Safety Instructions

Before connecting the AC power cord

1

to an outlet, make sure the voltage
designation on your monitor
corresponds to the local electrical
supply.

Never insert anything metallic into the

2

monitor openings. Doing so may
create the danger of electric shock.

To avoid electric shock, never touch

3

the inside of the monitor. Only a
qualified technician should open the
monitor’s case.

Never use your monitor if the power

4

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,

5

when disconnecting the monitor from
an electric socket.

Openings in the monitor cabinet are

6

provided for ventilation. To prevent
overheating, these openings should
not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid
using the 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
monitor in a bookcase or some other
enclosed space, be sure to provide
adequate ventilation.

Put your monitor in a location with low

7

humidity and a minimum of dust.

Do not expose the monitor to rain or

8

use it near water (in kitchens, near
swimming pools, etc.). If the monitor
accidentally gets wet, unplug it and
contact an authorized dealer
immediately. You can clean the
monitor with a damp cloth when
necessary, but be sure to unplug the
monitor first.

Place the monitor on a solid surface

9

and treat it carefully. The screen is
made of glass and can be damaged if
dropped, hit or scratched.

Locate your monitor near an easily

10

accessible AC outlet.
If your monitor does not operate

11

normally – in particular, if there are
any unusual sounds or smells coming
from it – unplug it immediately and
contact an authorized dealer or service
center.

High temperatures can cause

12

problems. Don’t use your monitor in
direct sunlight, and keep it away from
heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other
sources of heat.

Unplug the monitor when it is going to

13

be left unused for an extended period
of time.

Unplug your monitor from the AC

14

outlet before any service.
