7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning the Monitor

• Always unplug the monitor from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen and exterior surfaces.
• For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive screen cleaner. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.
• Avoid using alcohol, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the screen or casing.

7.2 OLED Panel Care

OLED technology offers superior image quality but requires specific care to prevent potential image retention (burn-in). The monitor includes built-in features to mitigate this:

• Screen Care: A pixel refresh function that runs automatically after a certain period of use or when the monitor enters standby.
• Deep Care: A more thorough pixel refresh that takes longer to complete. It is recommended to run this periodically.
• Screensaver: Activates after a set idle time to prevent static images from remaining on the screen for too long.

It is recommended to enable and allow these features to operate as designed. Avoid displaying static images for extended periods, and utilize screen savers or power-saving modes when not actively using the monitor.
