Care and Safety
To ensure full performance and safe operation of your SM124
Monitor, follow these simple guidelines:
•The recessed vents in the monitor’s housing help to cool it
while operating. Never obstruct the airflow through these
openings by placing the monitor on abed or sofa. Never
place the monitor in abookcase or other tightly enclosed
area unless adequate ventilation is provided.
•Do not place spillable liquids' on top or near the monitor (and
do not operate the monitor near water.) Spilling liquids into
the ventilation slots will seriously damage your monitor. If such
an accident does occur, immediately switch the monitor off,
unplug it, then contact an authorized ATARI Service Center.
•To avoid electric shock, never poke any object through the
ventilation openings, and never open the monitor’s housing
yourself. Caution children not to poke anything through the
vents.
•Always grasp the solid plastic plug, not the cord itseff or the
plug’s prongs, when plugging in or unplugging the monitor.
•Do not leave the monitor switched on when not in use.
Unplug your monitor if you do not intend to use it for an
extended period of time.
•Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and do not expose
it to extreme temperatures or high humidity.
•Keep the monitor squarely on afirm, level surface.
•Avoid scratching the screen’s surface. Keep hard, sharp
objects (such as rings and other jewelry) away from the
monitor’s screen. And never set the monitor face down.
•Clean the screen with asoft, clean, slightly damp (not wet),
lint-free cloth. Do not use spray cleaners as their spray may
inadvertently reach the ventilation opening.
•If strange smells or sounds come from the monitor, switch
it off, unplug it, and contact an authorized ATARI Service
Center.
