Safety instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to protect your monitor from potential damage
and to ensure your personal safety. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure
included in this document assumes that you have read the safety information that
shipped with your monitor.
Before using the monitor, read the safety information that is
shipped with your monitor and also printed on the product. Keep the
documentation at a secure location for future reference.
CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than
those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock,
electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.
• Place the monitor on a solid surface and handle it carefully. The screen is fragile
and can be damaged if dropped or hit with a sharp object.
• Always be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC
power available in your location.
• Keep the monitor in room temperature. Excessive cold or hot conditions can have
an adverse effect on the liquid crystal of the display.
• Connect the power cable from the monitor to a wall outlet that is near and
accessible. See Connecting your monitor.
• Do not place and use the monitor on a wet surface or near water.
• Do not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions. For
example, do not place the monitor inside a car trunk.
• Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of
time.
• To avoid electric shock, do not attempt to remove any cover or touch the inside
of the monitor.
• Read these instructions carefully. Keep this document for future reference. Follow
all warnings and instructions marked on product.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing
loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to maximum increases the earphones and
headphones output voltage and therefore the sound pressure level.
• The equipment can be installed on wall or ceiling mounting in horizontal position.
