POWER SAVING

Maintenance

Clean the cabinet, glass panel, and controls with a soft cloth, lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

For the customers in U.S.A. If you do not do this, this monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards. � Before disconnecting the power cord, wait for at least 30 seconds after turning off the power switch to allow for the discharging of static electricity on the CRT display surface. � After the power has been turned on, the CRT is demagnetized for approximately 5 seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field around the bezel, which may affect the data stored on magnetic tape or disks near the bezel. Place such magnetic recording equipment and tapes/disks at a distance from this unit. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
