4. Maintenance
4.1. Cleaning
To clean the monitor screen and casing, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive screen cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the screen and finish.
4.2. Firmware Updates
The monitor supports remote firmware updates. Periodically check for available updates through the system settings to ensure optimal performance, security, and access to new features. Follow the on-screen prompts carefully during the update process.
4.3. System Reset
In case of system issues, a remote reset or restoration to factory parameters is possible. This function should be used with caution as it will erase all user-configured settings. Consult the system administrator or technical support before performing a factory reset.
