SAFETY NOTICE  
1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance  
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.  
2. Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in order to comply with the  
emission limits.  
3. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized  
modification to this equipment. It is the responsibilities of the user to correct such interference.  
WARNING:  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture. Dangerously high  
voltages are present inside the monitor. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified  
personnel only.  
PRECAUTIONS  
x Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,  
swimming pool or in a wet basement.  
x Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a  
person and cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the  
manufacturer or sold with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a  
mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit instructions.  
x Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure  
reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not  
blocked or covered. Do not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place  
the monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase or  
cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.  
x The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you  
are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power  
company.  
x Unplug the unit during a lighting storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This  
will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges.  
x Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.  
x Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a  
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.  
x Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself; opening or removing covers can expose you to  
dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
x The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

PLUG AND PLAY  
Plug & Play DDC2B Feature  
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD.  
It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC  
used, communicate additional information about its display capabilities. The DDC2B is a  
bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the  
DDC2B channel.  
THIS MONITOR WILLAPPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO VIDEO  
INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE  
MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.  
This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics Standards  
Association (VESA) and/or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The  
Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK). This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy  
by reducing power consumption when there is no video-input signal present. When there is no video  
input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically switch to power saving  
mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power supply consumption. After the video input signal is  
restored, full power is restored and the display is automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to  
a "Screen Saver" feature except the display is completely off. The display is restored by pressing a  
key on the keyboard, or clicking the mouse.
