Safety Tips

Before connecting the AC power cord
1.
to an outlet, make sure the voltage
designation on your monitor corre-
sponds to the local electrical supply.
Never insert anything metallic into the
2.
monitor openings. Doing so may cre-
ate the danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never touch
3.
the inside of the monitor. Only a quali-
fied technician should open the moni-
tor's case.
4. Never use your monitor if the power
cord has been damaged. Do not allow
anything to rest on the power cord,
and keep the cord away from where
people could trip over it.
Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord,
5.
when disconnecting the monitor from
an electric socket.
6. Openings in the monitor cabinet are
provided for ventilation. To prevent
overheating, these openings should
not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid
using the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug
or other soft surface. Doing so may
block the ventilation openings in the
bottom of the cabinet. If you put the
monitor in a bookcase or some other
enclosed space, be sure to provide
adequate ventilation.

Put your monitor in a location with low
humidity and a minimum of dust.
Avoid places like damp basements or
dusty hallways.
Do not expose the monitor to rain or
use it near water ( in kitchens, next to
swimming pools, etc.). If the monitor
accidentally gets wet, unplug it and
contact an authorized dealer immedi-
ately. You can clean the monitor with
a damp cloth when necessary, but be
sure to unplug the monitor first.
Place the monitor on a solid surface,
and treat it kindly. The screen is made
of glass and can be damaged if
dropped or sharply hit.
Locate your monitor near an easily
accessible AC outlet.
If your monitor does not operate nor-
mally - in particular, if there are any
unusual sounds or smells coming from
it - unplug it immediately and contact
an authorized dealer or service center.
High temperatures can cause pro-
blems. Don't try to use your monitor in
direct sunlight, and keep it away from
heaters, stoves, fireplaces and other
sources of heat.
Unplug the monitor when it is going to
be left unused for an extended period
of time.
Unplug your monitor from the AC out-
let before any service.
