PRECAUTIONS

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture. Dangerously high voltages are present inside the monitor. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

•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.

•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.

•Do not install the monitor in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sun- light, or excessive dust or mechanical vibration or shock.

•The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug, have an electrician install the correct outlet or ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.

•Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges.

•Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or 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.

•To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate configured recepta- cles marked between 100 - 240V AC, Min. 5A.

•The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

•Operating temperature 0° - 35°C, 32° - 96°F, storage temperature -20° - 60°C, -4° - 140°F

•Operating humidity 10% to 85%
