Tips and safety precautions
The Power Cord
-
-
Under certain display conditions, minute specks
or spots may be noticeable.This is common for
liquid crystal monitors and is not a malfunction.
The LCD panel has been manufactured using
highly elaborate technology. Properly working
pixels comprise 99.99% of total pixels. However,
please understand that 0.01% or less of pixels
may be missing or be brighter than usual.
Do not leave the screen displaying idly for long
periods of time, as this could cause afterimage to
remain.
-
Do not damage the power cord nor place heavy
objects on it, stretch it or overly bend it. Also, do
not add extension cords. Damage to the cord
may result in fire or electric shock.
-
-
Use only the AC adapter supplied with the
monitor. Using an AC adapter other than that
supplied may lead to fire.
Insert the power plug directly into the AC outlet.
Adding an extension cord may lead to fire as a
result of overheating
-
-
-
If the brightness is adjusted to the minimum set-
ting it may be difficult to see the screen.
The quality of the computer signal may influence
the quality of the display.We recommend using a
computer able to emit high quality video signals.
Never rub or tap the monitor with hard objects.
Please understand that Sharp Corporation bears
no responsibility for errors made during use by
the customer or a third party, nor for any other
malfunctions or damage to this product arising
during use, except where indemnity liability is
recognized under law.

Use a soft dry cloth to lightly wipe away any grime
from the cabinet and control panel.
If they are very dirty, apply neutral detergent to a
dampened soft cloth, wring it out well and wipe away
grime.
The monitor's florescent tubes have a limited life
span.
-
If the screen darkens, persistently flickers or
does not light up, it may be necessary to
replace the florescent tube unit. Please

Specifications
Standards and compatibility
DDC (Plug & Play)
Power management
The monitor is based on VESA DPMS (Display
This monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data
Channel) standard.
Power Management Signaling).
DDC is a signal standard for carrying out Plug &
Play functions on the monitor or PC. It transfers
information such as degree of resolution between
the monitor and PC.You can use this function if your
PC is DDC compliant and if it is set so that it can
detect the Plug & Play monitor.
To activate the monitor's Power Management func-
tion, both the video card and the computer must
conform to the VESA DPMS standard.
There are many varieties of DDC due to the differ-
ences between systems.This monitor works with
DDC1 and DDC2B.
