About your monitor | 29
CAUTION: Using chemicals for cleaning may cause changes in the
appearance of the monitor, such as color fading, milky film on the monitor,
deformation, uneven dark shade, and peeling of screen area.
WARNING: Do not spray the cleaning solution or even water directly on
the monitor surface. Doing so will allow liquids to accumulate at the
bottom of the display panel and corrode the electronics resulting in
permanent damage. Instead, apply the cleaning solution or water to a soft
cloth and then clean the monitor.
NOTE: Monitor damage due to improper cleaning methods and the use of
benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, alcohol, compressed air,
detergent of any kind will lead to a Customer Induced Damage (CID).
CID is not covered under the standard Dell warranty.
• If you notice white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with
a cloth.
• Handle your monitor with care as a darker-colored monitor may get
scratched and show white scuff marks more than a lighter-colored monitor.
• To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically
changing screen saver and turn off your monitor when not in use.
