Important Safety Instructions
mTurn off the computer before setting up your Apple Studio Display. Leave the computer plugged into a grounded outlet.
Important The only way to disconnect the monitor’s power completely is to unplug the power cord from the computer or electrical outlet. Make sure at least one end of the power cord is within easy reach so that you can unplug the display if you need to.
mDon’t press or put hard objects against the screen.
mRead all the setup instructions carefully before you plug your display into a power source.
Warning Use only the power adapter that came with your display. Adapters for other computer equipment may look similar, but they may damage your display.
This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. This is a safety feature. Your power cord has a plug that has a third grounding pin. Be sure to connect it only to a grounded outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug!
If your power cord connects directly to the power socket on your computer, be sure that the computer is grounded.
For additional safety information, see Chapter 5, “Safety, Health, and Maintenance.”
Choosing a Good Location for Your Display
When determining where to place your display, keep the following points in mind:
mMake sure the power adapter cable, power cord, and display cables easily reach from the back of the display to your computer and an electrical outlet or power strip.
mAll cables should be unobstructed when you adjust the display. If you don’t allow enough clearance, the connectors might be damaged when the cables hit an obstruction.

Step 5: Press the monitor power button.
Both your computer and your monitor start up. After a few moments, the Macintosh desktop appears on the screen.
If nothing appears or you see other problems, see Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” for more information.
How Do I Turn Off the Display?
Your monitor power button shuts down or puts to sleep both your monitor and computer at the same time. Press the monitor power button again to start up or wake the monitor and computer.
You can change the power button setting so that pressing the monitor power button affects the monitor only. To change the power button setting, you use the Preferences section of the Monitors control panel. For more information about sleep settings and the Energy Saver or Monitors control panel, see Mac Help.
