result in electric shock or fire. To prevent the product from being damaged, the following rules should
be observed for the installation, use and maintenance of the product. Read the following safety
instructions before operating the display. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
To avoid the risk of electric shock or

Unplug the power cord before cleaning the
E20 LED MONITOR. Do not use a liquid or
a spray cleaner for cleaning the product.

Always use the accessories recommended
by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.
When moving the E20 LED MONITOR
from an area of low temperature to an area
of high temperature, condensation may
form on the housing. Do not turn on the
E20 LED MONITOR immediately after this
to avoid causing fire, electric shock or
component damage.
Do not place the E20 LED MONITOR on
an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the E20
LED MONITOR falls, it can injure a person
and cause serious damage to the
appliance. Use only a cart or stand
recommended by the manufacturer or sold

Any heat source should maintain a
distance of at least 5 feet away from the
E20 LED MONITOR, i.e. radiator, heater,
oven, amplifier etc. Do not install the
product too close to anything that
produces smoke or moisture. Operating
the product close to smoke or moisture
may cause fire or electric shock.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom
of the bezel are provided for ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of the E20 LED

not blocked or covered. Do not place the
E20 LED MONITOR in a bookcase or
cabinet unless proper ventilation is
provided.
It is not recommended to use the E20 LED
MONITOR in a portrait format (by rotating
90 degrees) under high temperature
environment (25°C or higher), since this

slots of the E20 LED MONITOR. Do not
place any objects on the top of the Product.
It could short circuit parts causing a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquids on the

sure of the type of power supplied to your
home, consult your dealer or local power
company.
The power cable must be replaced when
using different voltage from that specified
in the User Manual. For more information,
contact your dealer.
The E20 LED MONITOR is equipped with
a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug
with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will
fit only into a grounded power outlet as a
safety feature. If your outlet does not
accommodate the three-wire plug, have an
electrician install the correct outlet, or use
an adapter to ground the appliance safely.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounded plug.
SCEPTRE E20 Page5
Do not overload power strips and
extension cords. Overloading can result in
fire or electric shock.
The wall socket should be installed near
the equipment and should be easily

Do not touch the power cord during
thunderstorms. To avoid electric shock,
avoid handling the power cord during
electrical storms.
Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or
when it will not be used for a long period of
time. This will protect the E20 LED
MONITOR from damage due to power
surges.
Do not attempt to repair or service the
product yourself. Opening or removing the
back cover may expose you to high
voltages, the risk of electric shock, and
other hazards. If repair is required, please
contact your dealer and refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
