Maintenance Guidelines  
Cleaning Your Monitor  
CAUTION: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from the electrical outlet.  
For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:  
l
To clean your antistatic screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the  
antistatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.  
l
l
l
l
Use a lightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the monitor. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the monitor.  
If you notice white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth.  
Handle your monitor with care as a dark-colored monitor may scratch and show white scuff marks more than a light-colored monitor.  
To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and turn off your monitor when not in use.

Troubleshooting  
Dell™ SX2210 Flat Panel Monitor  
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the Safety Instructions.  
Self-Test  
Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly  
connected but the monitor screen remains dark, run the monitor self-test by performing the following steps:  
1. Turn off both your computer and the monitor.  
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer or monitor. To ensure proper Self-Test operation, remove the HDMI, Digital (white connector), and  
the Analog (blue connector) cables from the back of the computer or monitor.  
3. Turn on the monitor.  
The floating dialog box should appear on-screen (against a black background) if the monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly.  
While in self-test mode, the power LED remains white. Also, depending upon the selected input, one of the dialogs shown below will continuously  
scroll through the screen.  
or  
or  
4. This box also appears during normal system operation, if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.  
5. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor.  
If your monitor screen remains blank after you use the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer, because your monitor is functioning  
properly.  
Built-in Diagnostics  
Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if the screen abnormality you are experiencing is an inherent problem with your monitor, or  
with your computer system and graphic card.  
NOTE: You can run the built-in diagnostics only when the video cable is unplugged and the monitor is in self-test mode.  
To run the built-in diagnostics:  
1. Ensure that the screen is clean (no dust particles on the surface of the screen).  
2. Unplug the video cable(s) from the back of the computer or monitor. The monitor then goes into the self-test mode.  
3. On the front panel, press and hold the shortcut key 1 and shortcut key 4 keys on the front panel, simultaneously for 2 seconds. A gray screen  
appears.  
   
4. Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.  
5. Press the shortcut key 4 key on the front panel again. The color of the screen changes to red.  
6. Inspect the display for any abnormalities.  
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to inspect the display in green, blue, and white colored screens.  
The test is complete when the white screen appears. To exit, press the shortcut key 4 key again.  
If you do not detect any screen abnormalities upon using the built-in diagnostic tool, the monitor is functioning properly. Check the video card and computer.
