unsafe places. Do not allow the monitor to receive strong
shocks or to strongly vibrate. Causing the monitor to fall or
topple over may damage it.
- Do not use the monitor near heating equipment or in places
where there is likelihood of high temperature, as this may
lead to generation of excessive heat and outbreak of re.
- Do not use the monitor in places where it may be exposed to
direct sunlight.
- Please be sure to constantly remove dust and garbage that
has attached to the ventilation opening. If dust collects in the
ventilation opening or the inside of the monitor, it may lead to
excessive heat, outbreak of re, or malfunction.
