2 Plug the power cord into a correctly grounded power outlet. We recommend using a surge

protector to protect your monitor from voltage spikes.

3 To make sure that the monitor’s power is correctly connected, check the power icon above

the power button. The power icon should be white. If the power icon is not lit, power is
not connected.
