3BSafety Instructions

 To help avoid damaging your monitor, connect only one power (AC or DC) in

operation simultaniously.

 Rough handling of product may cause physical damage or malfunction.  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

service personnel should open the monitor’s case.

 Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent
