Safety warnings and precautions

• The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable. The AC 

receptacle (mains socket outlet) shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily 

accessible. To completely disconnect this equipment from the AC mains, disconnect the 

power cord plug from the AC receptacle.

• Do not place this display on an uneven, sloping or unstable surface (such as a trolley) 

where it may fall and cause damage to itself or others.

• Do not place this display near water, like a spa or pool, or in a position which will allow 

the splashing or spraying of water onto the display, like in front of an open window 

where rain water may enter.

• Do not install this display in a confined space without proper ventilation and air 

circulation, such as in a closed cabinet. Allow proper space around the display for 

dissipating heat inside. Do not block any openings and vents on the display. Overheating 

may result in hazards and electric shock.

• Installation of this display should only be performed by a qualified technician. Failure to 

install this display properly may cause injuries and damages to the personnels and the 

display itself. Check the installation regularly and maintain the display periodically to 

ensure the best working condition.

• Use only the accessories approved or recommended by the manufacturer to mount this 

display. Using wrong or unsuitable accessories may cause the display to fall and result in 

serious personal injuries. Make sure that the surface and fixing points are strong enough 

to sustain the weight of the display.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove covers. No user serviceable parts 

inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

• To prevent personal injuries, mounting the display or installing desktop stands is 

required before use.

THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE 

GROUNDED
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin 

plug must be inserted only into a 

standard three-pin power outlet which 

is effectively grounded through normal 

household wiring. Extension cords 

used with the equipment must have 

three cores and be correctly wired to 

provide connection to the ground. 

Wrongly wired extension cords are a 

major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates 

satisfactorily does not imply that the 

power outlet is grounded or that the 

installation is completely safe. For your 

safety, if you are in any doubt about 

the effective grounding of the power 

outlet, please consult a qualified 

electrician.

The lightning flash with arrowhead 

symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is 

intended to alert the user to the 

presence of uninsulated “dangerous 

voltage” within the product's enclosure 

that may be of sufficient magnitude to 

constitute a risk of electric shock to 

persons.
The exclamation point within an 

equilateral triangle is intended to alert 

the user to the presence of important 

operating and maintenance (servicing) 

instructions in the literature 

accompanying the appliance.
