FCC Class BRadio Frequency Interference Statement
WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS)
NOTE:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTICE:
1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
2. Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in order to
comply with the emission limits.
3. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused
by unauthorized modification to this equipment. It is the responsibilities of
the user to correct such interference.
WARNING:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture.
Dangerously high voltages are present inside the monitor. Do not open the cabinet.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

PRECAUTIONS
zDo not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
zDo not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls,
it can injure a person and cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a
cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the monitor. If
you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the
manufacturer and follow the kit instructions.
zSlots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it from
overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place
the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place the monitor
near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase
or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
zThe monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated
on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home,
consult your dealer or local power company.
zThe monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a
third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet as a
safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug, have
an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the
appliance safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
zUnplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for long
period of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges.
zDo not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in
fire or electric shock.
zNever push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short
circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.
zDo not attempt to service the monitor by yourself; opening or removing covers
can expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
zTo ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers
which have appropriate configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V AC,
Min. 5A.
zThe wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.

This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC 2B capabilities according to the VESA
DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and,
depending on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information about
its display capabilities.
The DDC 2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the IC protocol. The host can
request EDID information over the DDC 2B channel.
THISMONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IFTHEREISNO VIDEO
INPUT SIGNAL. INORDER FOR THISMONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE
MUST BE AVIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.
This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics
Standards Association (VESA)
and The Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK).
This feature is
designed to conserve electrical energy by reducing power
consumption
when
there is no video-input signal present. When there is no video input signal
This reduces the monitor's internal power supply consumption. After the video
input signal is restored, full power is restored and the display is automatically
redrawn. The appearance is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature except the display is
completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or
clicking the mouse.
