place for future reference.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other devices to
the Display.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning the Display. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the Display. Do not use
a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning the product. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.
• When moving the Display from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form
on the housing. Do not turn on the Display immediately after this to avoid causing fire, electric shock or
component damageDo not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
swimming pool or in a wet basement.
• Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a person and cause
serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the
monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follows
the kit instructions.
• A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between the Display and any heat source, i.e. radiator, heater,
oven, amplifier etc.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation
of the monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place
the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or over a radiator or heat
register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.
• The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
• The power cable must be replaced when using different voltage from that specified in the User Manual. For more
information, contact your dealer.
• The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit
only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug,
have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounded plug.
• Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect the
monitor from damage due to power surges.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
