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.

• Place the monitor in the original box or packing material

before attempting to move it.

• Before moving or lifting the monitor, disconnect the power

cord and all other cables.

• Hold the bottom and side of the monitor frame firmly. Do

not hold the panel itself.

CAUTION

• Avoid touching the monitor screen as much as possible.

- This may result in damage to the screen or some of the
pixels used to create images.

• If you use the monitor panel without the stand base, its

joystick button may cause the monitor to become unstable
and fall, resulting in damage to the monitor or human
injury. In addition, this may cause the joystick button to
malfunction.

• When holding the monitor, the screen should face away

from you to prevent it from being scratched.

• When transporting the monitor, do not expose the

monitor to shock or excessive vibration.
