Care and Safety
Before you lift or reposition your display, you may need to disconnect the cables and
power cord. Use correct lifting techniques when positioning the display. When lifting or
carrying the display, hold it by the edges. Don’t lift the display by the stand or the cord.
To clean the screen on your display:
1
Disconnect the power cord.
2
Use the cloth that came with your display or another soft, dry cloth to wipe
dust from the screen.
WARNING:
Don’t clean the screen with a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a
cleaner intended for use with a screen or display. Never spray cleaner directly on the
screen. It may drip inside the display and cause damage.
Follow these safety guidelines for using your display:
Â
The only way to completely disconnect power is to unplug the power cord. Be sure
to pull the plug, not the cord.
Â
Disconnect power immediately if the power cord is frayed or damaged, if you spill
something on the display, or if the display falls or is damaged in some other way.
WARNING:
Use only the power cord that came with your display. The power cord has
a three-wire grounding plug (a plug that has a third grounding pin) that fits only a
grounded AC outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet because the
outlet is not grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a
properly grounded outlet.

WARNING:
Your display is a high-voltage component and should not be opened for
any reason, even when it’s unplugged. If your display needs service, see “Learning
More, Service, and Support” on page 18.
Ergonomics
Here are some guidelines for adjusting your display to reduce glare and to
accommodate your physical size and shape.
Â
Arrange the display so that the top of the screen is slightly below your eye level
when you’re sitting at the keyboard. The best distance from your eyes to the screen is
up to you, although most people tend to prefer 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm).

Â
Position the display by tilting it up or down to minimize glare and reflections from
overhead lights and nearby windows.

Troubleshooting Your Display
Before performing any of these steps, make sure your computer is turned on, the
display is plugged into an outlet, all the cables are connected properly to your
computer and display, and your computer is not in sleep mode.
If the screen doesn’t have an image:
Â
Check the cables and connectors again to make sure they are connected properly to
your computer and the display.
Â
Make sure your computer is turned on and is not in sleep mode. If your computer’s
display is closed, use the external keyboard or mouse to wake the computer from
sleep.
Â
Reset the PRAM by restarting your computer while holding down the Command (x
),
Option, P, and R keys until you hear the startup sound a second time.
If the screen is dim:
Â
Make sure the display brightness controls are set properly. Choose Apple (
) >
System Preferences and click Displays. Drag the Brightness slider to adjust the
brightness.
Â
If the colors on the display are too saturated or not correct, you may need to calibrate
your display. Open Displays preferences, click Color, click Calibrate, and follow the
instructions.
If your portable computer isn’t charging:
Make sure the MagSafe connector from your display is seated properly in the MagSafe
power port on your computer.
English

If the built-in iSight camera, microphone, speakers, or USB ports on the display
aren’t working:
Make sure the USB cable from the display is firmly plugged into the USB port on your
computer. The display’s camera, microphone, speakers, and USB ports work only when
this cable is attached to your computer.
