1.2 Setup and operation
Please keep the following in mind when setting up and using the monitor:
To avoid straining youreyes,do not placing themonitor in front ofa bright
background or where sunlight or other light sources shine directly onto
the monitor. To ensure the best ergonomical position, the monitor should
be below eye-level, if possible.
Do not cover the monitor's air vents. Make sure that there is sufficient
ventilation so that heat from the monitor can properly dissipate.
Avoid exposing the monitor to damp and dust as this can cause fire or
electric shock hazard.
Ensure that neither the monitor, nor any other heavy item is placed on the
power supply cord. A damaged power supply cord can cause fire or short
circuits.
When transporting the monitor, handle it with care.
Do not shake or scratch the monitor because it is fragile and sensitive.
1.3 The proper care for your screen
The surface of the monitor panel features an antireflective coating. Never
touch the surface of the panel with rough, sharp or pointed objects such as
screwdrivers or ballpoint pens to prevent damage to the coating.
To clean the panel, use a mild detergent such as normal hand soap. Use a
soft cotton cloth to apply the detergent and to wipe the panel dry. Take care
not to apply excessive pressure, as small particles of dust on the panel might
otherwise scratch the surface.
Remove the power plug from the socket before cleaning the monitor. Never
use abrasive cleansers, scrubbing sponges, or solvents such as alcohol or
lighter fluid. Never leave the monitor in contact with rubber or vinyl products
for an extended time period.
