• Cleaning the Casing: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the monitor casing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: If storing the monitor for an extended period, power it off, disconnect all cables, and store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your monitor, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps.

• No Power:
  • Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet.
  • Check if the power outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
• No Signal:
  • Verify that the video cable (HDMI or DisplayPort) is securely connected to both the monitor and your computer.
