the monitor by placing your hand or 
fingers on the LCD panel.

• 

Unplug the monitor if you are not 
going to use it for an extensive 
period of time.

• 

Unplug the monitor if you need to 
clean it with a slightly damp cloth. 
The screen may be wiped with a 
dry cloth when the power is off. 
However, never use organic solvent, 
such as, alcohol, or ammonia-based 
liquids to clean your monitor.

• 

To avoid the risk of shock or 
permanent damage to the set, do 
not expose the monitor to dust, 
rain, water, or excessive moisture 
environment.

• 

If your monitor gets wet, wipe it 
with dry cloth as soon as possible. 

• 

If foreign substance or water gets in 
your monitor, please turn the power 
off immediately and disconnect 
the power cord. Then, remove the 
foreign substance or water, and 
send it to the maintenance center.

• 

Do not store or use the monitor in 
locations exposed to heat, direct 
sunlight or extreme cold.

• 

In order to maintain the best 
performance of your monitor and 
use it for a longer lifetime, please 
use the monitor in a location 
that falls within the following 
temperature and humidity ranges.

• 

Temperature: 0-40°C 32-95°F

• 

Humidity: 20-80% RH

Important information for Burn-in/
Ghost image 

• 

Always activate a moving screen 
saver program when you leave 
your monitor unattended. Always 
activate a periodic screen refresh 
application if your monitor will 
display unchanging static content. 
Uninterrupted display of still or 

static images over an extended 
period may cause “burn-in”, also 
known as “after-imaging” or “ghost 
imaging”, on your screen.

• 

“Burn-in”, “after-imaging”, or 
“ghost imaging” is a well-known 
phenomenon in LCD panel 
technology. In most cases, the 
“burn-in” or “after-imaging” or 
“ghost imaging” will disappear 
gradually over a period of time after 
the power has been switched off.

 

Warning

Failure to activate a screen saver, or 
a periodic screen refresh application 
may result in severe “burn-in” or “after-
image” or “ghost image” symptoms 
that will not disappear and cannot be 
repaired. The damage mentioned above 
is not covered under your warranty.

Service

• 

The casing cover should be opened 
only by qualified service personnel.

• 

If there is any need for any 
document for repair or integration, 
please contact with your local 
service center. (Please refer to 
Service contact information listed in 
Important information manual.) 

• 

For transportation information, 
please refer to “Technical 
Specifications”. 

• 

Do not leave your monitor in a car/
trunk under direct sun light.

 

Note

Consult a service technician if the 
monitor does not operate normally, or 
you are not sure what procedure to take 
when the operating instructions given 
in this manual have been followed.
