CAUTION: Safety Instructions

CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result

in exposure to shock, electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.

Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:

To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure that the voltage selection switch on the power supply for the computer is set to

match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location:

115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as Japan, South

Korea (also 220 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz)), and Taiwan.

230 volts (V)/50 hertz (Hz) in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.

Always be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.

NOTE: This monitor does not need or have a voltage selection switch for setting the AC voltage input. It will automatically accept any

AC input voltage according to the ranges defined in the "Electrical Specifications" section in the User's Guide.

Do not store or use the monitor in locations that are exposed to heat, direct sunlight, or extreme cold.

Avoid moving the monitor between locations with large temperature differences.

Do not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions. For example, do not place the monitor inside a car

trunk.

Do not store or use the monitor in locations exposed to high humidity or dusty environment.

Do not allow water or other liquids to spill on or into the monitor.

Keep flat panel monitor in room temperature conditions. Excessive cold or hot conditions can have an adverse effect on the liquid

crystal of the display.

Never insert anything metallic into the monitor openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock.

To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the monitor case.

Never use your monitor if the power cable has been damaged. Ensure that nothing rests on your computer's cables and that the

cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

Be sure to grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the monitor from an electric socket.

Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or

covered. Avoid using the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface, as doing so may block the ventilation openings in the

bottom of the cabinet. If you place the monitor in a bookcase or an enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation and

air flow.

Place your monitor in a location with low humidity and minimum dust. Avoid places similar to a damp basement or dusty hallway.

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 authorized dealer immediately. You can clean the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary,

being sure to unplug the monitor first.

Place the monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or hit

sharply.

Locate your monitor near an easily accessible electric outlet.

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.
