Installation
Do not install or leave the monitor:
• In places subject to extreme temperatures, for example near a 
radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the 
monitor to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile 
parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could cause 
deformations of the casing or malfunctions.
• In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.
• Near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field, 
such as a TV or various other household appliances.
• In places subject to inordinate amounts of dust, dirt, or sand, for 
example near an open window or an outdoor exit. If setting up 
temporarily in an outdoor environment, be sure to take 
adequate precautions against airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise 
irreparable malfunctions could occur.
Place this unit on a flat surface. Do not place it on an uneven 
surface like the edge of a desk. If a part of this unit sticks out from 
such surface, it may fall or cause damaged and injury.
Handling the LCD screen
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage 
the LCD screen. Take care when you place the monitor by a 
window.
• Do not push on or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy 
object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose 
uniformity or cause LCD panel malfunctions.
• If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual image may 
appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen 
returns to normal as the temperature rises to a normal operating 
level.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image 
may appear for a while. The residual image will eventually 
disappear.
• The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a 
malfunction.
Note on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
Please note that the LCD screen is made with high-
precision technology. However, black points or bright 
points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear 
constantly on the LCD screen, and irregular colored 
stripes or brightness may appear on the LCD screen. 
This is not malfunction.

Maintenance
• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before 
cleaning your monitor.
• Clean the LCD screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass 
cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an 
anti-static solution or similar additive as this may scratch the 
LCD screen’s coating.
• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth lightly 
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type 
of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or 
benzine.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or 
abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type 
of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.
• Note that material deterioration or LCD screen coating 
degradation may occur if the monitor is exposed to volatile 
solvents such as insecticide, or if prolonged contact is 
maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.
Transportation
• Disconnect all cables from the monitor and grasp the monitor 
firmly with both hands when transporting. If you drop the
