Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. • Do not bend, crimp or otherwise damage the power cord. • Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or fire. • The power supply cord you use must have been approved by and comply with the safety standards of your country. (e.g. Type H05VV-F 3G 0.75 mm2 should be used in Europe). • In the UK use a BS-approved power cord with a molded plug having a black (5 A) fuse installed for use with this monitor. • The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from the power supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power outlet, which is easily accessible. • Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water. • Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points, which can be harmful or fatal, or may cause electric shock, fire or equipment failure. • Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the monitor may fall, causing serious damage to the monitor. • Do not mount this product upside down for an extended period of time as it may cause permanent damage to the screen. • Do not use the monitor outdoors. • If glass is broken, handle with care. • For reliable performance and long useful life of this product, it is mandatory to not cover any vents on the monitor. • If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle with care. • Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor, so that heat can properly dissipate. • Do not block ventilated openings or place the monitor near a radiator or other heat sources. • Do not put anything on top of the monitor. • Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting. • It is recommended to wipe holes clean a minimum of once a month. • To ensure the monitor's reliability, please clean the holes at the rear side of the cabinet at least once a year to remove dirt and dust. • When using a LAN cable, do not connect to a peripheral device with wiring that might have excessive voltage. • Do not use the monitor in high temperature, humid, dusty, or oily areas. • Do not use monitor under rapid temperature and humidity change condition and avoid cold air from air-conditioning outlet directly, as it may shorten the lifetime of the monitor or cause condensation. If condensation of water has happened, let the monitor stand unplugged until the condensation has disappeared. Connecting to a TV* • Cable distribution system should be grounded (earthed) in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC), in particular Section 820.93, Grounding of Outer Conductive Shield of a Coaxial Cable. • The screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to earth in the building installation. Under the following conditions immediately disconnect your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel: • If the power supply cord or plug is damaged. • If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the monitor. • If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water. • If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. • If you notice any structural damage such as cracks or unnatural wobbling. • If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions. Recommended Use Ergonomics To realize the maximum ergonomic benefits, we recommend the following: • For the monitor's optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warming up. Avoid reproduction of still patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after image effects). • Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 5 feet away. Blink often. • Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and reflections. • Adjust the monitor's brightness, contrast and sharpness controls to enhance readability. • Get regular eye checkups. • Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals. • Use the preset Color Setting. • Use non-interlaced signals. • Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient contrast. • Suitable for entertainment purposes at controlled luminous environments, to avoid disturbing reflections from the screen. * The product you purchased may not have this feature.
