Power
The 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.
The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will t
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.
Unplug 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.
Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in re or electric shock.
To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate congured
receptacles marked between 100-240V AC, Min. 5A.
The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

Instructions for maintenance of the OLED monitor screen
Based on the characteristics of the OLED product, screen maintenance should be carried out according to
the following requirements, so as to reduce the risk of generating image retention.
The warranty does not cover any damage resulting from non-compliance to the following instructions.
• Displaying a still image should be avoided as much as possible.
A still image refers to an image that remains unchanged for a long time in full screen or partial screen.
Still images may cause the OLED screen to be permanently damaged, resulting in image residue, which is a
characteristic of OLED screens.
The following suggestions on use should be abided by:
1. Do not display any still images on the monitor screen for a long time in full screen or partial screen,
because this will lead to screen image residue. To avoid this problem, please appropriately reduce the
brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying still images.
2. When watching a 4:3 program for a long time, dierent marks will be left on the left and right sides of the
screen and the edge of the image, so please do not use this mode for a long time.
3. Watch videos in full screen as much as possible, not in a small window on the screen (such as videos on
an Internet browser page).
4. Do not stick labels or stickers on the screen to reduce the possibility of screen damage and image residue.
• It is not recommended to continuously use this product for more than four hours.
This product uses a variety of technologies to eliminate possible image residue. It is strongly
recommended that you adopt the default values and keep all functions in the "ON" state, so as to
avoid image residue on the OLED screen and maintain the optimal use state of the OLED monitor.
• LEA (Logo Extraction Algorithm) (Prevention of local image retention)
To reduce the risk of generating image retention, it is recommended to enable the LEA function.
After this function is enabled, the screen will be automatically narrowed to x the brightness of the display
area, so as to reduce possible image retention.
This function is “On” by default, and can be set in the OSD menu.
• TPC (Temporal Peak Luminance Control)
To reduce the risk of generating image retention, the luminance of the screen automatically lowers greatly
when a still image is displayed for a long time so as to avoid possible image retention.
This function is “On” by default, and cannot be disabled.
• Orbit (Image shift)
To reduce the risk of generating image retention, it is recommended to enable the Orbit function.
After this function is turned on, image pixels circularly move as a whole once a second in a trajectory shaped
like a Chinese character “ 日.” The movement amplitude is based on the settings. The moved character may
be side cut. When “Strongest” is selected, image retention is most unlikely generated, but possible side cut
may be most notable. When “O” is selected, the image will go back to the optimal position.
This function is “On” (Weak) by default, and can be set in the OSD menu.

9
• CPC (Convex Power Control)
To reduce the risk of generating image retention, this function can automatically adjust power gain for
dierent images. Power control follows a convex mathematic model which is high in the middle and low on
two sides, so as to reduce possible image retention.
This function is “On” by default, and cannot be disabled.
• LBC (Local Brightness Control)
To reduce the risk of generating retention, the brightness of an area will be automatically lowered if the
accumulative mean brightness of this area is overly high to prevent decline of the bright eect of this area,
thereby avoiding possible image retention.
This function is “On” by default, and cannot be disabled.
• OFF RS (O Real slow) (Elimination of image retention)
Based on the characteristics of OLED panels, it is easy to produce image residue if static images with
dierent colors or brightness intervals are displayed for a long time.
In order to eliminate the image residue that may have been generated, it is suggested to run the image
residue elimination function regularly or from time to time to achieve the ideal image viewing eect.
This function can be run by the following methods:
• Manually enable the OFF-RS function in the OSD menu, select “Yes” according to the menu prompt.
• An alert will pop up automatically every time the display runs accumulatively for 4 hours to remind the
user of screen maintenance. It is recommended to select “Yes.” If “No” is selected or no selection is made,
the alert will be given once an hour after the display runs accumulatively for 24 hours until the user selects
“Yes.”
• Every time the displays run accumulatively for 4 hours, the OFF-RS function will be automatically
implemented if the display is pressed to shut down or 2 hours after the display enters the standby state.
The OFF-RS function runs for about 10 min each time. Keep power on and do not operate keys. The power
indicator will ash white (on for 1 seconds/o for 1 seconds).. The power indicator turns o at the end, and
the display enters shutdown or standby state.
When running the image residue elimination function, if the user presses the power button to turn on the
monitor or wakes up the monitor from the standby state, the image residue elimination process will be
automatically interrupted and the display screen will be restored, which will take about 5 more seconds.The
monitor automatically runs the screen compensation correction function in standby state, which will not be
interrupted.On the Other menu of the OSD, you can view the number of times the image residue removal
function runs.
• JB(Screen compensation and correction)
To reduce the risk of generating image retention, the screen is subjected to relatively complete JB operation
every time when the display runs acumulatively for 1500 hours.
Before running the screen compensation correction, automatically run the image residue elimination, and
wait for the screen to cool down to an appropriate temperature (the whole process takes about 1 hour).
When running the screen compensation correction, please keep the power on, do not operate the button, and
the power indicator will ash white (on for 3 seconds/o for 3 seconds). When nished, the power indicator
will be o or orange, and the monitor will enter the shutdown or standby state.
When running the screen compensation correction, if the user presses the power button to turn on the
monitor or wakes up the monitor from the standby state, the screen compensation correction process will be
automatically interrupted and the display screen will be restored, which will take about 5 more seconds. The
monitor automatically runs the screen compensation correction function in standby state, which will not be
interrupted.
This setting is “ON” by default and cannot be turned o.

10
Note: The panel is under maintenance when the power indicator ashes white. At this time, the measured power cannot
be used to judge the standby power or shutdown power.

11
