Moving and Lifting the Monitor

When moving or lifting the monitor, follow these instructions to prevent the monitor from being scratched or damaged and to ensure safe trans­portation, regardless of its shape or size.
yPlace the monitor in the original box or pack-

yBefore moving or lifting the monitor, discon-
nect the power cord and all other cables.

firmly. Do not hold the panel itself.
yWhen moving the monitor, keep it upright and
never turn the monitor on its side or tilt it side­ways.
