5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Monitor

To maintain optimal display quality and extend the life of your monitor, follow these cleaning guidelines:

• Always turn off the monitor and unplug the power cord before cleaning.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a non-abrasive screen cleaner.
• Gently wipe the screen and exterior surfaces. Avoid applying excessive pressure.
• Do not use alcohol, ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive solvents, as these can damage the screen coating.
• Avoid spraying liquid directly onto the screen or into any openings.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your monitor, refer to the following common solutions:

6.1 No Power / No Display

• Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet.
• Verify that the power button on the monitor is pressed.
• Check if the power outlet is functional by plugging in another device.

6.2 No Signal / Blank Screen

• Confirm that the video cable (DP or HDMI) is securely connected to both the monitor and your computer's graphics card.
• Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor via the OSD menu.
• Test with a different video cable or port if available.
• Verify that your computer is powered on and not in sleep mode.

6.3 Display Issues (Flickering, Distorted Image)

• Check the video cable for damage or loose connections.
• Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date.
• Adjust the refresh rate settings in your operating system to match the monitor's native refresh rate (240Hz).
• If using the 280Hz overclock feature, note that it may operate for a limited time (approx. 30 minutes) before reverting to 240Hz. This is normal behavior.
• Minor backlight bleeding may be observed in very dark scenes, which is a characteristic of some VA panels and not typically a defect.
