never spray the cleaner directly onto the screen.
• Disconnect the power cable if the monitor is not being used for a
long period of time.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the monitor yourself.

monitor icker and prevents users from suering eye strain and fatigue.

• Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from approximately
510 mm to 760 mm (20 in to 30 in).
• A general guideline is to position the monitor such that the top
of the screen is at or slightly below your eye-height when you are
comfortably seated.
• Use adequate lighting for the type of work you are performing.
• Take regular and frequent breaks (at least for 10 minutes) every 30
minutes.
• Be sure to periodically look away from your monitor screen and focus
on a far object for at least 20 seconds during the breaks.
• Eye exercise can help reduce eye strain. Repeat these exercises
frequently: (1) look up and down (2) slowly roll your eye (3) move
your eyes diagonally.
