Cleaning of the Product
9
Caution
Be careful when cleaning the plastic housing of the panel so that no liquid or other
objects will drip down into the product through the ventilation holes. This could cause
electric shock and damage the product.
Normal dust and lint particles can be easily wiped off with a soft cloth tissue.
For grease or dirt that is more firmly fixed to the product, the use of a soft and dry micro fiber
based cloth tissue will normally remove it all.
You can also use a mild liquid detergent mixed with water for cleaning together with a soft cloth
tissue. This will clean both the cabinet and the LCD panel well. For the LCD panel you can also
use isopropyl alcohol based liquids (without abrasive) or non-ammoniac glass cleaner.
When cleaning the LCD panel you will get the best result if you clean the panel when its surface
has cooled down to normal room temperature. On a warm panel the liquid evaporates too quickly
leaving traces of the cleaning. Afterwards wipe the surface dry with another soft cloth tissue.
Warning
Warning
Caution
Caution
When cleaning the cabinet do NOT use thinner, benzene or alcohol as these might
damage the plastic and cause the paint to peel off. Do NOT use organic solvent such
as acetone and toluene when cleaning the panel.
If you use any liquid for cleaning you must first un-plug the power to the monitor and
not connect it again until you are certain that all the liquid particles have evaporated.
Failure to do so could result in electric shock.
Do not use any tools with hard or sharp material for cleaning. The panel can very
easily be scratched or damaged from such tools.
Do not press hard on the panel when cleaning. This could cause damage to the LCD
panel element.
Disposal of the Product
Do not dispose of the unit with general wastes.
The monitor has been manufactured to comply with the EU directive on RoHS (Reduction of
Harmful Substances) but even so the LCD panel contains a small amount of mercury and the
monitor should therefore be disposed of according to local laws. Please get information from your
local re-seller how collection is handled in your country. For countries that are members of the EU
the WEEE directive applies and proper marking is on the product label affixed to the monitor.
