• Ensure adequate ventilation around the monitor.
• Do not place heavy objects on the monitor or its cables.
• Unplug the monitor from the power outlet during lightning storms or when unused for extended periods.

6. 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 the power outlet. Check if the power adapter is functioning correctly.
• No Signal: Verify that the video cable (HDMI or VGA) is properly connected to both the monitor and the computer. Ensure the correct input source is selected in the OSD menu. Try restarting your computer.
• Image is Blurry/Distorted: Check the display resolution settings on your computer to ensure they match the monitor's native resolution (1600 x 900). For VGA connections, use the 'Auto Adjust' function in the OSD menu if available.
• Flickering Screen: Ensure the refresh rate is set correctly (75Hz recommended). Check for loose cable connections. If the issue persists, try disabling any eye protection features temporarily to see if they are contributing.
• Incorrect Colors: Reset color settings to default in the OSD menu. Ensure the video cable is not damaged.
