PRECAUTIONS
zDo not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
zDo not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the
monitor falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to the
appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or
sold with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a
mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit
instructions.
zSlots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it
from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do
not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place
the monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the
monitor in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
zThe monitor should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to
your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
zThe monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with
a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounded power
outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-
wire plug, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter
to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounded plug.
zUnplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for
long periods of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to
power surges.
zDo not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result
in fire or electric shock.
zNever push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short
circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the
monitor.
zDo not attempt to service the monitor yourself; opening or removing
covers can expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please
refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
zTo ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed
computers which have appropriate configured receptacles marked
between 100 - 240 VAC, Min. 1.5A.
zThe wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.

THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF
THERE IS NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS
MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE MUST BE A VIDEO
INPUT SIGNAL.
This monitor meets the Power Management standards as set by the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and/or the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The Swedish Confederation
Employees ( NUTEK ). This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy
by reducing power consumption when there is no video input signal present.
When there is no video input signal this monitor, following a time-out period,
will automatically switch to an OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's
internal power supply consumption. After the video input signal is restored,
full power is restored and the display is automatically redrawn. The
appearance is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature except the display is
completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or
clicking the mouse.
Plug and play
Plug & Play DDC1/2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC1/2B capabilities according to the
VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of
its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used, communicate
additional information about its display capabilities. The communication
channel is defined in two levels, DDC1 and DDC2B.
The DDC1 is a unidirectional data channel from the display to the host that
continuously transmits EDID information. The DDC2B is a bidirectional data
channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request EDID information
over the DDC2B channel.
