other devices or moving the unit.
• Unplug the unit from the mains socket during
a lightning storm and long inactivity periods
(going on holiday).
• In the interests of safety and to avoid
unnecessary energy consumption, never leave
the unit switched on while unattended for
long periods of time, e.g. overnight, while on
holiday or while out of the house. Switch it
off and disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
Mains Adapter Cable
• Make sure the unit or unit stand is not resting
on top of the mains cable, as the weight of the
unit may damage the mains cable and create
a safety hazard.
• A damaged power cord/plug can cause fire or
give you an electric shock. Handle the power
cord by the plug, do not unplug the monitor
by pulling the power cord.
• Never touch the power cord/plug with wet
hands as this could cause a short circuit or
electric shock.
• Never make a knot in the power cord or tie it
with other cords.
• If the mains cable is damaged it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
• The mains adapter will continue to draw
electricity from the mains supply when
plugged in the mains socket. In the interests
of safety and to avoid unnecessary energy
consumption, never leave the adapter
plugged in the mains socket while unattended
for long periods of time. Disconnect the
adapter from the power supply.
Use only power supplies listed in the
user instructions.
Interference
• Do not place the unit on or near appliances
which may cause electromagnetic
interference. If you do, it may adversely affect
the operating performance of the unit, and
cause a distorted picture or sound.
Optimum viewing
• View the unit in moderate light to prevent eye
strain. It is recommended to watch the unit
from a distance 3-7 times that of the screen
height.
LCD screen
• The LCD screen is manufactured using high-
precision technology. However, some tiny
black points and / or bright points (red, blue
or green in colour) may constantly appear on
the LCD screen. These points are generated in
the manufacturing process and are normal.
Screen Burn
• A characteristic of Plasma and Monitor Panels
is that displaying the same image for a long
time may cause a permanent after-image to
remain on the screen. This is called screen
burn. Most pictures shown on the unit will be
constantly moving and fill the screen.
• To prevent screen burn if viewing any of
the above for long periods of time, reduce
contrast and brightness when viewing.
Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear
completely.
Standby
• The button on the unit does not switch off the
unit completely. The unit will continue to draw
electricity from the mains supply while in
standby. In the interests of safety and to avoid
unnecessary energy consumption, never
leave the unit in standby while unattended for
long periods of time, e.g. overnight, while on
holiday or while out of the house. Disconnect
the mains plug from the mains socket.
Supervision
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the unit.
• Never let anyone especially children push
anything into the holes, slots or any other
openings in the case - this could result in a
fatal electric shock.
Earthing
• Apparatus connected to the protective
earthing of the building installation through
the MAINS connection or through other
apparatus with a connection to protective
earthing - and to a monitor distribution
system using coaxial cable, may in some
circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection
to a monitor distribution system has therefore
to be provided through a device providing
electrical isolation below a certain frequency
range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).
