Care and Maintenance

This section explains how to care for and maintain your Compaq
V70 Color Monitor during normal everyday use.

Protecting the Monitor

To protect your monitor from overheating and other types of
damage, follow these suggestions:
Place the monitor at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for
this monitor, as indicated on the marking label/back plate.
When you connect the monitor to an outlet or extension cord, be
sure the total ampere rating of the products connected to the
outlet does not exceed the current rating of the electrical outlet,
and the total ampere rating of the products connected to the cord
does not exceed the rating of the cord.
Install the monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach.
Disconnect the product by grasping the plug firmly and pulling
it from the outlet. Never disconnect it by pulling the cord.
Turn the monitor off when not using it. You can substantially
increase the life expectancy of the monitor by using a screen
saver program and turning off the monitor when it is not in use.
Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push
objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.
Do not place plants on top of the monitor. Water or dirt from the
plant may fall into the vents.
Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on
the cord.
