Precautions  
This monitor can be adjusted within the angles shown below. To  
find the center of the monitor’s turning radius, align the center of  
the monitor’s screen with the centering dots on the stand.  
Warning on power connections  
• Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord,  
be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.  
For the customers in the UK  
Hold the monitor at the bottom with both hands when you turn it  
horizontally or vertically. Be careful not to pinch your fingers at  
the back of the monitor when you tilt the monitor up vertically.  
If you use the monitor in the UK, be sure to use the supplied UK  
power cable.

• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds  
after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the  
screen’s surface to discharge.  
Centering dots  
• After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized  
(degaussed) for about 5 seconds. This generates a strong  
magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored  
on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to  
keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away  
from the monitor.  
The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible  
outlet.  
Installation  
Do not install the monitor in the following places:  
• on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,  
draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes  
• near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place  
subject to direct sunlight  
• in a place subject to severe temperature changes  
• in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock  
• on an unstable surface  
• near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a  
transformer or high voltage power lines  
• near or on an electrically charged metal surface  
Maintenance  
• Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning  
liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static  
solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen’s  
coating.  
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or  
abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type  
of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.  
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly  
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type  
of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or  
benzene.  
Transportation  
When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the  
original carton and packing materials.
