IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Note on monitor placement
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
The setup location must not be extremely hot, cold, humid or dusty. Heat and cold can impair
the functionality of the monitor. Humidity and dust can cause the monitor to fail.
Don’t place the monitor near heaters such as radiators or the like. Don’t expose the monitor to
mechanical vibration or jarring.
Position the monitor so that no direct light or sun strikes the screen, which could cause
reflections that reduce the quality of the image.
Notes on power connection
ꢀ
Only use the power cord designated for use in your country. The wall outlet should
be within easy reach. Pulling the power plug is the only way to disconnect
the monitor from the power source.
ꢀ
This monitor is ENERGY STAR®-compatible, and guarantees that this device
complies with the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for optimizing power consumption.
Safety instructions for operation
ꢀ
The power cord must not be damaged. Do not place any objects on the power cord
and make sure it does not have any knots. To unplug the cord, always pull on the plug
and not on the cable itself. Damage to the power cord may result in fire or cause electric
shocks.
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Avoid covering the ventilation slots. Air circulation is necessary to prevent the
monitor from overheating. If the air circulation is restricted it could cause fire or
damage the monitor.
Do not use any solvents to clean the monitor, as the housing could be damaged.
For more information about cleaning the monitor, please see “Caring for Your
LCD Monitor”.
Never open the monitor housing on you own. There is a danger of electric shock and
other hazards. The monitor may only be opened and serviced by qualified
professionals.

Note on resolution
All resolutions provided by the graphics card that deviate form the physical resolution of the panel
are adjusted by interpolation. This can impair the image quality.
Notes on ergonomics
To protect your eyes, neck and shoulder muscles when working with
a
computer, we
recommend that you maintain a viewing distance of between 50 and 75 cm from the monitor.
Furthermore, you should regularly focus on an object around 6 m away from you to help your
eyes relax. Ergonomically, your posture is best when elbows, pelvis, knees and ankles are
all at right angles.
CARING FOR YOUR LCD MONITOR
ꢀ
ꢀ
First, unplug the power cord from the wall socket
If the LCD screen is extremely dirty, clean it with a moist cloth. Use only warm water and then
wipe the monitor dry. Solvents or harsh cleaners can damage the housing. Clean the display
surface only with a soft cloth, otherwise you may damage the display’s coating
ꢀ
ꢀ
If the monitor is only slightly dirty, clean it using a soft, dry and antistatic cloth.
The LCD monitor’s screen surface is very sensitive. Please avoid any contact with the
surface (finger, pencil, etc.) and be especially cautious during transportation since
jolts and shocks can cause the screen to become scratched (always use the original
packaging).
WALL MOUNTING
The PRINCETON monitor is shipped with the standard desktop configuration. However, you can optionally
mount the device on a wall or on a monitor swivel arm (optional accessory). Please follow the
corresponding instructions (4-hole assembly with a spacing of 4 × 4 inches (100 × 100 mm)according
to the international VESA FDMI standard).
