Important safety instructions

WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS
Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage matches the voltage indicated on the identification label located
at the back of the set.
The monitor components are sensitive to heat. The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35
o
Celsius.
Do not cover the vents at the back of the monitor. Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation.
Install the monitor away from any source of dust or heat (radiator, etc.). Do not expose it to direct sunlight.
Moisture in rooms where the monitor is installed should not exceed 85% humidity. If you have to use the monitor
outdoors, do not expose it to rain or splashing water.
Moving the monitor from a cold place to a warm one can cause condensation on the screen (and on some inside
EN
components). Let the condensation evaporate before switching the monitor on again.

During thunderstorms, we recommend that you disconnect the set from the mains and aerial so that it is not
affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it. For this reason, keep the mains and aerial
sockets accessible so they can be disconnected if needed.
Unplug the set immediately if you notice it giving off a smell of burning or smoke. You must never, under any
circumstances, open the set yourself, as you risk an electric shock in doing so.
If you intend to be away for a long period, switch the set off at the on/off switch located on the rear panel.
Even when off, some components remain in contact with the mains electricity supply. To completely isolate the
set you must remove the plug from the mains supply socket.
This product is fitted with a 3-pin grounded plug, which will only fit into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety
feature. Do not alter the plug, as this would defeat the safety feature.
Avoid any intrusion of liquid or small metallic objects inside the monitor. If such an incident were to occur,
immediately disconnect the monitor from the mains supply and refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Use the screen saver when using a computer.
Switch the monitor to standby mode when you do not use it.
The top of the monitor is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air released through the ventila-
tion openings. Do not place your hands or face close to these openings to avoid burns or personal injuries. Do not
place any object close to the ventilation openings to avoid any damage to the object or to the monitor itself.
Make sure that all cables are disconnected before moving the monitor, to avoid damaging the cables and thus
cause fire or electric shock danger.
