•Keep your display clean.
•Keep your head at a higher level than the top edge of the display so your
eyes point downward when looking at the middle of the display.
•Adjust the display brightness and/or contrast to a comfortable level for
enhanced text readability and graphics clarity.
•Eliminate glare and reflections by:
•placing your display in such a way that the side faces the window or
any light source
•minimizing room light by using drapes, shades or blinds
•using a task light
•changing the display's viewing angle
•using a glare-reduction filter
•using a display visor, such as a piece of cardboard extended from the
display's top front edge
•Avoid adjusting your display to an awkward viewing angle.
•Avoid looking at bright light sources, such as open windows, for extended
periods of time.
Developing good work habits

into an AC outlet.
For unit using at 120 V AC:
Use a UL Listed Cord Set, Type SVT wire and plug rated 10 A/125 V.
For unit using at 220/240 V AC (outside of U.S.):
Use a Cord Set consisting of H05VV-F cord and plug rated 10 A, 250 V. The
cord set should have the appropriate safety approvals for the country in
which the equipment will be installed.
SAFETY PRECAUTION

MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) (Only for MHL-input Models)
Mobile High-Definition Link is a digital interface for transmitting video and
audio from an external portable device. It is also capable of charging a
portable device (5 V @ 500 mA).
Connecting the devices
Plug the MHL-certified cable into the display's HDMI® (MHL) port and the
portable device's HDMI®-out port.
Using MHL
MHL-certified portable devices will automatically display content on the
monitor, provided the output display and audio formats are supported by the
portable device.
When the portable device is in standby mode, the monitor will show a black
screen or turn to standby mode, depending on the portable device's output
signal.
Due to the difference in size and resolution between the monitor and the
portable device, you may find the display quality not as crisp as it appears on
the portable device.
This may be due to the portable device changing the output format.
This monitor only receives content from the portable device. It is not capable
of controlling the portable device.
