Safety

National Conventions

The following subsections describe notational conventions used in this document.

Notes, Cautions, and Warnings

Throughout this guide, blocks of text may be accompanied by an icon and printed in bold type or in italic type.

These blocks are notes, cautions, and warnings, and they are used as follows:

NOTE: A NOTE indicates important information that helps you make better use of your computer system.

CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the

problem.

WARNING: A WARNING indicates the potential for bodily harm and tells you how to avoid the problem. Some

warnings may appear in alternate formats and may be unaccompanied by an icon. In such cases, the specific

presentation of the warning is mandated by regulatory authority.

Power

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 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 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.

Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate

configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V ~, Min. 5A

The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

For use only with the attached power adapter (Output 12Vdc) which have UL, listed license (Only for

monitors with power adapter).

Installation

Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a

person and cause serious damage to this product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by

the manufacturer or sold with this product. Follow the manufacturer‟s instructions when installing the product and

use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer. A product and cart combination should be moved
