Important Safety Information
Always be careful when using your Monitor. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other
injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and
maintaining your machine.
• Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your Monitor.
• Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
• Heed all warnings on the Monitor and in the operating instructions.
• Follow all operating and use instructions.
• Unplug the Monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
• Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions
can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.
• Do not use the Monitor where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bath
tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.
• Do not place the Monitor on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
table, or floor where it can fall. A falling Monitor can cause serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use
only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the Monitor. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer. Move the Monitor and cart with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the
unit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn.
• Provide ventilation for the Monitor. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to pro-
tect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the Monitor
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you
place the Monitor on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you've
followed the manufacturer's instructions for mounting.
• Operate your Monitor only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company.
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this Monitor is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
