Troubleshooting

This section describes some common problems that you may experience when using the monitor.

Maintenance

General Precautions

• Make sure the monitor is turned off and the power cable is unplugged from the power outlet.
• Never spray or pour any liquid directly onto the screen or case.
• Handle the monitor with care, as a darker-colored monitor, if scuffed, may show marks more clearly than a lighter-colored monitor.

Cleaning the Screen

• Wipe the screen with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. This removes dust and other particles.
• If the screen is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, nonalcohol based glass cleaner onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth; then wipe the screen.

Cleaning the Case

• Use a soft, dry cloth.
• If the case is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based, mild non-abrasive detergent onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, then wipe the surface.
