Safety Precautions and Maintenance

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE,

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING

WHEN SETTING UP AND USING

THE DIAMOND PLUS 230

SB

COLOUR MONITOR:

•

DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. 

There are no user serviceable

parts inside and opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to

qualified service personnel.

•

Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near

water.

•

Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may

touch dangerous voltage points,which can be harmful or fatal or

may cause electric shock,fire or equipment failure.

•

Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the

cord may cause shock or fire.

•

Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or

table, as the monitor may fall, causing serious damage to the

monitor.

•

Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric

motors and other devices such as external speakers or fans, which

may create strong magnetic fields.

•

If possible, position the monitor so that it is facing the east to

minimise the effects of the earth’s magnetic field.

•

Changing the direction of the monitor while it is powered on may

cause image discolouration. To correct this, turn the monitor off for

20 minutes before powering it back on.

•

When operating the Diamond Plus 230

SB

 with its AC 100-120/220-

240V worldwide power supply, use a power supply cord that

matches the power supply voltage of the AC power outlet being

used. The power supply cord you use must have been approved by

and comply with the safety standards of your country. (Type

H05VV-F 3G 0.7 mm

2

 should be used in Europe)

•

In UK, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a

black (5A) fuse installed for use with this monitor. If a power cord is

not supplied with this monitor, please contact your supplier.

Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer

servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

•

When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

•

If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the monitor.

•

If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.

•

If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

•

If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating

instructions.

•

Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that

heat can properly dissipate. Do not block ventilated

openings or place the monitor near a radiator or other

heat sources. Do not put anything on top of monitor.

•

The power cable connector is the primary means of

detaching the system from the power supply. The

monitor should be installed close to a power outlet

which is easily accessible.

•

Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging

for transporting.

CAUTION

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND

ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR

CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND

NECK FATIGUE. CHECK  THE

FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION

THE MONITOR:

•

Adjust the monitor height so

that the top of the screen is

at or slightly below eye level.

Your eyes should look

slightly downward when

viewing the middle of the

screen.

•

Position your monitor no

closer than 40 cm and no

further away than 70 cm

from your eyes. The optimal

distance is 60 cm.

•

Rest your eyes periodically

by focusing on an object at least 6 m away. Blink often.

•

Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light

sources to minimise glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt

so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.

•

If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use

an anti-glare filter.

•

Clean your monitor

A special coating is provided on the glass (CRT) surface of this

monitor to reduce a reflection and static electricity on the glass

surface.

Due to the delicate coating on the glass surface, use a lint-free,

nonabrasive cloth (cotton or equivalent) and a non-alcohol,

neutral, nonabrasive cleaning solution to minimise dust. If the

screen requires more than a light cleaning, apply water or

soften neutral detergent with much water directly to a soft cloth

and use it upon wringing water, to clean the glass surface.

CAUTION: The following agents will cause damage to the CRT

when cleaning the glass surface: Benzene, thinner, acid/

alkaline detergent, alcohol detergent, detergent with abrasive

powder, detergent with antistatic agent, detergent for cleaning.

•

Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to

enhance readability.

•

Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

•

Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the

screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimise

turning your head while you are typing.

•

Get regular eye checkups.

Ergonomics

To realise the maximum ergonomics benefits,we recommend the

following:

•

Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears

•

Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting

•

Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals

•

Use the preset Colour Setting and Sides Left/Right controls

•

Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between

75-160Hz

•

Do not use primary colour blue on a dark background, as it is

difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient

contrast
