Securing the monitor to a wall (optional)

Procedure may differ depending on the model.

1 Insert and tighten the eyebolts, or brackets

and bolts on the back of the monitor.

tightly with a sturdy cord. Make sure the securing cord is horizontal with the flat surface.

WARNING

• If the monitor is not positioned in a

sufficiently stable location, there is a danger that it will fall. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

»» Not placing the monitor on tall furniture

(for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the monitor to a suitable support.

»» Not placing cloth or other materials

between the monitor and supporting furniture.

»» Educating children about the dangers

of climbing on furniture to reach the monitor or its controls.

CAUTION

• Make sure that children do not climb on or

hang from the monitor.

NOTE

• Use a platform or cabinet that is large

and strong enough to support the monitor securely.

• Brackets, bolts, and cords are sold

separately. You can obtain additional accessories from your local retail store.
