Safety Instructions

Before connecting the AC power cord to an outlet, make sure the voltage designation on your monitor corresponds to the local electrical supply. Never insert anything metallic into the monitor openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock. To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the monitors case. Never use your monitor if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and keep the cord away from areas where people can trip over it. Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the monitor from an electric socket. Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
Put your monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust. Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, near swimming pools, etc.). If the monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately. You can clean the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, but be sure to unplug the monitor first. Place the monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if dropped, hit or scratched. Locate your monitor near an easily accessible AC outlet. If your monitor does not operate normally in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it unplug it immediately and contact an authorized dealer or service center. High temperatures can cause problems. Dont use your monitor in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat. Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time. Unplug your monitor from the AC outlet before any service.
CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

PowerSaver

This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system saves energy by switching your monitor into a low-power mode when it has not been used for a certain amount of time. The monitor automatically returns to normal operation when you move the computer's mouse or press a key on the keyboard. For energy conservation, turn your monitor OFF when it is not needed, or when leaving it unattended for long periods. The PowerSaver system operates with a VESA DPMS compliant video card installed in your computer. Use a software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature.
