To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor, use the following guidelines:
Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those
controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If your monitor is not operating properly or
has been dropped or damaged, contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service
provider.
Place your monitor at least 3 inches (76 mm) away from walls or other enclosures.
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for your monitor, as indicated on the label on
the back plate.
When you connect your 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 your monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect your monitor by grasping
the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect your monitor by pulling the cord.
Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of your
monitor by using a screen saver program for brief idle times and turning off your monitor when it
is not in use for an extended period of time.
Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. If the screen requires additional cleaning, use an antistatic
CRT screen cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other volatile substances to clean
your monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the
screen.
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 your monitor. Water or dirt from the plant may get into the vents.
Do not drop your 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 your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat and moisture. Keep
your monitor away from high-capacity transformers, electric motors, and other devices with strong
magnetic fields.
In a two-monitor system, place your monitors as far apart from one another as possible to lessen
interference between them.
