WARNINGS:

• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose the
product to rain or moisture.

• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on or near the
apparatus. As with any electronic products, use care not to spill
liquids into any part of the system. Liquids can cause a failure and/
or a fire hazard.

• Do not place any naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, on or near the apparatus.

• Keep the remote control batteries away from children. They may
cause a fire or chemical burn if mishandled. Do not recharge,
disassemble, heat above 100ºC (212ºF), or incinerate. Dispose
of used batteries promptly. Replace only with batteries of the
correct type and model number.

Please dispose of used batteries properly,
following any local regulations. Do not
incinerate.

• Contains small parts that may be a choking hazard.
Not suitable for children under age 3.

• Never place the equipment on an unstable surface. The
equipment may fall, causing serious personal injury or death.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking
simple precautions such as:

– Only using furniture that can safely support the equipment.
– Ensuring the equipment is not overhanging the edge of the

supporting furniture.

– Not placing the equipment on furniture (for example, cupboards

or bookcases) without appropriately anchoring both the

furniture and the equipment to a wall.
– Not placing toys or other items on top of the equipment.
– Not standing the equipment on cloth or other materials placed

between the equipment and supporting furniture.
– Educating children about the dangers of playing with the

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Allowing children to push, pull, or climb on the monitor may cause
it to tip over, possibly resulting in personal injury or death.

– For safety and greater stability, installation of the included

anti-tip straps is recommended.

– Be sure to install both anti-tip straps according to the

instructions on page 11.

• If wall-mounting the monitor, follow the wall bracket manufacturer’s
instructions and the guidelines provided here and on page 13.
Unsafe mounting of any heavy load can result in serious injury and
property damage.

– Use only an agency-approved wall-mount bracket capable of

supporting a 150 lb. (68 kg) product.

– Make sure the wall bracket is installed according to all

applicable building codes.

Unauthorized alterations may compromise safety, regulatory
compliance, and system performance, and may void the warranty.

• Due to ventilation requirements, do not place the monitor in a
confined space such as in a wall cavity or in an enclosed cabinet.

• Do not block any of the ventilation openings on the rear panel of
the monitor. These openings provide the necessary ventilation to
ensure reliable operation and to prevent overheating.
