Safety Instructions

Power

• Use the type of power indicated on the marking label.

Plugs

• Do not remove any parts of the Display’s three-pronged power plug.

• Disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet when the Display will not be used
for an indefinite period of time.

Power and extension cords

• Use the proper power cord with the correct plug type. If the power source is 120Vac, use
a power cord that has UL and CSA approvals. If the power source is a 240Vac supply, use
the tandem (t blade) type attachment plug with a ground conductor power cord that meets
the respective European country’s safety regulations, such as VDE for Germany.

• We recomm end using the power cord suppli ed with the prod uct. However, if
another type of power cord is required, power cord H05VV-F or VW-1, 18AWG x 3G
should be used.

• Do not overload wall outlets or power cords. Be sure that the total of all units plugged
into the wall outlet does not exceed 7 amperes.

• Be sure that the total ampere ratings on all units plugged into the extension cord does
not exceed the rating of the cord.

• If the Display power supply cord requires a connection to the PC instead of the wall
outlet, this equipment is to be used with a UL approved computer which has a receptacle
rated of 100-240vac, 50/60Hz, (minimum).

Environment

• Place the Display on a flat and level surface.

• Place the Display in a well-ventilated area.

• Keep the Display away from water, excessive heat, cold, or humidity.
