    Maintaining the Monitor

    General Precautions

    • Make sure the monitor is turned off and the power cable is unplugged from the power outlet.
    • Never spray or pour any liquid directly onto the screen or case.
    • Handle the monitor with care, as a darker-colored monitor, if scuffed, may show marks more clearly than a lighter-colored monitor.

    Cleaning the Screen

    • Wipe the screen with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. This removes dust and other particles.
    • If the screen is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based glass cleaner onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth; then wipe the screen.

    Cleaning the Case

    • Use a soft, dry cloth.
    • If the case is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based, mild non-abrasive detergent onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, then wipe the surface.

    Disclaimer

    • ViewSonic® does not recommend the use of any ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners on the display screen or case. Some chemical cleaners have been reported to damage the screen and/or case of the monitor.
    • ViewSonic® will not be liable for damage resulting from use of any ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners.
