Precautions
Characteristics of the LCD Screen
• Keep the LCD from facing direct sunlight for extended periods as this can damage
the screen.
• The LCD screen may lose uniformity or otherwise malfunction if pushed,
scratched or has a heavy object set upon it.
• If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual image may appear on the screen.
This is not a malfunction. The screen returns to normal as the temperature rises to
a normal operating level.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image may appear for a
while. The residual image will eventually disappear.
• The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.
Important Notes on the LCD Screen Characteristics
Please be aware that, although the LCD screen is made with high precision technology, the
manufacturer's specifi cations allow for slight optical anomalies. If your LCD screen exhibits
any minor anomalies, it is not an indication of a malfunction. General Digital™ inspects each
screen to even more rigid specifi cations than the manufacturer's and will not ship any product
found to be substandard.
Also, optimal performance is achieved after the monitor has reached a stable internal operating
temperature. At ambient room temperature (72° F/22° C), this may require as long as
30–60 minutes.
Replacement of the Fluorescent Tube
A specially designed fl uorescent tube is installed as the lighting apparatus for this mon-
itor. If the screen becomes dark, unstable or does not turn on, replace the fl uorescent
tube with a new one. Consult General Digital
Maintenance
• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning your
monitor.
• Clean the LCD screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning liquid, refrain
from using any type of cleaner containing an antistatic solution or similar additive
as this may scratch the LCD's screen coating.
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.
• A scratched LCD surface may result if the screen surface is rubbed, touched or
tapped with sharp or abrasive items such as ballpoint pens or screwdrivers.
• Note that material deterioration or LCD screen coating degradation may occur
if the monitor is exposed to volatile solvents such as insecticide, or if prolonged
contact is maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.
