Warnings and Safety Precautions
The monitor is designed and manufactur e d to provide
long, trouble-free service. No maintenance other than
cleaning is required. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the
panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to
clean the panel surface.
The display panel consists of fine pictur e elements (cells).
Although the display panels ar e produced with more than
99.99 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do
not produce light or remain lit.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, r ead
carefully and observe the following instructions.
To avoid shock and fir e hazards:
1.
Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid
internal heat build-up. Do not cover r e ar vents or
install in a closed cabinet or shelves.
The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you install
the unit in an enclosur e , be sure there is adequate
space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and
escape.
If the monitor becomes too hot, the over h eat protector
will be activated and the monitor will be tur ned off. If
this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and
un-plug the power cord. If the room where the
monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the
monitor to a cooler location, and wait for the monitor
to cool for 60 minutes.
If the problem persists, contact your dealer for service.
2.
Do not use the power cord plug with extension cords
or outlets unless all pr ongs can be completely inserted.
3.
Do not expose unit to water or moistur e .
4.
Avoid damage to the power cor d , and do not attempt
to modify the power cord.
5.
Unplug unit during electrical stor ms or if unit will not
be used over a long period.
6.
Do not open the unit which has potentially danger ous
high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged
from opening the cabinet the warranty will be void.
Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock.
7.
Do not attempt to service or r e pair the unit. Tmm is
not liable for any bodily har m or damage caused if
unqualified persons attempt service or open the back
cover. Refer all service to authorized Service Centers.
IMPORTANT TIPS: Caring for Your
Monitor
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1.
Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply.
Continued operation at line voltages gr e ater than 120
Volts AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might
cause a fire hazard.
2.
Handle the unit carefully when installing it.
3.
Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and dir e ct
sunlight.
4.
Protect the inside of the unit fr o m liquids and small
metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and
have it serviced by an authorized service center .
5.
Do not hit or scratch the panel sur f ace as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.
6.
For correct installation and mounting it is str o ngly
recommended to use a trained, authorized dealer .
7.
Like all phosphor-based display devices, monitors can
be susceptible to uneven phosphor aging under certain
circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as
the continuous display of a static image over a
prolonged period of time, can r e sult in uneven
phosphor aging if proper precautions are not taken. T o
protect your investment in this monitor , please adhere
to the following guidelines and r e commendations for
minimizing the occurrence of uneven phosphor aging:
•
Always enable and use your computer's scr e en saver
function during use with a computer input sour c e.
•
Display a moving image whenever possible.
•
Always power down the monitor when you ar e
finished using it.
•
If viewing with a 4/3 aspect ratio for long periods of
time, set side gray level at 3 or 4.
If the monitor is in long term use or
continuous operation take the following
measures to reduce the likelihood of uneven
phosphor aging:
•
Lower the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST levels as
much as possible without impairing image r e adability.
•
Display an image with many colors and color
gradations (i.e. photographic or photo-r e alistic
images).
•
Create image content with minimal contrast between
light and dark areas (for example, white characters on
black backgrounds). Use complementary or pastel
color whenever possible.
•
Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defined borders between colors.
