PRECAUTIONS

 

 

z

 

Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, 
kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement. 

z

  Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the 

monitor falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to 
the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the 
manufacturer or sold with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on 
a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer 
and follow the kit instructions. 

z

  Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are 

provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor 
and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not 
blocked or covered. Do not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, 
or similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or over a radiator 
or heat register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase or cabinet 
unless proper ventilation is provided. 

z

  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 
supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. 

z

  The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a 

plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a 
grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not 
accommodate the three-wire plug, have an electrician install the 
correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do 
not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug. 

z

  Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used 

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

z

  Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can 

result in fire or electric shock. 

z

  Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could 

short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids 
on the monitor. 

z

  Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself; opening or 

removing covers can expose you to dangerous voltages and other 
hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 

z

  To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL 

listed computers which have appropriate configured receptacles 
marked between 100 - 240V AC, Min. 5A. 

z

  The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be 

easily accessible. 

z

   For use only with the attached power adapter (Output 12Vdc) 

which have

  UL, CSA 

listed license.
