• Slots and openings in the sides, back, and bottom are provided for 
ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the monitor, and to protect 
it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings 
should never be blocked by placing the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or 
other soft surface. This monitor should never be placed near or over a 
radiator or heat register.
This monitor should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a 
bookcase, unless proper ventilation is provided.
• This monitor should be operated only from the type of power source 
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the power 
supplied to your home, consult your monitor dealer or local power 
company.
• This monitor is equipped with a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. 
This plug will fit only into a three-prong power outlet. This is a safety 
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact 
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not locate this 
monitor where the cord may be stepped on.
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the monitor.
• For added protection for this monitor during a lightning storm, or when 
it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from 
the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the monitor or the 
computer due to lightning and power line surges.
• Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, because 
overloading can cause a fire or electric shock.
• Never push objects of any kind into this monitor through slots in the 
case, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts 
that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any 
kind on the monitor.
• Do not attempt to service this monitor yourself, because opening or 
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other 
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service technicians.
• Unplug this monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified 
service technicians under the following conditions:
• When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled into the monitor.
• If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the monitor does not operate normally by following the operating 
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the 
operating instructions, because incorrect adjustment of other 
controls may result in damage and often requires extensive work 
by a qualified technician to restore normal operation.
• If the monitor has been dropped or the case has been damaged.
• When the monitor exhibits a distinct change in performance.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician 
has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have 
the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized 
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
