Safety
Warning Never remove the case from the display or power adapter! You could come
in contact with hazardous voltage. Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused.
Operation of this product, or similar products, must always be supervised by an adult.
Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical product and do not
permit them to handle any cables.
Important The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the power cord
from the computer or electrical outlet. Make sure at least one end of the power cord is
within easy reach so that you can unplug the display when you need to.
Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cord) if any of the following
conditions exists:
Healthy Use of Your Computer Equipment
m the power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged
m you spill something into the case

Here are some guidelines for adjusting the furniture in your work area to accommodate
your physical size and shape.
For more health and safety information about your computer equipment, open Mac Help
from the Help menu when you’re in the Finder. You can also see the following (English
only) World Wide Web site:
m An adjustable chair that provides firm, comfortable support is best. Adjust the height
of the chair so your thighs are horizontal and your feet flat on the floor. The back of
the chair should support your lower back (lumbar region). Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for adjusting the backrest to fit your body properly.
General Maintenance
m When you use the computer keyboard, your shoulders should be relaxed. Your upper
arm and forearm should form an approximate right angle, with your wrist and hand in
roughly a straight line. Make sure the armrests of your chair don’t interfere with your
positioning. You may have to raise your chair so your forearms and hands are at the
proper angle to the keyboard. If this makes it impossible to rest your feet flat on the
floor, you can use a footrest with adjustable height and tilt to make up for any gap
between the floor and your feet. Or try lowering the desktop to eliminate the need for
a footrest. Another option is to use a desk with a keyboard tray that is lower than the
regular work surface.
To maintain your Apple Cinema Display and ensure its long life:
m Do not block the display’s vents.
m Do not let liquid get on or into the display.
m Do not press on the surface of the display screen.
m Do not write on the screen or touch the screen with a sharp object.
m Turn off your monitor when the computer is idle for a prolonged time.
m Position the mouse at the same height as your keyboard. Allow adequate space to use
m If you will not be using your display and computer for a day or more, turn off the
the mouse comfortably to the immediate right or left.
computer and display or use Energy Saver.
m Position the monitor directly in front of you with the keyboard directly in line with the
monitor. The best distance from your eyes to the screen is up to you, although most
people seem to prefer 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm).
Important Using a screen saver program to prevent damage to your screen will reduce
the life span of the monitor backlighting feature.
m Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections on the screen from overhead
lights and windows. Tilt the monitor to the best angle for viewing, helping to reduce
or eliminate glare from lighting sources you can’t move.
Cleaning the Screen and Case
Your Apple Cinema Display comes with a cleaning cloth for wiping it down. If you need
to clean the screen or case beyond wiping it down, follow these instructions:
m Adjust the brightness of the screen to ensure the best image quality and viewing
comfort.
1 Turn your computer and display off.
2 Disconnect the display’s power cord from the electrical outlet or power strip.
16
If you are not sure whether your computer or graphics card has the appropriate built-in
video capability, check with an Apple-authorized dealer.
3 Disconnect the USB and DVI cables from the back of the computer.
4 Clean the screen with soft, lint-free paper or cloth dampened with mild soap and
water.
Note: If you’re using more than one display, you may need a graphics card for each
display you are using.
Warning Do not spray liquid directly onto the display screen. Liquid could drip
inside the display and cause electrical shock.
Conserving Energy
5 Wipe the case surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth dampened with water.
You can use the Energy Saver control panel to set your monitor to conserve energy after
a specified period of inactivity. When the Energy Saver detects that you’re not using the
computer, it darkens the monitor screen and reduces the amount of energy it consumes.
To wake up the monitor, press any key on the keyboard. For more information about
using Energy Saver, choose Mac Help from the Help menu in the Finder. Also see the
