1. IMPORTANT SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
This wide active matrix TFT (thin film transistor) liquid crystal monitor is designed for use as
a stand alone MONITOR as well as a display device for video electronics appliances and
personal computers.
1.1. Important Information
Warning : To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or
moisture.
Caution : To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not attempt to disassemble or modify this
device. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer any service issues to
qualified service personnel.
Caution : FCC/ CSA regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this
equipment may void the user's authority to operate it.
Important: One Federal Court has held that unauthorized recording of copyrighted MONITOR
programs is an infringement of U.S. copyright laws. Certain Canadian programs may also be
copyrighted and any unauthorized recording in whole or in part may be in violation of these
rights.
Warning : Do not leave stationary images, patterns, PIP windows, or letterbox images on
the screen for prolonged periods of time as this may result in permanent damage to the
LCD panel. This type of damage is not covered under warranty. The following are
examples of, but not limited to, potentially hazardous display output: side bar images,
video game patterns, closed captioning, channel logos and letterbox black bars. To
prevent this type of damage, it is recommended to display constantly moving images that
fill the screen as often as possible.
According to industrial standards for LCD display technology; there are a certain number of
allowable defective pixels. Although we produce panels with more than 99.9% active cells,
there still may be some cells that do not produce light or remain constantly lit. For further
information, please contact sales or technical support.
CAUTION
Risk of electric
shock. Do not open.
The symbol is intended to alert the user to presence of un-insulated ”Hazardous Voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
The symbol is intended to alert the user that improper use of the product may result in
product malfunction. The user should pay attention to avoid accidents or unnecessary
problems.
