5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Monitor

• Always unplug the monitor before cleaning.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive screen cleaner.
• Do not spray cleaner directly onto the screen.
• Avoid using alcohol, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the screen surface.

5.2 General Care

• Keep the monitor away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive dust.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the monitor.
• Avoid placing heavy objects on the monitor or its cables.

6. Troubleshooting

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

• No Power: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and the power outlet. Verify the power adapter is functioning.
• No Signal: Check that the video cable (DP or HDMI) is firmly connected to both the monitor and your computer. Select the correct input source in the OSD menu. If using HDMI, ensure your device's display settings are compatible with the monitor's capabilities (e.g., set to 60Hz if experiencing issues at higher refresh rates).
• Image Flickering/Distortion: Check cable connections. Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date. Try a different video cable. If FreeSync is enabled, try disabling it to see if the issue persists.
• Poor Image Quality: Adjust brightness, contrast, and color settings in the OSD menu. Ensure the display resolution is set to 3440x1440P on your connected device.
• No Audio: Verify that the audio cable (if using external speakers) is connected correctly. Check the volume settings on both the monitor and your computer. Ensure the correct audio output device is selected in your computer's sound settings.

If the problem persists after trying these steps, please contact customer support.
