Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor: G Unplug the monitor if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.
G Unplug the monitor if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen many be wiped with a dry cloth when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents or ammonia-based liquids. G Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions in this manual.

G Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s electronics. G Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet. G Keep the monitor dry.
To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture. G When positioning the monitor make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible. G If turning off the monitor by detaching power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds before attaching the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation. G To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set do not expose the monitor to rain or excessive moisture. G IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application. If a still image in high contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave an 'after-image' or 'ghost image' on front of the screen.
This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In most cases the after-image will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware that the after-image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.
