Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

Important Safety Information

The power cord is designed for use with your monitor. To use a different cord, use only a power source and
connection compatible with this monitor. For information on the correct power cord set to use with your monitor,
see Power Cord Set Requirements.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable
the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. Connect
the equipment to a grounded (earthed) power outlet.
For your safety, be sure that the grounded power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily
accessible to the operator and located as close to the equipment as possible. To disconnect
power from the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by grasping the plug
firmly. Never pull on the cord.
Before connecting cables, disconnect power from the monitor by unplugging the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one can accidentally
step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the electrical
outlet, grasp the cord by its plug.
CAUTION: To protect your monitor, as well as your computer, connect all power cords for your
computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, or scanner) to a surge
protection device such as a power strip with surge protection or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS).
Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strips must be specifically labeled as
having this ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a damage replacement policy
so you can replace your equipment if surge protection fails.

Safety Precautions

CAUTION: Avoid applying pressure to the LCD screen; doing so can cause damage.
•
Use only a power source and connection compatible with this monitor, as indicated on the label/back plate of
the monitor.
•
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. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (Amps or A) for each device.
