15. Monitors are designed to comply with the recommended 
      safety standards for tilt and stability. 
      Do not apply excessive pulling force to the front, or top, of the
      cabinet which could cause the product to overturn resulting in 
      product damage and/or personal injury. 
16. Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as   
   recommended by the manufacturer. 
17. Under no circumstances remove the rear cover of your   
      monitor. 
      Never guess or take any chances with electrical equipment of

      any kind - it is better to be safe than sorry! 
18. After the monitor has been on for any length of time, you will 
      notice that the screen becomes warm. Please note that this 
   is normal. 
      Sometimes the screen might have some tiny bright or dark 
      spots. Please note that this is normal. 
19. To prevent scratches or damages to the Plasma screen, do 
      not knock or rub the surface with sharp or hard objects.   
      Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened with warm   
      water and dry with a soft cloth. A mild soap may be used if 
      the screen is extremely dirty. Do not use harsh or abrasive 
   cleaners! 
20. Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet and control panel of the
      monitor. When excessively soiled dilute a neutral detergent 
      in water, wet and wring out the soft cloth and afterward wipe
      with a dry soft cloth. 
      Never use acid/alkaline detergent, alcoholic detergent,   
      abrasive cleaner, powder soap, OA cleaner, car wax, glass 
      cleaner, etc. especially because they would cause   
   discoloration, scratches or cracks.

    grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with

    where they exit from the apparatus. 
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the   
  manufacturer. 
12.            Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
               or table specified by the manufacturer, or 
               sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used,
               use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
               combination to avoid injury from tip-over. 
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when 
    unused for long periods of time.

    apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not 
    operate normally, or has been dropped.
