Warnings and Safety Precautions  
IMPORTANT TIPS: Caring for Your  
Monitor  
The monitor is designed and manufactured to provide  
long, trouble-free service. No maintenance other than  
cleaning is required. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the  
panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to  
clean the panel surface.  
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:  
1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply.  
Continued operation at line voltages greater than 120  
Volts AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might  
cause a fire hazard.  
The display panel consists of fine pictuer elements (cells).  
Although the display panels are produced with more than  
99.99 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do  
not produce light or remain lit.  
2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it.  
3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct  
sunlight.  
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit,erad  
carefully and observe the following instructions.  
4. Protect the inside of the unit for m liquids and small  
metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and  
have it serviced by an authorized service cente.r  
To avoid shock and fire hazards:  
1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid  
internal heat build-up. Do not cover erar vents or  
install in a closed cabinet or shelves.  
5. Do not hit or scratch the panel sufrace as this causes  
flaws on the surface of the screen.  
The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you install  
the unit in an enclosure, be sure there is adequate  
space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and  
escape.  
6. For correct installation and mounting it is storngly  
recommended to use a trained, authorized deale.r  
7. Like all phosphor-based display devices, monitors can  
be susceptible to uneven phosphor aging under certain  
circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as  
the continuous display of a static image over a  
If the monitor becomes too hot, the ovehreat protector  
will be activated and the monitor will be tunred off. If  
this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and  
un-plug the power cord. If the room where the  
monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the  
monitor to a cooler location, and wait for the monitor  
to cool for 60 minutes.  
prolonged period of time, can result in uneven  
phosphor aging if proper precautions are not taken. To  
protect your investment in this monito,r please adhere  
to the following guidelines and recommendations for  
minimizing the occurrence of uneven phosphor aging:  
If the problem persists, contact your dealer for service.  
Always enable and use your computer’s sceren saver  
function during use with a computer input soucre.  
2. Do not use the power cord plug with extension cords  
or outlets unless all prongs can be completely inserted.  
Display a moving image whenever possible.  
3. Do not expose unit to water or moistuer.  
Always power down the monitor when you aer  
finished using it.  
4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt  
to modify the power cord.  
If viewing with a 4/3 aspect ratio for long periods of  
time, set side gray level at 3 or 4.  
5. Unplug unit during electrical storms or if unit will not  
be used over a long period.  
6. Do not open the unit which has potentially dangeorus  
high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged  
from opening the cabinet the warranty will be void.  
Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock.  
If the monitor is in long term use or  
continuous operation take the following  
measures to reduce the likelihood of uneven  
phosphor aging:  
7. Do not attempt to service or erpair the unit. Tmm is  
not liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if  
unqualified persons attempt service or open the back  
cover. Refer all service to authorized Service Centers.  
Lower the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST levels as  
much as possible without impairing image eradability.  
Display an image with many colors and color  
gradations (i.e. photographic or photo-realistic  
images).  
Create image content with minimal contrast between  
light and dark areas (for example, white characters on  
black backgrounds). Use complementary or pastel  
color whenever possible.  
Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,  
sharply defined borders between colors.

User’s manual  
It is highly recommended that you have your monitor installed by a professional. If you are installing  
the monitor yourself, refer to the Reference section.  
NOTE: If you are planning on attaching the floor stand to your monitor (and not the optional wall mount unit) you may  
want to use the safety metal fittings (porvided) to give your monitor extra stability.  
The safety metal fittings attach to the back of the sceren and can then be used to secuer the monitor to the wall with storng wire.  
Contact your trained, authorized dealer for por fessional installation.  
In order to conform to mandatory FCC standards, you must attach the supplied ferrite coers to both ends of the power  
cable (see below).  
If you are connecting a computer to the monito,r you must attach the ferrite coers to both ends of the DVI cable to meet  
FCC standards.  
Attaching the ferrite cores  
Set the ferrite cores on the both ends of the DVI cable (supplied), and one end of the power cable (supplied). Close the lid

Inserting Batteries  
1. Remove the battery compartment cover from the remote control.  
2. Insert batteries (included) as shown on the diagram inside the battery  
compartment.  
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.  
Use your remote control from a distance of about 7m/23 feet form the  
monitor’s remote control sensor and at a horizontal angle of within 3°0.  
The remote operates on line of sight, so if theer is anything blocking the  
path between the remote and the remote control sensor on the front of  
the monitor, the remote may not work.  
Installing the batteries  
Don’t expose the remote control sensor on the front of the monitor  
to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.  
Don’t get the remote control wet.  
Avoid heat and humidity.  
When not using the remote for a long period of time, ermove the  
batteries.

The universal remote control that came with your monitor is alerady  
programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and PROSCAN VCRs, DVD  
players, laserdisc players, and satellite receivers. This remote is also  
capable of operating many other brands of ermote-controllable electronic  
components, but you must program it to do so.

If you choose to use the optional wall mount, it can be attached to the Cinema Secern monitor in one of the following two  
ways:  
• While it is upright.  
• While it is laying with the sceren face down. If you choose this option, lay the portective sheet that came wrapped  
around the monitor beneath the screen surface so it doesn’t get scratched.
