Precautions

On Installation
Do not allow
anything
to rest
upon
or roll over the
power
cord,
and do not
place
the
display

tub,
in
a wet
basement,
or near a
swimming pool.
Displays
are
provided
with ventilation
openings
in
the cabinet to allow the release
of heat
generated during operation.
If
these
openings
are
blocked,

heat
can cause failures which
may
result
in
a fire hazard.
Therefore,
NEVER:
Block the bottom ventilation slots
by placing
the
display
on a
bed, sofa,
rug,
etc.
Place the
display
in
a built-in enclosure unless
proper
ventilation is
provided.
Cover the
openings
with cloth or other material.
Place the
display

for a
long
time as this
may
cause
some
afterimages.

have no
impact
or effect on the

image quality
for
your
LCD
display.

cloth. Do not use an aerosol
directly
on the
display
screen because
over-spraying may
cause electrical shock.

it
in
its
original
