To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture. When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible. If turning off the monitor by detaching power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds, then attach the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation. To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to rain or excessive moisture. When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible. IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application . If a still image in high contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave a so called "after-image" or "ghost image" in front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in the LCD technology. Most of the time the after-image will disappear gradually over a period of time after switching off the power. Be aware that the after-image symptom can not be repaired and is not covered under warranty. Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when operating instructions of this manual are followed.
