This device is intended for indoor use only.
Do not expose this device to water or moisture of any

the monitor and/or other equipment.
Do not expose this device to excessive vibration.
Do not subject the product to extreme force, shock, or
fluctuations in temperature or humidity.

temperatures. Do not place it in, on, or near a heat source,
such as a fireplace, stove, radiator, etc. Do not leave it in

Prior to operation, check the unit and power cord for
physical damage. Do not use if physical damage has
occurred.
Before plugging the unit into a power outlet, ensure that
the outlet provides the same type and level of power
required by the device.
Unplug this device from the power source when not in use.
Take care to prevent damage to the power cord. Do not
allow it to become crimped, pinched, walked on, or
become tangled with other cords. Ensure that the power
cord does not present a tripping hazard.
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord.
Always grasp the connector head or adapter body.
Clean using a soft, dry cloth only. Do not use chemical
cleaners, solvents, or detergents. For stubborn deposits,
moisten the cloth with warm water.
This monitor has no user serviceable parts. Do not open
the case or otherwise attempt to modify this monitor.
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 powered off for at
least 2 hours out of every 12.
Keep the original foam packaging material for use when
installing or removing the included stand.
