Maintenance Guidelines  
Cleaning Your Monitor  
CAUTION: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from the electrical outlet.  
For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:  
l
To clean your antistatic screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the  
antistatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.  
l
l
l
l
Use a lightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the monitor. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the monitor.  
If you notice white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth.  
Handle your monitor with care as darker-colored monitor may scratch and show white scuff marks more than lighter-colored monitor.  
To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and turn off your monitor when not in use.

Troubleshooting the Monitor  
Self-Test Feature Check  
Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly  
connected but the monitor screen remains dark, run the monitor self-test by performing the following steps:  
1. Turn off both your computer and the monitor.  
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. To ensure proper Self-Test operation, remove both Digital (white connector) and the Analog (blue  
connector) cables from the back of computer.  
3. Turn on the monitor.  
The floating dialog box should appear on-screen (against a black background) if the monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly.  
While in self-test mode, the power LED remains green. Also, depending upon the selected input, one of the dialogs shown below will continuously  
scroll through the screen.  
or  
4. This box also appears during normal system operation if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.  
5. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor.  
If your monitor screen remains blank after you use the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer, because your monitor is functioning  
properly.  
NOTE: Self test feature check is not available for S-Video, Composite, and Component video modes.
