Safety Instructions  
Observe the following safety guidelines when connecting and using your monitor:  
Be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.  
Locate your monitor near an easily accessible electrical outlet.  
Place the monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen can be damaged if dropped, sharply hit, or touched  
with a sharp or abrasive implement.  
Put your monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust.  
Never use your monitor if the power cable has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable, and  
keep the cable away from where people could trip over it.  
Never insert anything metallic into the monitor openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock.  
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the monitor’s case.  
Be sure to hold the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the monitor from an electrical outlet.  
Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be  
blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Doing so may block the  
ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space,  
be sure to provide adequate ventilation.  
Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water. If the monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an  
authorized dealer immediately. You can clean the exterior of the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, but be sure  
to unplug the monitor first.  
If your monitor does not operate normally-in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it-unplug  
the monitor immediately and contact an authorized dealer or service center.

Troubleshooting Tips  
Monitor Has No Power  
If the monitor’s power indicator is off and no image appears on the display, perform the following checks:  
Ensure that the power cable is fully inserted in the monitor’s power port and the electrical outlet.  
Test the electrical outlet by plugging in a working electrical device such as a lamp.  
Ensure that the power button has been depressed, and wait for the power indicator to light.  
Try another power cable on the monitor. Use the computer’s power cable and turn on the monitor with the signal cable  
disconnected. If the monitor is working correctly, a self-test pattern appears.  
No Image Is Displayed on the Monitor  
If the monitor power indicator is on but no image appears on the display, perform the following checks:  
Ensure that the video connector is seated properly. Tighten the connector screws securely with your fingers.  
Ensure that the computer is on.  
Increase brightness and contrast controls.  
Turn off the monitor and unplug the signal cable. Check the cable connector for bent or broken pins.  
With the signal cable still disconnected, turn on the monitor. If the monitor is working correctly, a self-test pattern  
appears.  
Perform a monitor reset or recall.
