• Use the correct voltage.

The LCD monitor is designed for use with a specific voltage only. Connection to a different voltage may cause fire, electric shock, or other damage.

• Do not overload your power circuit, as this may result in fire or electric shock.

• To ensure proper connections of the power cord, be certain to plug the power cord into the provided LCD monitor connector and directly to a wall outlet.

By not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

• Keep the plastic packing bags away from children and infants.

Plastic bags can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the bag away from babies and children.

• Keep power terminal covers for the optional peripheral unit away from children and infants.

Children and infants may accidentally swallow the covers and choke. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

• Place the LCD monitor on a strong, stable surface (desktop stand type only).

A unit placed on an inadequate surface may fall, resulting in injury or equipment damage.
