PRECAUTIONS 7
ENGLISH
WARNING
´ Install the monitor securely when attaching to an arm stand.
When attaching an arm stand, please refer to the user’s manual of the arm
stand and install the monitor securely with the enclosed screws. Not doing
so may cause the monitor to come unattached, which may result in injury
or equipment damage. When the monitor is dropped, please ask your
dealer for advice. Do not continue using a damaged monitor. Using a
damaged monitor may result in fire or electric shock.
When reattaching the tilt stand, please use the same screws and tighten
them securely.
´Do not touch a damaged LCD panel directly with bare hands.
Use protective gloves whenever handling a damaged panel. The liquid
crystal which leaks from the panel is poisonous if it enters the eyes or
mouth. If any part of the skin or body comes in direct contact with the
panel, please wash thoroughly. If some physical symptoms result, please
consult your doctor.
´ Take care when disposing of the monitor.
The backlight of the LCD panel contains mercury. Follow local
regulation or laws for safe disposal.
CAUTION
• Handle with care when carrying the monitor.
* Disconnect the power cord, signal cables and remove the optional
i·Sound™sound unit (if applicable). Moving the monitor with the cord
attached or lifting it by the i·Sound™sound unit is dangerous. It may
result in injury or equipment damage.
* When handling the monitor, grip the bottom of the monitor firmly with
both hands ensuring the panel faces outward before lifting.
* Handle with care to avoid scratching or damaging the panel. If the
monitor becomes damaged, disconnect the power immediately and have
the monitor checked by a qualified service engineer before using it again.
Using a monitor after it has been dropped may result in fire or electric
shock.
OK

8PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
´ Do not block the ventilation slots on the cabinet.
* Do not place books or any other papers on the ventilation slots.
* Do not install the monitor in a closed space.
* Do not use the monitor lengthwise or upside down.
Using the monitor in this way blocks the ventilation slots and prevents
proper airflow, leading to fire or other damage.
• Do not use the LCD monitor outdoors or inside a car.
This LCD monitor has been made specifically for indoor use as a desktop
monitor. Using it anywhere else may result in fire, electrical shock, or
other damage.
• When adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor, do not do so by
handling i·Sound™ sound unit (if applicable).
Adjusting the monitor in this way may break the monitor or cause bodily
injury.
´ At the end of the day or if you plan to leave the monitor unused for an
extended period after turning off the power switch, disconnect the
power cord from the wall socket so that no power connections are
made.
´ Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
Touching the plug with wet hands is dangerous and can cause electrical
shock.
´ Use an easily accessible power outlet.
This will ensure that you can disconnect the power quickly in case of a
problem.
´ Unplug the monitor before cleaning it.
Cleaning the monitor while it is plugged into a power outlet may result in
electric shock.
´ Never use thinner, benzene, alcohol (ethanol, methanol, or isopropyl
alcohol), abrasive cleaners, or other strong solvents, as these may
cause damage to the cabinet or LCD panel.
´ Periodically clean the area around the plug.
Buildup of dust, water, or oil on the plug may result in fire.

PRECAUTIONS 9
ENGLISH
Suggestions for Maximizing Comfort
´ To lessen the chance of possible injury and to increase your
comfort and productivity while you operate the monitor, we suggest
the following:
* Avoid less favorable body positioning. Sit back on the chair with
your back straight.
* Adjust the height of the chair so that the both soles touch the floor.
* Adjust the height of your chair, monitor, or keyboard so that you
can keep your wrists straight while typing.
* Set the terminal slightly below eye level.
´ Adjust brightness of the screen depending on the brightness of
your environment. Too dark or too bright of a screen can cause eye
strain.
´ Be sure to take adequate rests. A 10-minute rest period each hour
is suggested.
• Do not remove the covers to the power terminal for the optional
i·Sound™ sound unit for any reason except to attach the monitor.
LCD Panel
´ The screen may have defective pixels. These pixels may appear as
slightly light or dark area on the screen. This is due to the
characteristics of the panel itself, and not the product.
´ The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed life span.
When the screen becomes dark or begins to flicker, please contact your
dealer.
´ Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this will
result in damage to the screen. There will be prints left on the
screen if the pressed image is dark or black. If pressure is
repeatedly applied to the screen, it may deteriorate or damage your
LCD panel. Leave the screen white to decrease the prints.
´ Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such
as a pencil or pen as this may result in damage to the panel. Do not
attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the LCD panel.
