keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away

from the monitor.

The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.

Installation

•on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes

•near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight

•in a place subject to severe temperature changes

•in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock

•on an unstable surface

•near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power lines

•near or on an electrically charged metal surface

Maintenance

•Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen’s coating.
