  1. Read and follow this user manual strictly.

  2. To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken. For each of the following situations, do not attempt to repair yourself; return the monitor to an authorized service facility for service or discard the monitor.
    1. Carefully examine the monitor after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.

    3. To avoid the possibility of the monitor plug getting wet, position the aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A "drip loop", shown in the figure below, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting the monitor to the receptacle. The "drip loop" is the part of the cord below the level of the receptacle or the connector. If an extension cord is used, prevent water from traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse to the circuit breaker that supplies power to the monitor. Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the receptacle.
