CAUTION
INSTALLATION LOCATION
Do not install the monitor where sudden temperature changes may occur, or in humid, dusty or smoky
areas as it may cause fire, electric shock or damage. You should also avoid areas where the sun
shines directly on the monitor.
DO NOT PLACE THE MONITOR IN A HAZARDOUS POSITION
The monitor may topple and cause injury if not suitably located. Please also ensure that you do not
place any heavy objects on the monitor, and that all cables are routed such that children may not pull
the cables and possibly cause injury.
MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION
Ventilation slots are provided to keep the monitor from overheating. Covering the slots may cause
fire. To allow adequate air circulation, place the monitor at least 10 cm (or 4 inches) from any walls.
Do not remove the tilt stand when operating the monitor. Ventilation slots on the back of the cabinet
will be blocked and the monitor may overheat if the stand is removed. This may cause fire or damage.
Operating the monitor on its back, side, upside down or on a carpet or any other soft material may
also cause damage.
DISCONNECT THE CABLES WHEN YOU MOVE THE MONITOR
When you move the monitor, turn off the power switch, unplug the monitor and be sure the signal
cable is disconnected. If you do not disconnect them, it may cause fire or electric shock.
UNPLUG THE MONITOR
If the monitor is not in use for a long period of time it is recommended that it is left unplugged to avoid
accidents.
HOLD THE PLUG WHEN DISCONNECTING
To disconnect the power cable or signal cable, always pull it by the plug. Never pull on the cable itself
as this may cause fire or electric shock.
DO NOT TOUCH THE PLUG WITH WET HANDS
Pulling or inserting the plug with wet hands may cause electric shock.
WHEN YOU INSTALL THE MONITOR ON YOUR COMPUTER
Be sure the computer is strong enough to hold the weight of the monitor, otherwise, you may damage
your computer.
DO NOT PUT FLOPPY DISKS NEAR THE SPEAKERS
Magnetically recorded data, such as on a floppy disk, may become corrupted by the magnetic field
produced by the speakers if the disks are placed on or near the speakers.
ERGONOMIC RECOMMENDATIONS
To eliminate eye fatigue, do not operate the monitor against a bright background or in a dark room. For
optimal viewing comfort, the monitor should be just below eye level and 40-60 cm (16-24 inches)
away from your eyes. When using the monitor over a prolonged time, a ten minute break every hour
is recommended as looking at the screen continuously can cause eye strain.
