Important Safeguards

• Read all the Safety Instructions and the User Manual before using the Display. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

• To avoid the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other devices to the Display.

• Unplug the power cord before cleaning the Display. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the Display. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning the product. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

• Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.

• When moving the Display from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form

on the housing. Do not turn on the Display immediately after this to avoid causing fire, electric shock or component damageDo not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.

• Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the 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 with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follows the kit instructions.

• A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between the Display and any heat source, i.e. radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.

• The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not 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 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.

• Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

• The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

• 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.
