IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

For your own safety read all instructions and retain them for further
reference.
3-1
POWER PLUG
This display monitor is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type power
plug. The third pin provides a safety ground for the display frame and
will only fit into the power outlet of compatible configuration.
Contact your technician to replace an obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding plug.
3-2
POWER INPUT
This display should be operated only from the types of power source
indicated on the label. If there is any question about the type of power
supplied to the outlet consult your technician or dealer.
3-3
VENTILATION
Openings on the cabinet back and bottom are provided for ventilation.
To insure reliable operation and to protect the display from overheating
these openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not place the display
near or over a radiator or heating vent. If this unit is installed within
another enclosure be sure that adequate ventilation has been provided.
Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet openings as they may
come into contact with dangerous voltage points or cause short circuits
that could result in fire or electrical shock.
3-4
ATTACHMENTS
Signal sources must be of approved types and properly grounded. If
safety standards are to be maintained a service technician should perform
routine safety tests to determine that all the equipment are in safe
operating condition.
Overloaded or poorly grounded AC power systems can cause severe
difference in ground potential between the display and the signal source.
This is the case particularly on long video lines where the display and the
source are plugged into different AC power circuits. Besides causing
signal instability, ground potential may be great enough to present a
shock hazard. Ground potential tests should be part of routine safety
check carried out by a service technician.
