Safety Instructions

1

Before connecting the AC power cord
to an outlet, make sure the voltage
designation on your monitor
corresponds to the local electrical
supply.

2

Never insert anything metallic into
the monitor openings. Doing so may
create the danger of electric shock.

3

To avoid electric shock, never touch
the inside of the monitor. Only a
qualified technician should open the
monitor’s case.

4

Never use your 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.

5

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

6

Openings in the monitor cabinet are
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.

7

Put your monitor in a location with
low humidity and a minimum of dust.

8

Do not expose the monitor to rain or
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.

9

Place the monitor on a solid surface
and treat it carefully. The screen is
made of glass and can be damaged if
dropped, hit or scratched.

10

Locate your monitor near an easily
accessible AC outlet.

11

If your monitor does not operate
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.

12

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

13

Unplug the monitor when it is going
to be left unused for an extended
period of time.

14

Unplug your monitor from the AC
outlet before any service.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
