Precautions
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards, and/or
mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these precautions when connecting and using your computer monitor:
PRECAUTIONS
xDo not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
xDo 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 follow the kit
instructions.
xSlots 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.
xThe 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.
xThe 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.
xUnplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long periods of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges.
xDo not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
xNever 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.
xDo not attempt to service the monitor yourself; opening or removing covers can expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
xTo ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V AC, Min. 5A.
xThe wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
xFor use only with the attached power adapter (Output 12Vdc) which have UL,CSA listed license(Only for monitors with power adapter).
