near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet
basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
• Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an
unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to
the product. Use a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with
the product. Do not allow the monitor to receive strong shocks or to strongly vibrate. When mounting
the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting
hardware recommended by the manufacturer.
• Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.
• Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover
or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten
the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they
can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the
product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
• The Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can
break when the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be
injured by broken glass pieces in case the panel breaks.
• Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
• The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 2,073,600 pixels, giving you fine picture
details.
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.
Also, if the screen is viewed from an acute angle there may be uneven colors or brightness.
Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.

monitor.

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the
