Precautions 

• 

The monitor may be damaged if placed too near a source of heat. Be 
aware of the location of radiators, cookers, open fires etc. 

• 

Do not cover the slots and openings on the back or top of the cabinet as 
the monitor requires ventilation. The monitor should be located in a well-
ventilated room to prevent the possibility of overheating.  

• 

Do not allow sharp objects such as knives, pens, or pencils near the 
screen. If such objects touch the screen, the LCD panel will be 
permanently scratched. 

• 

When cleaning this monitor, disconnect it from the electric socket to 
avoid any danger of electrocution.  A soft, lint-free cloth should be used 
to clean the outside of the monitor. A cloth very slightly moistened with 
a mild detergent solution will clean stubborn stains. Keep liquids away 
from the display screen, including sprays. Do not spray liquid directly - it 
is best to lightly spray on to a cloth and wipe. If liquid gets inside the 
monitor it can cause electrical shock and/or damage to the unit. 

• 

If you encounter a problem, please check the "Troubleshooting" section 
first. If this does not resolve the problem do not attempt to repair the 
monitor by yourself; opening or removing covers can lead to injury or 
death through electrocution among other hazards. Please contact a 
qualified engineer if you find the troubleshooting section does not help.
