Safety instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to protect your monitor from potential damage
and to ensure your personal safety. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure
included in this document assumes that you have read the safety information that
shipped with your monitor.
Before using the monitor, read the safety information that is
shipped with your monitor and also printed on the product. Keep the
documentation at a secure location for future reference.
CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than
those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock,
electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.
• Place the monitor on a solid surface and handle it carefully. The screen is fragile
and can be damaged if dropped or hit with a sharp object.
• Always be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC
power available in your location.
• Keep the monitor in room temperature. Excessive cold or hot conditions can have
an adverse effect on the liquid crystal of the display.
• Connect the power cable from the monitor to a wall outlet that is near and
accessible. See Connecting your monitor.
• Do not place and use the monitor on a wet surface or near water.
• Do not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions. For
example, do not place the monitor inside a car trunk.
• Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of
time.
• To avoid electric shock, do not attempt to remove any cover or touch the inside
of the monitor.
• Read these instructions carefully. Keep this document for future reference. Follow
all warnings and instructions marked on product.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing
loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to maximum increases the earphones and
headphones output voltage and therefore the sound pressure level.
• The equipment can be installed on wall or ceiling mounting in horizontal position.

This document is informational only and reflects laboratory performance. Your

product may perform differently, depending on the software, components and
peripherals you ordered and shall have no obligation to update such information.
Accordingly, the customer should not rely upon this information in making
decisions about electrical tolerances or otherwise. No warranty as to accuracy or

Energy Star is a program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that promotes energy efficiency.
This product qualifies for ENERGY STAR in the “factory default” settings and this
is the setting in which power savings will be achieved.
Changing the factory default picture settings or enabling other features will
increase power consumption that could exceed the limits necessary to qualify for
ENERGY STAR rating.

Plug and play capability

You can install the monitor in any Plug and Play-compatible system. The monitor
automatically provides the computer system with its Extended Display Identification

configure itself and optimize the monitor settings. Most monitor installations are
automatic, you can select different settings if desired. For more information about
changing the monitor settings, see Operating your monitor.

LCD monitor quality and pixel policy
During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or
more pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state which are hard to see and do
not affect the display quality or usability. For more information on Dell Monitor
Quality and Pixel Policy, see Dell Support site at www.dell.com/pixelguidelines.
