4. Maintenance

To maintain the performance and appearance of your monitor, follow these guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, use a screen-cleaning solution specifically designed for monitors, applied to the cloth, not directly to the screen.
  • Dusting: Regularly dust the monitor casing and vents to prevent dust buildup, which can affect performance.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents as they can damage the monitor's surface.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the monitor's ventilation openings are not blocked to prevent overheating.

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

  • No Power: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Check if the power outlet is functional.
  • No Signal: Verify that the video cable (HDMI/VGA) is correctly connected to both the monitor and your computer. Ensure the correct input source is selected in the monitor's OSD menu.
  • Flickering or Distorted Image: Check the video cable for damage or loose connections. Try a different video cable or input port if available. Adjust the refresh rate and resolution settings on your computer.
  • Image Too Dark/Bright: Adjust the brightness and contrast settings through the monitor's OSD menu.

For more detailed troubleshooting or persistent issues, please consult the full user guide included with your product or contact customer support.
