To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor, use the following guidelines:
•
Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only
those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If your monitor is not
operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your Compaq authorized
dealer, reseller, or service provider.
•
Place your monitor at least 3 inches (76 mm) away from walls or other enclosures.
•
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for your monitor, as indicated on
the label on the back plate.
•
When you connect your monitor to an outlet or extension cord, be sure the total ampere
rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the current rating of the
electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products connected to the cord does
not exceed the rating of the cord.
•
Install your monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect your monitor by
grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect your monitor by
pulling the cord.
•
Place all cables in the back of the monitor.
•
Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy
of your monitor by using a screen saver program for brief idle times and turning off your
monitor when it is not in use for an extended period of time.
•
Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. If the screen requires additional
cleaning, use an LCD screen cleaner.
CAUTION:
Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other volatile substances to clean
your monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the
screen.
•
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not
be blocked or covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other
openings.
•
Do not drop your monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
•
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.
•
Do not apply pressure to the screen. Excessive pressure may damage the display.
•
Keep your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat and
moisture.
•
Store the monitor in a room temperature of –20 ~ 60
°
C (-4 ~140
°
F). Storing the monitor
outside of this range could result in permanent damage.
