Safety information

•  Before setting up the monitor, carefully read all the documentation that came 

with the package.   

•  To prevent fire or shock hazard, never expose the monitor to rain or moisture.  
•  Never try to open the monitor cabinet. The dangerous high voltages inside the 

monitor may result in serious physical injury. 

•  If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified 

service technician or your retailer.  

•  Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the 

power cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer 

immediately. 

•  Slots  and  openings  on  the  back  or  top  of  the  cabinet  are  provided  for 

ventilation. Do not block these slots. Never place this product near or over a 

radiator or heat source unless proper ventilation is provided.  

•  The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated 

on  the  label.  If  you  are  not  sure  of  the  type  of  power  supply  to  your  home, 

consult your dealer or local power company. 

•  Use the appropriate power plug which complies with your local power standard. 
•  Do not overload power strips and extention cords. Overloading can result in fire 

or electric shock.   

•  Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the monitor in 

any area where it may become wet. Place the monitor on a stable surface.   

•  Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or if it will not be used for a long period 

of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges. 

•  Never  push  objects  or  spill  liquid  of  any  kind  into  the  slots  on  the  monitor 

cabinet.

•  To  ensure  satisfactory  operation,  use  the  monitor  only  with  UL  listed  

computers  which  have  appropriate  configured  receptacles  marked  between 

100-240V AC.  

•  If  you  encounter  technical  problems  with  the  monitor,  contact  a  qualified 

service technician or your retailer.

•  The adapter is only used for this monitor, do not use it for other purpose. 

Your device uses one of the following power supplies:

This symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the product (electrical,
