ASUS LCD Monitor PG Series

Care & Cleaning

•  Before you lift or reposition your monitor, it is better to disconnect the 

cables and power cord. Follow the correct lifting techniques when 

positioning the monitor. When lifting or carrying the monitor, grasp the 

edges of the monitor. Do not lift the display by the stand or the cord.

•  Cleaning. Turn your monitor off and unplug the power cord. Clean the 

monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Stubborn stains 

may be removed with a cloth dampened with mild cleaner.

•  Avoid using a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner 

intended for use with the LCD. Never spray cleaner directly on the 

screen, as it may drip inside the monitor and cause an electric shock.

This symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the 

product (electrical, electronic equipment, and mercury-containing 

button cell battery) should not be placed in municipal waste. 

Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.

The following symptoms are normal with the monitor:

•  The screen may flicker during the initial use due to the nature of the 

fluorescent light. Turn off the Power Switch and turn it on again to 

make sure that the flicker disappears.

•  You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on 

the desktop pattern you use.

•  When the same image is displayed for hours, an afterimage of the 

previous screen may remain after switching the image. The screen will 

recover slowly or you can turn off the Power Switch for hours.

•  When the screen becomes black or flashes, or cannot work anymore, 

contact your dealer or service center to fix it. Do not repair the screen 

by yourself!
