in a safe place for future reference.
•This device is intended for indoor use only.
•Do not expose this device to water or moisture of any kind. Do not
place drinks or other containers with moisture on or near the
device. If moisture does get in or on the device, immediately
remove it from its power source and allow it to fully dry before
reapplying power.
•Do not touch the device, the power cord, or any other connected
cables with wet hands.
•Do not expose this device to excessive vibration, extreme force,
shock, or fluctuations in temperature or humidity.
•Do not expose this device to excessively high temperatures. Do not
place it in, on, or near a heat source, such as a fireplace, stove,
radiator, etc. Do not leave it in direct sunlight.
•Do not place or install this device in an area where it can be
exposed to excessive amounts of dust, humidity, oil, smoke, or
combustible vapors.
•Do not block the ventilation holes in the monitor's casing. Do not
place the monitor in a confined space with inadequate ventilation.
Periodically check the ventilation holes to ensure they do not
become clogged with dust, debris, or nearby items.
•This device uses a grounded power cord and requires a ground
connection for safe operation. Ensure that the power source has a
proper ground connection. Do not modify the plug or use a
"cheater" plug to bypass the ground connection.

•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.
