Preventive maintenance
Periodic maintenance inspections are essential to keep the monitor in optimum condition and ensure safe
operation.
With the monitor disconnected from the mains, perform the following periodic check:
• Check the integrity of the power cord and inspect its routing, so that it is not under the risk of being
punched or cut.
• Check the integrity of the protective earth connection.
• Clean the area around the power plug. Dust and liquids may result in fire.
• Clean the ventilation slot of the monitor. Dust can obstruct the air flow and cause temperature increase of
the electronics.
General recommendations:
• Keep the monitor clean to prolong its operational lifetime.
• LCD panel performance may deteriorate in the long term. Periodically check that it is correctly operating.
• Periodically check the tightness of the VESA mount screws. If not sufficiently tight, the monitor may detach
from the arm, which may result in injury or equipment damage.
• In case the failover functionality is used, periodically check the OSD menu settings to verify the correct
assignment of main and secondary input (backup) and perform a test to verify the correct activation of the
backup input.
