Troubleshooting tips Issue Possible Cause No picture - red LED ON LED on continuously indicates no (compatible) video is available on currently selected source. Confirm that the correct video input is selected. Check that the video signal cable is properly connected to the display.
Cleaning and maintenance If the display requires cleaning, use a damp soft cloth (e.g. microfibre) with a mild, non- abrasive glass cleaner. Ensure cloth is regularly washed or replaced. ¼ Note: Do not use paper products as they may scratch the surface. To minimize the risk of abrasion, allow the screen to air dry.
Replacing the filters Where displays are installed in an unsealed enclosure, air intake filters should be inspected yearly, and replaced if noticably fouled. If vessel is subject to major works involving spray painting or sanding, it is recommended that the monitor either be removed, or completely covered in a clean fabric drop cloth.
