SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety Precautions
Read through the following Safety Precautions before using the
monitor.
• Only use the accessories that are provided with the monitor or that
which are recommended by the manufacturer.
• Keep the plastic packaging bag for the product in a place that cannot
be reached by children.
• Before connecting the monitor to the power outlet, make sure that
the voltage rating of the power cable is compatible with the power
specification in the country where you are located.
• The power cord plug must be connected to a properly wired and
grounded power outlet.
• Do not touch the plug with wet hands, otherwise easily cause electric
shock.
• Place the monitor in a stable and well-ventilated place.
• Do not place the monitor near any heat sources such as electric
radiators or direct sunlight.
• The holes or openings on the monitor are for ventilation. Do not
cover or block the ventilation holes with any objects.
• Do not use the monitor near water, drinks, or all types of liquids.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the
monitor.
• Make sure to unplug the monitor from the power outlet before
cleaning.
• As the screen surface is easy to be scratched, avoid touching
the surface with any hard or sharp object.
• Use a soft lint-free cloth instead of a tissue to wipe the screen. You
may use a glass cleaner to clean the monitor if required.
However, never spray the cleaner directly onto the screen.
• Disconnect the power cable if the monitor is not being used for a
long period of time.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the monitor yourself.

Stability Hazard Precautions
The product may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. To
prevent injury, this product must be securely attached to the floor/wall in
accordance with the installation instructions.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple
precautions such as:
• ALWAYS use stands or installation methods recommended by the
manufacturer of the product set.
• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the product.
• ALWAYS ensure the product is not overhanging the edge of the
supporting furniture.
• ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture
to reach the product or its controls.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your product so they
cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
• NEVER place a product in an unstable location.
• NEVER place the product on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or
bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the product to
a suitable support.
• NEVER place the product on cloth or other materials that may be
located between the product and supporting furniture.
• NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys
and remote controls, on the top of the product or furniture on which
the product is placed.
• If the existing product is going to be retained and relocated, the
same considerations as above should be applied.
• To prevent personal injury or damage to the product caused by
tipping over due to earthquakes or other shocks, make sure to install
the product in a stable location and take measures to prevent falling.
