4. Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync Compatible)

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Screen

To clean the monitor screen, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a non-abrasive screen cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

2. Cleaning the Casing

Wipe the monitor casing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the casing to prevent damage to internal components.

3. Storage

When storing the monitor for an extended period, ensure it is powered off and disconnected from all cables. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging to protect it from dust and physical damage.

Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on.

• Flickering or Unstable Image: Check the video cable for damage or loose connections. Ensure your graphics card drivers are updated. Adjust the refresh rate in your computer's display settings.
• Incorrect Colors: Reset the color settings to default in the OSD menu. Adjust brightness, contrast, and color temperature as needed.
