• Be sure that your monitor i s electrically rated to operat e with t he AC power available in your location.

• Locate your monitor near an easily accessible electrical outlet.

• Place the monitor on a s ol i d surface and treat it carefull y. 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 t he power

cable, and keep the cable away from where people coul d trip over it.

• Never insert anything metallic into the monitor openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock.

• To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified techni cian should open the

monitor’s case.

• Be sure to hold the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the m oni tor from an electrical out l et.

should not be blocked or covered. A l so, avoid using the monit or on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft s urface. Doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to provide adequat e ventilation.

• Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water. If the monitor ac cidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately. You can c l ean t he exterior of the monitor with a damp cl oth when necessary, but be sure to unplug the monitor first.
