Operating Precautions  
The LCD panel and backlight have life expectancy. Due to the basic characteristics of the LCD panel, an afterimage or uneven display  
may occur. It is recommended that you change images occasionally, activate the power saving function, or often turn off the power to  
reduce the load on the LCD panel. Continuous operations of the LCD panel may accelerate the deterioration.  
Caution for use of the product for many hours  
In the case that you use the monitor for many hours, we recommend that you set “No Sync Action” in “Sync Function” to “Power Save” in  
Main Menu. This will reduce power consumption and relieve strain on the monitor. To reduce damage to the LCD panel, using the LCD  
Saver function is recommended.  
Caution for use of the product in the high temperature  
Do not use the product in places of high temperature; otherwise, parts of this product or the LCD panel may be damaged. This product is  
equipped with a temperature sensor to give warning if the temperature becomes too high. If the temperature exceeds the range of normal  
use, “Temp. Over” is displayed, and the power is turned off automatically if the temperature becomes any higher. In this case, move the  
product to a place of low temperature to let it cool down.
