PRECAUTIONS
•Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry
tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
•Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can
injure a person and cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand
recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on
a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit
instructions.
•Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these
openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or
similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not
place the monitor in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
•The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer

electric shock.
•Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short circuit parts
causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.
•Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself; opening or removing covers can
expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
