to maintain your apple cinema display and ensure its long life:

    1 do not block the display’s vents.

    2 do not let liquid get on or into the display.

    3 do not press on the surface of the display screen.

    4 do not write on the screen or touch the screen with a sharp object.

    5 turn off your monitor when the computer is idle for a prolonged time.

    6 if you will not be using your display and computer for a day or more, turn off the computer and display or use energy saver.

    using a screen saver program to prevent damage to your screen will reduce the life span of the monitor backlighting feature.

    cleaning the screen and case

    your apple cinema display comes with a cleaning cloth for wiping it down. if you need to clean the screen or case beyond wiping it down, follow these instructions:

    1 turn your computer and display off.

    2 disconnect the display’s power cord from the electrical outlet or power strip.

    3 disconnect the usb and dvi cables from the back of the computer.

    4 clean the screen with soft, lint-free paper or cloth dampened with mild soap and water.

    5 wipe the case surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth dampened with water.

    don’t use alcohol, aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives that might damage the finish on the case.

    do not spray liquid directly onto the display screen. liquid could drip inside the display and cause electrical shock.
