Power

The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.

Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long periods of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges.

Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V ~, Min. 5A

The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

For use only with the attached power adapter (Output 12Vdc) which have UL,CSA listed license (Only for monitors with power adapter).

3D Troubleshooting

Ghost images that appear when viewing 3D effects may be a result of the following:

1. the display unit has not been adjusted to its optimum resolution of 1920* 1080 at 60HZ ; if a customer complains that they are unable to locate the resolution-1920*1080, a non-standard VGA cable is possibly being used (clock and data cables have been cancelled and as a result, EDID/DDC displayed can not be read), or the graphics adapter driver is abnormal. 2. Sit at a position at least 100 cm away from the display unit. Keep the line of sight horizontal to the display unit as far as possible (with the upper and lower angle of view within 10 degrees).

100cm

If the 3D effect fails, please check: 1. whether you are wearing the original 3D glasses supplied by the manufacturer and whether you are sitting within the effective viewing distance; 2. whether the 3D func tion of the display unit has been turned on; if not, please select the corresponding 3D mode.

49

Precautions when viewing 3D videos

1.View 3D videos within an effective viewing distance and viewing angle.

3D effects may not be available beyond the effective viewing distance and viewing angle.

2.For the sake of your health, do not watch 3D videos or video game screens for a long time , otherwise you may develop eye strain.

-Stop watching and rest immediately if you develop symptoms such as headaches, lethargy, fatigue, etc.

3.Pregnant women, senior citizens, and patients with impaired hearing or lethargy should watch 3D videos according to their physical abilities.

-Vivid 3D effects may make it difficult for viewers to distinguish the videos from the real world, thus leaving them frightened or excited.

4.Some vivid 3D videos may possibly make you feel like moving. Do not place fragile or dangerous articles around viewers when watching 3D videos.

5.Never allow children to watch 3D videos. These videos have a negative impact on the development of their eyesight.

6.Special precautions for people with light sensitivity: some individuals may find it difficult to watch lakes in special video games or special video modes.

7.Consult a doctor before watching a 3 D video if some members in your family have a history of epilepsy or light sensitivity.

8.The following symptoms may appear even when there is no family history of related disease:

-Stop watching 3D videos and games and consult a doctor if you feel dizzy, your sight drifts or your visual sense becomes unstable, you become unconscious, you develop cramps, you become confused, you lose your sense of direction or feel sick during or after watching 3D videos or games.

9.Symptoms for patients with light sensitivity will be relieved after following the procedures below:

-Take a 5~15 minute break every hour when watching 3D videos.

-If the eyesight prescription level between the two eyes differs, only watch 3D videos after taking proper eyesight corrective measures.

-Place the screen to watch 3D videos at eye level.

-Stop watching 3D videos and rest immediately if you feel tired, dizzy or have a headache.

-Do not watch 3D videos or games if you feel sleepy, tired or sick, or have not watched 3D videos or games for a long time.

Precautions when wearing 3D glasses:

-Do not use 3D glasses as common glasses, sunglasses or protective goggles as they may damage your eyesight;

-Do not keep 3D glasses in places that are too hot or cold. 3D glasses will be damaged. Do not use damaged glasses;

-Do not throw objects at 3D glasses. Do not press on or throw 3D glasses;
