Do not press on the LCD panel as it is very fragile.
Do not touch the LCD panel with your bare hands. Oil from your skin is difficult to
remove and may damage the screen.
Do not expose the LCD monitor directly under sunlight or other heat sources. When in
use, the LCD screen should be facing away from light sources to reduce glare.
It is important to choose a well-ventilated area to place your LCD monitor for adequate
ventilation. Do not place anything on top of the LCD monitor.

Do not place heavy objects on the power cord, adapter, or signal cables.
If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor occurs, immediately turn the LCD monitor off
