Safety Guidelines

Power Requirements

Refer to the “Power Cord Set Requirements” section in “Agency Regulatory Notices,” for information on the correct power cord set for this device.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable

the power cord grounding feature. This equipment is designed to be connected to a grounded (earthed) power outlet that is easily accessible to the operator. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

WARNING: For your safety, be sure that the power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily accessible and located as close to the equipment as possible. When you need to disconnect the power to the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by grasping the plug firmly. Never pull on the cord.

CAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your computer, connect all power cords

for your computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, scanner) to some form of surge protection device such as a power strip or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strips must be specifically labeled as having this ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement Policy so you can replace your equipment if surge protection fails.

Maintenance Guidelines

To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor, follow these guidelines:

■ Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. If your

monitor is not operating properly, or has been dropped or damaged, first unplug from power outlet, and then contact your authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.

■ Adjust only those controls that are discussed in the operating instructions.

■ Place your monitor at least 3 inches (76 mm) away from walls or other enclosures.

■ Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on

the label/back plate of the monitor.

Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

■ Be sure the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed

the current rating of the electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products connected to the cord does not exceed the rating of the cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (AMPS or A) for each device.

■ Install your monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by

grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.

■ Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life of your

monitor by using a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.

■ Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or

aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. If the screen requires additional cleaning, use an antistatic CRT screen cleaner.

CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other volatile substances to clean your

monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the screen.

■ Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not

be blocked or covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.

■ Do not place plants on top of your monitor. Water or dirt from the plant may get into

the vents.

■ Do not drop your monitor or place it on an unstable surface.

■ Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.

■ Keep your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, or

moisture. Keep your monitor away from high-capacity transformers, electric motors, and other devices with strong magnetic fields.

■ In a two-monitor system, place your monitors as far apart from one another as possible

to lessen interference between them.

■ Do not place the monitor face down. Damage could result to the front panel controls or

the monitor screen.
