Maintenance Guidelines
Cleaning Your Monitor
WARNING: Read and follow the Safety Instructions before cleaning the
monitor.
WARNING: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable
from the electrical outlet.
For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking,
cleaning, or handling your monitor:
• To clean your antistatic screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with
water. If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution
suitable for the antistatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner,
ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.
• Use a lightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the monitor. Avoid using
detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the
monitor.
• If you notice white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off
with a cloth.
• Handle your monitor with care as dark-colored monitors may scratch
and show white scuff marks more than light-colored monitors.
• To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a
dynamically changing screen saver and turn Off your monitor when
not in use.
