SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES

• Do not place the monitor on an unstable surface where it could fall and cause either personal injury or damage to the monitor and/or other equipment.
• Do not expose the monitor to water or moisture of any kind. Do not place objects containing moisture, such as a glass or vase, where it could tip over and spill into or onto the monitor.
• If the monitor is exposed to water or moisture, immediately unplug it from its power source and allow it to completely dry out before reapplying power.
• Do not block the ventilation holes in the monitor's casing. Do not place the monitor in a confined space with inadequate ventilation.
• Do not place the monitor near a heat source, such as a fireplace, heating vent, radiator, etc.
• The power supply for this monitor uses a NEMA 5-15 three prong, grounded plug. Do not use a "cheater" plug or otherwise bypass the grounding pin.
• The power supply for this monitor accepts a wide range of input voltages, from 100 to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz, with a current of at least 1.7A. Ensure that your power source is within these limits. If not, consult a professional electrician or your power company for a resolution.
• Unplug the monitor if it will go unused for a long period of time.
• This monitor has no user serviceable parts. Do not open the case or otherwise attempt to modify this monitor.
• Clean only using a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, solvents, or detergents. For stubborn deposits, moisten the cloth with warm water.
• Do not leave a single image on the display for a long period of time. Doing so could cause "burn-in" of the image. It is recommended to use a variable desktop background and to use a screen saver to prevent "burn-in". Alternatively, ensure that the monitor is powered off for at least 2 hours out of every 12.
