of warranty! Never attempt to repair the
monitor yourself.
 Use the monitor and accessories only as
intended by the manufacturer.
 Any operation expressly prohibited in
this manual, or any adjustments and

Never place the monitor or any objects
on the power cord.
 To easily disconnect the monitor power
cord from the power outlet, ensure that
you have full access to the power cord at
all times.
 When you disconnect the power cord,
always pull the plug, never the cable.
 Disconnect the monitor from the power
outlet and aerial before lightning storms.
During lightning storms, never touch any
part of the monitor, power cord or aerial
cable.
 Risk of hearing damage! Avoid using

temperatures below 5°C, unpack the
monitor and wait until the monitor
temperature matches the room
temperature before connecting the

Screen care
 Avoid stationary images as much as
possible. Stationary images are images
that remain on-screen for extended
periods of time. Examples include:
on-screen menus, black bars and time
displays. If you must use stationary images,
reduce screen contrast and brightness to
avoid screen damage.
 Unplug the monitor before cleaning.
 Clean the monitor and frame with a soft,
damp cloth. Never use substances such as
alcohol, chemicals or household cleaners
on the monitor.
 Risk of damage to the monitor screen!
Never touch, push, rub or strike the
screen with any object.
 To avoid deformations and color fading,
wipe off water drops as soon as possible.
