportation When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the original carton and packing materials. Use of the Tilt-Swivel This monitor can be adjusted within the angles shown below. Hold the monitor at the bottom with both hands when you turn it horizontally or vertically. Be careful not to pinch your fingers at the back of the monitor when you tilt the monitor up vertically. Note Do not remove the tilt-swivel base from the monitor. Power Connection Information • Use an appropriate power cord for your local power supply. • Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the CRT display surface to discharge. • After the power has been turned on, the CRT is demagnetized (degaussed) for a few seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field around the metal frame, which may affect the data stored on magnetic tapes and disks near the bezel. Place magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away from this monitor. The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible electrical outlet.
