Announcements:

The monitor contains magnets, which could potentially damage computer hard drives or other magnet-sensitive objects. Avoid stacking the monitor with a computer when the computer is in use (powered on or in standby mode) to prevent hard drive issues or display shutdowns. When transporting the monitor with a computer in a bag, ensure the computer is powered off to avoid hard drive damage.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning:

Turn off and unplug the monitor before cleaning. Use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth to clean the monitor surface. For stubborn stains, a cloth dampened with a mild cleaner can be used. Avoid cleaners containing alcohol or acetone, and never spray cleaner directly on the screen to prevent electric shock.

Battery Care:

The battery capacity may vary with environmental temperature, humidity, and monitor usage. The battery can present a risk of fire or chemical burn if removed or disassembled. Never attempt to short-circuit, disassemble, or reassemble the monitor battery. Discontinue use if leakage is found. Ensure used batteries are disposed of correctly and keep the battery and small components away from children. Do not burn or incinerate the battery, and avoid exposing it to excessive heat from sources like sunshine or fire.

Troubleshooting:

The manual includes a troubleshooting section (FAQ) to address common issues such as the power LED not turning on, no screen image, incorrect brightness, image distortion, color defects, and automatic monitor shutdown. Solutions typically involve checking cable connections, power sources, OSD settings, and ensuring proper computer functionality.

Eye Strain Alleviation:

To minimize eye strain, users are advised to take short, frequent breaks (at least 5 minutes after an hour of continuous use). Periodically rest eyes by focusing on distant objects and perform eye exercises (looking up/down, slowly rolling eyes, moving eyes diagonally). The monitor's blue light filter can reduce harmful blue light by up to 70% to help prevent Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).

Important Safety Information:

Always read the documentation before setup. Do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture. Never attempt to open the cabinet. Ensure all cables are correctly connected and undamaged. Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes, and place the monitor on a stable surface. Do not push objects or spill liquid into the slots. If technical problems arise, contact a qualified service technician or retailer. The monitor's USB power complies with LPS and SELV circuits. Do not dispose of the product in fire or use it near heating equipment. Keep the monitor away from sharp objects and do not place objects on top of it. If using batteries, ensure correct polarity and proper disposal.
