tions may look different from the actual prod-
uct.
yDo not carry the monitor upside-down as this
may cause it to fall off its stand, resulting in
damage or injury.
yTo avoid damaging the screen when lifting
or moving the monitor, only hold the stand or
the plastic cover. This avoids putting unnec-
essary pressure on the screen.
yOnly remove the tape and the locking pin
when the monitor is mounted on the stand
base and is in an upright position. Otherwise,
the stand body may protrude, which may
lead to injury.

To protect the screen from scratches, cover the
surface with a soft cloth.
2Using a coin, turn the screw in the stand base
counterclockwise. Detach the stand base from
