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.

Important Safety Instructions

1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.

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.
