Important Safety Information
The power cord is designed for use with your monitor. To use a
different cord, use only a power source and connection compatible
with this monitor.
Å
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your
equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. The
grounding plug is an important safety feature. Connect the
equipment to a grounded (earthed) power outlet.
Å
WARNING: For your safety, be sure that the grounded power outlet
you plug the power cord into is easily accessible to the operator and
located as close to the equipment as possible. To disconnect power
from the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by
grasping the plug firmly. Never pull on the cord.
Ä
CAUTION: To protect your monitor, as well as your computer,
connect all power cords for your computer and its peripheral devices
(such as a monitor, printer, or scanner) to a surge protection device
such as a power strip with surge protection or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS).
Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strips must
be specifically labeled as having this ability. Use a power strip
whose manufacturer offers a damage replacement policy so you can
replace your equipment if surge protection fails.
