Care & Cleaning
• Before you lift or reposition your monitor, it is better to disconnect the cables and
power cord. Follow the correct lifting techniques when positioning the monitor. When
lifting or carrying the monitor, grasp the edges of the monitor. Do not lift the display by
the stand or the cord.

with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth
dampened with mild cleaner.

with the LCD. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen, as it may drip inside the
monitor and cause an electric shock.
The following symptoms are normal with the monitor:
• The screen may flicker during the initial use due to the nature of the fluorescent light.
Turn off the Power Switch and turn it on again to make sure that the flicker disappears.
• You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop
pattern you use.
• When the same image is displayed for hours, an afterimage of the previous screen
may remain after switching the image. The screen will recover slowly or you can turn
off the Power Switch for hours.
• When the screen becomes black or flashes, or cannot work anymore, contact your
dealer or service center to fix it. Do not repair the screen by yourself!
