To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor, use the following guidelines:

• Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only

those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If your monitor is not
operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your Compaq authorized
dealer, reseller, or service provider.

• Place your monitor at least 3 inches (76 mm) away from walls or other enclosures.

• Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on the

label/back plate.

• When you connect your monitor to an outlet or extension cord, be sure the total ampere

rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the current rating of the
electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products connected to the cord does not
exceed the rating of the cord.

• Install your monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect your monitor by

grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect your monitor by
pulling the cord.

• Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy

of your monitor by using a screen saver program and turning off your monitor when not in
use.

• Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or

aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. If the screen requires additional cleaning,
use an antistatic CRT screen cleaner.

CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other volatile

substances to clean your monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage

the cabinet finish as well as the screen.

• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be

blocked or covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.

• Do not place plants on top of your monitor. Water or dirt from the plant may get into

the vents.

• Do not drop your monitor or place it on an unstable surface.

• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.

• Keep your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat and

moisture. Keep your monitor away from high-capacity transformers, electric motors, and
other devices with strong magnetic fields.

• In a two-monitor system, place your monitors as far apart from one another as possible to

lessen interference between them.
