compared with stored selections. If its parameters are already
stored, they are installed. If they are stored, the “Auto Centering”
selection is checked and if set to “No” the best fit is displayed. The
user can then center the picture using OSD auto setup. If Auto
Centering is set to “Yes”, centering is performed automatically,
which may take more than 15 seconds. This could cause a prob-
lem if using Windows, wherein a resolution change is displayed
only for 15 seconds and reverts to its previous selection if no
acknowledgement is entered. For this reason, the default state is
“No”. NOTE this control only configures Analog Graphics inputs.

CLEANING AND MAINTANENCE
6
Cleaning
Occasionally clean the display panel and cabinet with a soft cloth dampened (not soaked) with a
mild (non-abrasive) glass cleaner. Keep turning a fresh side of the cloth toward the screen surface to
avoid scratching it with accumulated grit.
Note:
The solvent should be applied only to the cloth, and not directly on the monitor screen.
Do not use paper products as they may scratch the surface. To minimize the risk of abrasion, allow
the screen to stand dry.
Special care should be taken when cleaning a touch screen or polycarbonate shield that is installed
over the screen. Abrasive and certain chemical cleaners can easily damage the surface.
Never use alcoholic or ammoniac cleaners to clean the polycarbonate shield or a touch screen.
Note:
For best results cleaning a monitor with the optional antireflective tempered glass display shield, a
solution of denatured alcohol is recommended to thoroughly clean the display.
Other Maintenance
Qualified service personnel should perform all maintenance, except for the power cord replacement
described above.
