Observe the following safety guide lin es when connecting and using your monitor:

Be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your

•

location. Locate your monitor near an easily accessible electrical outlet.

•

Place the monitor on a so lid surface and treat it carefu lly . The screen can be damaged if

•

dropped, sharply hit, or touched with a sharp or abrasive implement. Put your monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust.

•

Never use your monitor if the power cable has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on

•

the power cable, and keep the cable away from where people could trip over it. Never insert anything metallic int o the mon itor openings. Doing so may create the danger of

•

electric shock. To avoid electric shock, ne ve r tou ch the insid e of the monitor. Only a qualified technicia n should

•

open the monitor’s cas e . Be sure to hold the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the monitor from an electrical outlet.

•

Openings in the monitor cabinet are p rov id ed for ve ntilation. To prevent overheatin g, th ese

•

openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Doing so may block th e ven tilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation. Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water. If the monitor accidentally gets wet,

•

unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately. You can clean the exterior of the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, but be sure to unplug the monitor first. If your monitor does not operat e norma lly — in particular, if there are any un us ual sounds or smells

•

coming from it— unplug the monitor immediately and contact an au thorized dealer or service center.
