Troubleshooting 
 
Before calling service personnel, please check the following chart for a possible solution:   
 
No image appears 
Is the power cord of the monitor 
connected? 
Check and see if the power cord is connected properly to the power 
outlet.    Is the main power switch in the “|” position? 
Is the power indicator amber? 
If yes, press the “on” button on the remote control or side panel. 
 
The screen color is not normal 
Is the screen color unstable or 
monochrome? 
Check the connection of the source cable to ensure a proper fit.   
Do you see black dots on the 
screen? 
Clean surface with soft cloth.     
Do you see a partial blurring on 
the screen? 
This happens due to interference from surrounding magnetic fields, 
as created when speakers, steel structures, or high-voltage lines are 
placed near the monitor. Remove such materials from the 
immediate vicinity and use the OSD menu to adjust the screen.
