Safety Instructions

Before connecting the AC power cord to the DC adapter outlet, make sure the voltage
designation of the DC adapter corresponds to the local electrical supply.
Never insert anything metallic into the cabinet openings of the Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) monitor: doing so may create the danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the LCD monitor. Only a qualified
Technician should open the case of the LCD monitor.
Never use your LCD monitor if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow
anything to rest on the power cord, and keep the cord away from areas where people
can trip over it.

Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the LCD monitor from an
electric socket.

Openings in the LCD monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent
overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the
LCD monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Doing so may block the
ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you put the LCD monitor in a
bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
Put your LCD monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust.

Do not expose the LCD monitor to rain or use it near water (in kitchen, near
swimming pool, etc.). If the LCD monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an
authorised dealer immediately. You can clean the LCD monitor with a damp cloth when
necessary, but be sure to unplug the LCD monitor first.

Place the LCD monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of
thin glass with a plastic front surface and be damaged if dropped, hit or scratched.
Do not clean the front panel with keton-type materials (e.g., acetone), ethyl alcohol,
toluene, ethylacid, methyl, or chloride - these may damage the panel.

Locate your LCD monitor near an easily accessible AC outlet.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER

(OR BACK).

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

General safety precautions

This Monitor has been engineered and manufactured to assure your safety.
You can prevent serious electrical shock and other hazards by keeping in mind the
following:

Do not place anything heavy, wet or magnetic on the monitor
or the power cord. Never cover the ventilation openings with
any material and never touch them with metallic or
inflammable materials.

Avoid operating the monitor in extreme heat, humidity or
areas affected by dust.
Temperature: 5-35°C Humidity: 30~80RH

Be sure to turn the monitor off before plugging the power cord
into the socket. Make sure that the power cord and the other
cords are securely and correctly connected.

Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, as
are frayed power cords and broken plugs, which may cause
electric shock or fire. Call your service technician for
replacement.

Do not use sharp tools such as a pin or a pencil near the
monitor, as they may scratch the LCD surface.

Do not use a solvent, such as benzene, to clean the monitor, as
it will damage the LCD surface.
