Repair Issues

The new exterior design features of this display include a two-color translucent housing, a tripod monitor stand, and a VGA-style video cable with a VGA-to-Mac adapter.

Protecting the Translucent Housing

Important: Because the housing of this monitor is made of translucent plastic, surface scratches can be more visible than on standard plastic housing. To avoid cosmetic damage and protect the housing during service procedures, please keep in mind the following precautions:

• Use caution working with metal tools to avoid scratching the housing.

• Use a protective pad that is clean and free of debris whenever you service the display.

• Before placing the display face-down on a book or ream of paper, ensure the surface provides protection from scratches.

New Tripod Stand Safety Tips

Because this is a new design, keep in mind the following:

• Likewise, do not adjust the position of the monitor by pulling the stand legs. The tripod stand is subject to cracking or breakage if mishandled.
• Lift the display by the hand grips under the left and right sides of the display. Never lift the display by the tripod stand.
• -Warning: When placing the monitor on a table surface, ensure that all three legs on the tripod stand contact the surface. If one of the legs is too close to the table edge, the weight of the monitor could cause the display to fall off the edge.

VGA-to-Macintosh Adapter

The connector on the display cable is a VGA video connector.
