Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these open- ings should not be blocked or cov- ered. Also, avoid using the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you put the moni- tor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to pro- vide adequate ventilation.
Preface: Safety Information

Please read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor.

1

Before connecting the AC power

cord to an outlet, make sure the

 

voltage designation on your moni-

 

tor corresponds to the local elec-

 

trical supply.

2

Never insert anything metallic into

the monitor openings. Doing so

 

may create the danger of electric

 

shock.

3

To avoid electric shock, never

touch the inside of the monitor.

 

Only a qualified technician should

 

open the monitor’s case.

4

Never use your monitor if the

power cord has been damaged.

 

Do not allow anything to rest on

 

the power cord, and keep the cord

 

away from where people could trip

 

over it.

5

Be sure to hold the plug, not the

cord, when disconnecting the

monitor from an electric socket.

6

7

Put your monitor in a location with

low humidity and a minimum of

 

dust. Avoid places like damp

 

basements or dusty hallways.

8

Do not expose the monitor to rain

or use it near water (in kitchens,

 

next to swimming pools, etc.). If

 

the monitor accidentally gets wet,

 

unplug it and contact an author-

 

ized dealer immediately. You can

 

clean the monitor with a damp

 

cloth when necessary, but be sure

 

to unplug the monitor first.

9

Place the monitor on a solid sur-

face and treat it carefully. The

 

screen is made of glass and can

 

be damaged if dropped or sharply

 

hit.

 

Locate your monitor near an easily

10 accessible AC outlet.

11

If your monitor does not operate

normally – in particular, if there

are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it – unplug it immediately and contact an authorized dealer or service center.

12 High temperatures can cause problems. Don’t use your monitor in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat.

13 Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.

14 Unplug your monitor from the AC outlet before any service.
