SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES
Please read this entire manual before using this device, paying extra attention to these
safety warnings and guidelines. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Do not place the monitor on an unstable surface where it could fall and cause either
personal injury or damage to the monitor and/or other equipment.
Do not expose the monitor to water or moisture of any kind. Do not place objects
containing moisture, such as a glass or vase, where it could tip over and spill into or
onto the monitor.
If the monitor is exposed to water or moisture, immediately unplug it from its
power source and allow it to completely dry out before reapplying power.
Do not block the ventilation holes in the monitor's casing. Do not place the monitor
in a confined space with inadequate ventilation.
Do not place the monitor near a heat source, such as a fireplace, heating vent,
radiator, etc.
The power supply for this monitor uses a NEMA 5-15 three prong, grounded plug. Do
not use a "cheater" plug or otherwise bypass the grounding pin.
The power supply for this monitor accepts a wide range of input voltages, from 100
to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz. Ensure that your power source is within these limits. If not,
consult a professional electrician or your power company for a resolution.
Unplug the monitor if it will go unused for a long period of time.
This monitor has no user serviceable parts. Do not open the case or otherwise
attempt to modify this monitor.
Clean only using a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, solvents, or
detergents. For stubborn deposits, moisten the cloth with warm water.
Do not leave a single image on the display for a long period of time. Doing so could
cause "burn-in" of the image. It is recommended to use a variable desktop
background and to use a screen saver to prevent "burn-in". Alternatively, ensure
that the monitor is power off for at least 2 hours out of every 12.
