SAFETY INSTRUCTION
- Do not use the monitor where there is a lot of dust, where
humidity is high, or where the monitor may come into contact
with oil or steam, as this could lead to fire.
- Ensure that the monitor does not come into contact with water
or other fluids. Ensure that no objects such as paper clips or pins
enter the monitor as this could lead to fire or electric shock.
- Do not place the monitor on top of unstable objects or in unsafe
places. Do not allow the monitor to receive strong shocks or to
strongly vibrate. Causing the monitor to fall or topple over may
damage it.
- Do not use the monitor near heating equipment or in places
where there is likelihood of high temperature, as this may lead to
generation of excessive heat and outbreak of fire.
- Do not use the monitor in places where it may be exposed to
direct sunlight.
- The AC outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.
The Power Cord and AC adapter
- Use only the power cord and AC adapter supplied with the
monitor.
- When handling the AC adapter, observe the following:
Incorrect handling may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Do not drop the AC adapter or subject it to impact.
• Never disassemble the AC adapter. It contains high voltage
parts that are dangerous to touch.
• The AC adapter is for indoor use only. Do not use it outside.
• Do not use the supplied AC adapter with other devices.
- Do not damage the power cord and AC adapter nor place heavy
objects on it, stretch it or over bend it. Also, do not add extension
cords. Damage to the cord may result in fire or electric shock.
- Do not use the power cord with a power tap.
Adding an extension cord may lead to fire as a result of
overheating.
- Do not remove or insert the power plug with wet hands.
Doing so could result in electric shock.
- Unplug the power cord if it is not used for a long time.
- Do not attempt to repair the power cord if it is broken or
malfunctioning. Refer the servicing to the service representative.
- Do not stay in contact with the parts of the product and the AC
adapter that become hot for long periods of time.
Doing so may result in low-temperature burns.
- Do not fasten the AC adapter to the monitor or other equipment.
Doing so may result in fire and electrical shock.
To maintain compliance with EMC regulations, use shielded cables to connect to the DisplayPort input terminal.
If a monitor is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly
to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
• Using fixing devices like wall mount brackets recommended by the manufacturer.
• Only using furniture that can safely support the monitor.
• Ensuring the monitor is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• Not placing the monitor on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the
monitor to a suitable support.
• Not standing the monitors on cloth or other materials placed between the monitor and supporting furniture.
• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the monitor or its controls.
Especially for child safety
- Don’t allow children to climb on or play with the monitor.
- Don’t place the monitor on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
- Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” monitor. Care should be
taken to place or install the monitor where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
- Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the monitor so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious
children.
