Care and Maintenance
This section explains how to care for and maintain your Compaq
monitor during normal everyday use.
Protecting the Monitor
To protect your monitor from overheating and other types of
damage, follow these suggestions:
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this
monitor, as indicated on the marking label/back plate.
If an extension cord or power strip is used, make sure that the
cord or strip is rated for the product and that the total ampere
ratings of all products plugged into the extension cord or
power strip do not exceed 80% of the extension cord or strip
ampere ratings limit.
Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or
convenience receptacle. The overall system load must not
exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating. If power strips are
used, the load should not exceed 80% of the power strip input
rating.
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.
Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
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.
Keep the monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from
excessive light, heat, and moisture.
In a two-monitor system, place the monitors as far apart from
each other as possible to lessen interference between them.
Do not open the monitor cabinet or attempt to service this
product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions. If the monitor is not operating
properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your
Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
