4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your monitor, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning the Screen: Gently wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-specific cleaning solution. Never spray liquid directly onto the screen.
• Cleaning the Casing: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the monitor casing. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings on the monitor are clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating.
• Power Off: Always turn off and unplug the monitor before cleaning or when it will not be used for an extended period.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your cocopar HG-245HCW monitor, please refer to the following common solutions:

• No Signal / Unstable Connection (Type-C): If using a Type-C connection and experiencing "no signal" or unstable connection, it may be due to static electricity accumulation. It is highly recommended to connect an earth wire (grounding) for stable operation. Ensure your device's Type-C port supports video output (DP Alt Mode). Use the provided Type-C cable for optimal performance, as some third-party cables may only support power delivery.
• Refresh Rate Not Reaching 200Hz: The 200Hz refresh rate is the maximum supported. The default may be 60Hz. You must adjust the refresh rate settings on your connected device (PC, game console), not on the monitor itself. The maximum refresh rate achievable can vary depending on the specifications of the connected device and the connection method.
• PS4/PS5 Refresh Rate: The maximum output refresh rate for PS4/PS5 is 120Hz. Some games may only support up to 60Hz. Even for 120fps compatible games, the standby screen might remain at 60Hz, with 120Hz only active during gameplay scenes.
• Screen Appears Glossy / Marks on Screen: Before use, please peel off the protective film located on the upper right corner of the screen. This film is prone to dirt and scratches, which can appear as smudges, lines, or missing dots. Some films may also have inverted text imprinted on them. If this film is not removed, the screen may appear glossy.
• No Power: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Verify the power outlet is functional.
• No Sound from Speakers: Check the volume settings on both the monitor and the connected device. Ensure the audio output is correctly routed to the monitor.
