Care and
Maintenance
This section explains how to care for and maintain your
Compaq monitor during normal everyday use.
Protecting the Monitor
To protect your monitor from overheating and other types of
damage, follow these suggestions:
■
Place the monitor at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the
wall.
■
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for
this monitor, as indicated on the marking label/back plate.
■
If an extension cord or power strip is used, make sure that
the cord or strip is rated for the product and that the total
ampere ratings of all products plugged into the extension
cord or power strip do not exceed 80% of the extension cord
or strip ampere ratings limit.
■
Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or
convenience receptacle. The overall system load must not
exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating. If power strips are
used, the load should not exceed 80% of the power strip
input rating.
■
Install the monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach.
Disconnect the product by grasping the plug firmly and
pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by
pulling the cord.
■
Turn the monitor off when not using it. You can substan-
tially increase the life expectancy of the monitor by using a
screen saver program and turning off the monitor when it is
not in use.
■
Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
■
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 the monitor. Water or dirt
from the plant may fall into the vents.
■
Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
