Power
The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure

The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug
will t only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire
plug, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long periods of time. This will protect
the monitor from damage due to power surges.
Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in re or electric shock.
