Power
The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will
fit only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug,
have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounded plug.
Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long periods of time. This will protect the
monitor from damage due to power surges.
Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate
configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V ~, Min. 5A
The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
For use only with the attached power adapter (Output 20Vdc)
Manufacturers: TPV ELECTRONICS（FUJIAN）CO.,LTD. Model: ADPC20120

AOC PIXEL POLICY
ISO 9241-307 CLASS 1
July 25th, 2013
AOC strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of the industry’s most advanced manufacturing
processes and practice stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub pixel defects on the TFT monitor panels
used in flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free
from pixel defects, but AOC guarantees that any monitor with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired or
replaced under warranty. This Pixel Policy explains the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable
defect levels for each type. In order to qualify for repair or replacement under warranty, the number of pixel defects
on a TFT monitor panel must exceed these acceptable levels.
Pixels and Sub Pixel Definition
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub pixels in the primary colors of red, green and blue. When all
sub pixels of pixel are lit, the three colored sub pixel together appear as a single white pixel. When all are dark, the
three colored sub pixels together appear as a single black pixel.
Types of Pixel Defects
Bright Dot Defects: the monitor displays a dark pattern, sub pixels or pixels are always lit or “on”
Black Dot Defects: the monitor displays a light pattern, sub pixels or pixels are always dark or “off”.
