CAUTION: Safety Instruction
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:
lTo help avoid damaging your computer, be sure that the voltage selection switch on the power supply for the computer is set to match the alternating
current (AC) power available at your location:
¡115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as Japan, South Korea (also 220 volts (V)/60
hertz (Hz)), and Taiwan.
¡230 volts (V)/50 hertz (Hz) in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
Always be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.
lDo not store or use the LCD monitor in locations that are exposed to heat, direct sunlight, or extreme cold.
lAvoid moving the LCD monitor between locations with large temperature differences.
lDo not subject the LCD monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions. For example, do not place the LCD monitor inside a car trunk.
lDo not store or use the LCD monitor in locations exposed to high humidity or dusty environment.
lDo not allow water or other liquids to spill on or into the LCD monitor.
lKeep flat panel monitor in room temperature conditions. Excessive cold or hot conditions can have an adverse effect on the liquid crystal of the display.
lNever insert anything metallic into the monitor openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock.
lTo avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the monitor case.
lNever use your monitor if the power cable has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Keep the power cable away from
where people could trip over it.
lBe sure to grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the monitor from an electric socket.
lOpenings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Avoid using the
monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface, as doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you place the monitor
in a bookcase or an enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation and air flow.
lPlace your monitor in a location with low humidity and minimum dust. Avoid places similar to a damp basement or dusty hallway.
lDo 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 immediately. You can clean the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, being sure to unplug the monitor first.
lPlace the monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or hit sharply.
lLocate your monitor near an easily accessible electric outlet.
lIf your monitor does not operate normally -in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it -unplug it immediately and contact an
authorized dealer or service center.
lDo not attempt to remove the back cover, as you will be exposed to an electrical shock hazard. The back cover should only be removed by qualified
service personnel.
lHigh temperatures can cause problems. Don't use your monitor in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources
of heat.
lUnplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.
lUnplug your monitor from the electric outlet before any service is performed.
