Warnings and Safety Precautions

The monitor is designed and manufactured to provide

long, trouble-free service. No maintenance other than

cleaning is required. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the

panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to

clean the panel surface.

The display panel consists of fine picture elements (cells).

Although the display panels are produced with more than

99.99 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do

not produce light or remain lit.

For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, read

carefully and observe the following instructions.

To avoid shock and fire hazards:

1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid

internal heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or

install in a closed cabinet or shelves.

The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you install

the unit in an enclosure, be sure there is adequate

space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and

escape.

If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector

will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If

this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and

un-plug the power cord. If the room where the

monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the

monitor to a cooler location, and wait for the monitor

to cool for 60 minutes.

If the problem persists, contact your dealer for service.

2. Do not use the power cord plug with extension cords

or outlets unless all prongs can be completely inserted.

3. Do not expose unit to water or moisture.

4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt

to modify the power cord.

5. Unplug unit during electrical storms or if unit will not

be used over a long period.

6. Do not open the unit which has potentially dangerous

high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged

from opening the cabinet the warranty will be void.

Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock.

7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. Tmm is

not liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if

unqualified persons attempt service or open the back

cover. Refer all service to authorized Service Centers.

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply.

Continued operation at line voltages greater than 120

Volts AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might

cause a fire hazard.

2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it.

3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct

sunlight.

4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small

metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and

have it serviced by an authorized service center.

5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes

flaws on the surface of the screen.

6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly

recommended to use a trained, authorized dealer.

7. Like all phosphor-based display devices, monitors can

be susceptible to uneven phosphor aging under certain

circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as

the continuous display of a static image over a

prolonged period of time, can result in uneven

phosphor aging if proper precautions are not taken. To

protect your investment in this monitor, please adhere

to the following guidelines and recommendations for

minimizing the occurrence of uneven phosphor aging:

• Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver

function during use with a computer input source.

• Display a moving image whenever possible.

• Always power down the monitor when you are

finished using it.

• If viewing with a 4/3 aspect ratio for long periods of

time, set side gray level at 3 or 4.

If the monitor is in long term use or

continuous operation take the following

measures to reduce the likelihood of uneven

phosphor aging:

• Lower the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST levels as

much as possible without impairing image readability.

• Display an image with many colors and color

gradations (i.e. photographic or photo-realistic

images).

• Create image content with minimal contrast between

light and dark areas (for example, white characters on

black backgrounds). Use complementary or pastel

color whenever possible.

• Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,

sharply defined borders between colors.

Using Your Remote Control

Inserting Batteries

1. Remove the battery compartment cover from the remote control.

2. Insert batteries (included) as shown on the diagram inside the battery

compartment.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Use your remote control from a distance of about 7m/23 feet from the

monitor’s remote control sensor and at a horizontal angle of within 30°.

The remote operates on line of sight, so if there is anything blocking the

path between the remote and the remote control sensor on the front of

the monitor, the remote may not work.

• Don’t expose the remote control sensor on the front of the monitor

to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.

• Don’t get the remote control wet.

• Avoid heat and humidity.

• When not using the remote for a long period of time, remove the

batteries.

Programming the Remote

The universal remote control that came with your monitor is already

programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and PROSCAN VCRs, DVD

players, laserdisc players, and satellite receivers. This remote is also

capable of operating many other brands of remote-controllable electronic

components, but you must program it to do so.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed,

turn on one of your components, such as a VCR. Point the remote control

at the component and press the component button (for example, the VCR

button). Now press the ON•OFF button on the remote. If the component

doesn’t turn off, you need to program the remote control in order for it to

operate that component.
