Safety Precautions
This
monitor
has been engineered
and
manufactured
to assure your personal
safety.
However, improper
use
can
result
in
potential electrical shock
or
fire
hazards.
In
order
not
to defeat the safeguards incorporated into this monitor,
observe the following
basic
rules for its installation, use,
and
servicing. Follow all
warnings
and
instructions marked
on
your video moni tor.
Installation
To install the
monitor
follow the instruction below.
l.
Your
monitor
is
equipped with a 3-pronged l20-volt
AC
line plug.
This safety feature allows the plug to fit into the power outlet only
one
way.
If
it
is
necessary to use a 2-prong plug adapter,
make
sure the
adapter
is
properly
grounded
according to its instructions.
2. Operate the
monitor
only from a power source
as
indicated
on
the
monitor
or
refer to the user's
manual
for this
information.
If
you are
not sure
of
the type
of
power supply to
your
home, consult your
dealer
or
local power company.
3. Overloaded
AC
outlets
and
extensi on cords are dangerous. So are
frayed power cords
and
broken plug s. They may result in a shock
or
fire hazard. Replace worn or damaged cords
and
plugs.
Do
not
use
more
than
one plug
adapter
on
one power outlet.
4. Do
not
allow anything to rest
on
or
rolt over the power cord,
and
do
not place the
monitor
where the power cord will be subject to traffic
or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire ha zard.
5. Do not use this
monitor
near water - for example, near a
bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, l
aundry
tub, in a wet basement,
or
near a
swimming pool,
and
so fort h.
9
6.
The
ventilation openings in the
monitor's
case allow heat to be
released.
If
these openings are blocked, heat built up within the
monitor
may
cause failures that can result in a fire hazard. So, take
these precautions:
• Never block the
bottom
ventilation slots by placing the
monitor
on
a bed,
sof
a, rug, etc.
• Never place a
monitor
in a
"built
-in" enclosure unless
proper
venti-
lation is provided.
• Never cover the ventilation openings with cloth
or
other
material.
• Never place the
monitor
near
or
over a
radiator
or
heat register.
7.
To avoid personal injury, take these precautions:
Using the Monitor
• Do not place the
monitor
on
a sloping shelf unless it's properly
secured.
• Place the
monitor
only
on
a stand
that
has been recommended by
the manufacturer.
• Do not place the
monitor
on
a stand with small casters
and
the n try
to roll it across
door
thresholds or deep-pile carpets .
• To
mount
the
momitor
on
a wall, use factory-approved instructions.
The
following tips will help assure your continued safe use
of
the monitor.
10
1.
I f
it
is
necessary
to
leave the
room
for
more
than a short

of
time, always
turn
the
monitor
off.
Always
turn
the
monitor
off
when
you leave the house.
Any
malfunction
in the
monitor
can result in a
fire
ha
zard.
2.
Ca
ution children
about
dropping
or
pushing objects into the openings
in the
monitor's
case.
Some
int
ernal parts
carry
hazardous
voltages
and
will cause electrical shock.
3.
Unplug
the
monitor
from
the wall outlet b
efo
re cleaning the face
of
the picture tube. Use a slightly
damp
(not
wet) cloth.
Do
not

an
aerosol
spray
directly
on
the screen since any overs pray
can
cause
an
electric
shock.
4. Never
add
accessories
to a monitor
that
has
not
been designed for this
purpose. Such
additions
may create an electrical shock haza rd .
5.
For
added
protection,
unplug the
monitor
from the power source
during
an
electrical
storm
or
when the
monitor
is to be left
unattended
for a long time.
This
prevents shocks
and
fire haza rds
due
to lightning
or
power-line surges.
6. Do not bring magnetic devices such as magnets
or
motors
near the
screen.
They
may
damage
the
color
purity
of
the picture.
7.
Sometimes you'll feel static electricity when
you
touch the surface
of
the screen. This
is
normal
for any
TV
set
or
monitor
and
is
harmless
to
you
and
to
the
monitor.
Servicing
the
Monitor
You should
adjust
only those controls
that
are
covered
in
the
operating
instruc-
tions;
improper
adjustment
of
other control
s may result
in
damage
and
will
often
require extensive
work
by a qualified technician to res
tore
the
monitor
to
normal
operations.
11
Unplug
the
monitor
from
the wall outlet
and
call qualified service personnel
under
the following
conditions:
1.
When
the power
cord
or
plug

to
make
occasional
snapping
or
popping
sounds,
particularly when being
turned

followed the
operating instr
uctions .
Do
not
attempt
to
service this
monitor
yourself.

or
removing covers may
expose you
to
dangerous
voltages
or
other
hazards.
Dangerous
high voltage
is
present even when the
monitor
is
unplugged. Refer all servicing
to
qualified service
personnel.
When
replacement parts
are
required, have the service technician verify in writing
that
the rep lacements used have the same safety characteristics as the original
parts.
Use
of
manufacturer'
s specified replacements
can
prevent fire, shock,
or
other haza
rd s.
Ask the service technician
to
perform
the safety check described in the
manufac-
turer's
service liter
ature
upon
completion
of
any
serv ice
or
repairs
to
the monitor.
When a
monitor
