Maintenance of Your Monitor

WARNING: To avoid risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the monitor cabi-
net. The unit is not user-serviceable. User maintenance is restricted to cleaning
as explained below:
Unplug the monitor from the power outlet before cleaning.
•
To clean your antistatic screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water or mild
detergent. If possible, use a special screen cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the
antistatic coating.
•
To clean the monitor cabinet, use a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent.
•
Wipe off stubborn stains from the cabinet or screen with a cloth lightly dampened in
alcohol (methyl, ethyl or isopropyl). Do not use benzine, thinner, ammonia, abrasive
cleaners, or compressed air.

Monitor Self Test

Your monitor provides a self test feature which allows you to check if your monitor is func-
tioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor
screen remains dark and the power indicator is blinking, use the following steps to perform
the monitor self test:
1.
Turn off both your computer and the monitor.
2.
Unplug the video cable from the computer or video card.
3.
Turn on the monitor.
If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a white box with a red border and
black text inside stating:
This box will also appear during normal operation of your system if the video cable
becomes disconnected or damaged.
4.
Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your
computer and monitor.
If your monitor screen remains blank after using the above procedure, check your video
controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly.
