Safety

 

Electrical 
safety 

Note:

 To ensure your safety and prolong the life of the product, read 

the following safety recommendations carefully before using the product 
for the first time. 

y

 

Do not touch the inside of the monitor. Only authorized and qualified 
technicians should open the LCD monitor case. 

y

 

Hold the plug (not the power cable) when you connect the plug to 
the socket. Make sure your hands are dry.  

y

 

This product should only be operated with the type of power indicated 
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power 
available, consult your dealer or local power company. 

y

 

This product is equipped with a 3-prong plug, (a plug having a third 
grounding pin). This plug will only fit into a grounded power outlet. 
If you are unable to insert the grounded plug into the outlet, contact 
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not use a 
two-prong adapter instead of the grounded plug. 

y

 

Don’t expose your LCD monitor to water, or any environment with 
a high temperature or humidity, such as kitchens or swimming pools. 
Flower vases filled with water are also dangerous. 

y

 

If your LCD monitor operates abnormally (i.e., releases smoke, noise 
or a smell), remove the plug immediately and contact your authorized 
dealer or service center. 

Installation 
safety 

y

 

Don't touch your LCD monitor with your fingers or any hard object.
Avoid scratching or leaving any oil sludge on the surface of the 
display. 

y

 

Protect your LCD monitor by installing it in a place that is 
well-ventilated, moisture proof, and dust-free. 

y

 

Don’t install your LCD monitor near a heat source, (i.e., ovens, 
space heaters, fire places, furnaces or in the sun). 

y

 

To avoid electric shock, or dropping, install your LCD monitor in 
a place where children will not touch it. Secure your LCD monitor
firmly and explain the safety rules to children, if required. 

y

 

When installing your LCD monitor or adjusting its angle, attention 
should be paid to the loading capability and leveling of the 
structure supporting the LCD monitor. 

Cleaning safety 

y

 

Don’t spray cleanser or water onto your LCD monitor or its case.

y

 

When cleaning your LCD monitor, make sure that no liquid permeates
into the inside of the LCD monitor or any accessory. 

y

 

Moisten a clean, soft, lint-free cloth with water or glass cleaner 
without alcohol. Squeeze it so it's just a little damp and wipe 
the surface of your LCD monitor gently. It is recommended to use 
a silk cloth that is exclusively used to clean the display.

Special notes on LCD monitors 

The following symptoms are normal for LCD monitors and do not indicate a problem with 

the device: 

y

 

Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during initial 

use. Turn off the power switch and then turn it on again to make the flicker disappear.

y

 

You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop pattern 

you use. 

y

 

The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may include blemishes 

of 0.01% or less (caused by a missing pixel or a pixel that is always lit). 

y

 

When the same image is displayed for hours on end, its afterimage may remain after 

switching to a new image. When this happens, the screen will recover slowly by changing 

the image. Turning the LCD monitor off for several hours will also correct this 

problem.

Installation instructions

 

Placement 

Note:

 Read the Safety section carefully before starting the installation.

When installing your LCD monitor, consider the placement of the monitor:

y

 

To minimize the reflection of the monitor, protect your eyes, and ensure 

premium quality, don’t install your LCD monitor near windows or where 

there is backlight. Keep the monitor at least 30 cm away from your eyes.

y

 

The upper edge of the monitor should be just a little higher than your 

line of sight. 

y

 

Adjust the front and back dip angles of the monitor, so that you can

view the display comfortably. 

Connecting the base to the monitor 

Take the base out of the box and place it on a 

flat table. 

y

 

Position the monitor on top of the base. 

y

 

Connect the base into the neck of the monitor 

along the track. 

y

 

You will hear a click sound when the base 

and the monitor are properly connected. 

 

Installati
on 

Connecting the LCD monitor to a PC
