Please read through this section carefully and follow the instruc-
tions to maximize the reliable operation and lifetime of your LCD
display. Always keep these instructions handy and close by your
LCD display. Keep the instructions and the packaging so that if you
sell or give away your LCD display you can give them to the new
owner.
OPERATING SAFETY
•Never open the housing of the LCD display!
When the housing is open there is a danger of
injury from electric shock!
•Do not insert any objects through the slots and openings of the
monitor. This may lead to an electrical short-circuit or even fire
resulting in damage to your LCD display.
•Slots and openings in the LCD display are for venti-
lation purpose. Do not cover these openings, as
this may lead to overheating.
•Do not allow children to play unattended with electrical
equipment. Children may not always correctly recognize
danger.
•This LCD display is intended for personal use only. It not in-
tended for commercial use in a heavy industry environ-
ment.
•An injury hazard exists when the display breaks. Wear pro-
tective gloves to pack the broken parts and send them into
your service center for proper disposal. Then wash your hands
with soap, because it is possible for chemicals to escape.
•Never exert pressure on the display. This could break the monitor.
•Do not touch the display with your fingers or with sharp objects
to avoid damage.

Contact the Call Center immediately in any of the following situa-
tions. Do NOT plug in or turn on your display:
♦if the power cable/power supply overheats or is damaged
♦if liquid has gotten into the monitor
♦if the LCD display is dropped or the housing damaged
REPAIR
•Leave all repairs of your LCD display to authorized and
qualified personnel only.
•Should a repair be necessary, please contact one of our author-
ized service partners only.
NOTES FOR SERVICE ENGINEERS
•Before opening the housing, disconnect the product from all
power sources and remove any connecting cables. If the dis-
play has not been disconnected from the power outlet before being
opened, there is a danger to life through electric shock. There is
also a risk of damage to the components.
•Internal components of the LCD display may be damaged by elec-
trostatic discharge (ESD). Carry out repairs in an ESD-protected
workshop. If no such workshop is available, wear an antistatic
wrist strap or touch a highly conductive metal object. We can re-
pair damage sustained by inappropriate handling for a fee.
•Use only original spare parts.

POINT OF USE
•Keep your LCD display and all units connected to it away from
moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight. Failure
to observe these instructions can lead to malfunctions or dam-
age to the LCD display.
•Place and operate all units on a stable, level and vibra-
tion-free surface in order to avoid the LCD display from fal-
ling.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
•The LCD display can be operated most reliably at ambient tem-
peratures between +41°F and +95°F (5° C to 35° C) and at a
relative humidity between 20% and 85% (without condensation).
•When switched off, the monitor can be stored most reliably be-
tween +14°F and +140°F (-10° C - +60° C), up to the maxi-
mum height of 39,000 ft (12,000 m) above sea level at a rela-
tive humidity between 10% and 85% (without condensation).
•After transporting your LCD display please wait until it has
assumed the ambient temperature before connecting and
switching it on. Extremely high variations in the temperature
or humidity may result in condensation forming on the in-
side of the LCD display which could cause an electrical
short-circuit.

CONNECTING
Observe the following instructions to connect your LCD display
properly:
POWER SUPPLY
•Do not open the power supply housing. An open
housing presents a lethal hazard from electrical
shock. There are no parts inside to be cleaned or ser-
viced.
•Operate your LCD display only with grounded outlets with AC 100-
230V~/ 50 Hz. If you are not sure about the power supply at your
location, check with your power company.
•Use only power connection cable provided.
•For additional safety we recommend use of a surge protector to
protect your LCD display from damage resulting from voltage
surges or lightning.
•To remove the LCD display from the power supply, disconnect the
plug from the AC outlet.
•The power outlet must be in the vicinity of your LCD display and
within reach of the power cables. DO NOT stretch the power
cables tightly to reach a power outlet.
•You should arrange the LCD display cables in a manner that no
one can trip over or step on them.
•To avoid damage of cable do not place any objects or furniture
on the cable.

STANDARDS/ELECTRO-MAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
Your display fulfils the requirements for electro-magnetic compatibility
and electrical safety specified in the following standards:
EN 55013, EN 55020, EN 60065
EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3
•When connecting ensure that Guidelines for Electro-Magnetic Com-
patibility (EMC) are observed.
•Provide a space of at least three feet from high-frequency and
magnetic sources of interference (television sets, loudspeakers,
mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions.
ERGONOMICS
•For ergonomic reasons we suggest not to use dark text with a blue back-
ground. This would cause bad readability and would increase eye strain.
•While working with display you should take breaks periodically to
avoid tension and fatigue.
•In order to protect your eyes and to create a pleasant working area you
should avoid glare, reflections and strong contrasts on the screen.
TRANSPORT AND RECYCLING
•Keep the original packaging and use it to protect the LCD display dur-
ing transport or storage.

ing precautions:
•Before cleaning always disconnect the power line and all
connection cables.
•Do not use any solvents, caustic or gaseous cleaning
agents.
•Clean the display with a soft, lint-free cloth.
•Ensure that no water droplets remain on the screen. Water
can cause permanent discoloration.
•Do not expose the screen to bright sunlight or ultraviolet
radiation.
IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using any electronic equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be taken. Following the guidelines below can reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and injury to person:
•Do not use this product near water (e.g., near a bathtub, wash
bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool).
•Avoid using a telephone/modem (other than a cordless type) dur-
ing an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric
shock from lightning.
•Do not use the telephone/modem to report a gas leak in the vi-
cinity of the leak.
•Use only the power cord indicated in this manual. Do not dispose
of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes
for possible special disposal instructions.
•Keep batteries away from children at all times.
