Disposal of Waste
Safety Precautions and Maintenance
Safety precautions
DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no user serviceable parts inside and
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous shock hazards or
other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.
Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dan-
gerous voltage points, which can be harmful or fatal or may cause electric
shock, fire or equipment failure.
Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may
cause shock or fire.
Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the
monitor may fall, causing serious damage to the monitor.
When operating the LCD monitor with its AC power supply, use a power supply
cord you use must have been approved by and comply with the international
safety standards.
Do not place any objects onto the monitor and do not use the monitor outdoors.
The inside of the fluorescent tube located within the LCD monitor contains mer-
cury. Please follow the bylaws or rules of your municipality to dispose of the tube
properly.
Do not use monitor in very hot, humid, dusty or oily areas.
If a monitor or glass is broken, handle with care. Do not come in contact with the
liquid crystal.
This mark shown on the product or any items, indicates that it should not
be disposed of with other household waste at the end of its working life.
To prevent possible harm to the environment or human health from
uncontrolled waste disposal, please separate this from other types of
waste and recycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of
material resources.
Household users should contact either the retailer where they pur-
chased this product, or their local government office, for details of where
and how they can take this item for environmentally safe recycling.
Business users should contact their supplier and check the terms and
conditions of the purchase contract. This product should not be mixed
with other commercial waste for disposal.
Caution! FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING
WHEN SETTING UP AND USING THE LCD MONITOR.

PAX-324 User Manual
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the monitor.
If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.
If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.
Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can properly dissi-
pate. Do not block ventilated openings or place the monitor near a radiator or
other heat sources. Do not put anything on top of the monitor.
The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from
the power supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power outlet which
is easily accessible.
Handle with care when transporting. Save packing for transporting.
Safety
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to other devices, which can be determined by turn-
ing the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter-
ference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
other device(s) are connected.
4. Consult the manufacturer or field service technician for help.
Keep away from a window
Do not place your LCD Monitor near a window to protect the Monitor from being
exposed to rain, water, moisture or sunlight that can severely damage it.
Caution! Immediately unplug the monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service power personnel under the following conditions:
Warning! High Voltage
The AC/DC inverter where high voltage current flows has the following
‘CAUTION mark against high voltage’ and you are absolutely not
allowed to open the monitor to access the inverter. Please refer to a
technician for service, if it is necessary.

Safe storage
Safe storage of the LCD Monitor is in a range of minus 20 to plus 60 Celsius
(68°F - 149°F). Storing the LCD Monitor out of this range could result in perma-
nent damage.
Image Persistence
Image persistence is when a residual or ghost image of a previous image
remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors' image per-
sistence is not permanent, but constant images being displayed for a long
period of time should be avoided.
To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous
image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour
and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to
erase the image.
Placement and Adjustment of the Monitor
For optimum performance of the system, one hour warm-up is recommended.
Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye
level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the
screen.
Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object farther away and blinking
often.
Position the monitor at a 90 degree angle to windows and other light sources to
minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not
reflect on your screen.
You can use an anti-glare filter to have a better view out of the reflected light.
Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using
any cleaning solution or glass cleaner.
Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.
Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid
image persistence (residual image).
Battery Related
When you remove the batteries from the remote control, keep the batteries out
of the reach of children. If a child swallows the battery, consult your doctor
immediately.
When replacing the batteries, insert the batteries with the correct polarities (+, -
). If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, the batteries may implode or the inter-
nal chemicals may leak, which may result in fire, injury or contaminate the envi-
ronment.
Note! As with all personal display devices, Kostec recommends using a mov-
ing screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turn-
ing off the Monitor when not in use.
Note! For optimal view, 20-inch distance from your eyes to the screen is rec-
ommended.

PAX-324 User Manual
Used batteries including rechargeable batteries must be disposed of separately
and collected for recycling. Used batteries and rechargeable batteries can be
handled by a nearby recycling center or agency that deals in batteries or
rechargeable batteries.
Use only designated standard batteries. Do not use new batteries with old
one(s). The batteries may implode or the internal chemicals may leak, which
may result in fire, injury or contaminate the environment.
