Safety Instructions: Dell™ W2300 LCD TV User's Guide

DELL W2300 - Safety Instructions: Dell™ W2300 LCD TV User's Guide - 1

Caution: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.

Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your LCD TV:

- To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure that the voltage selection switch on the power supply for the computer is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location:

  • 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as Japan, South Korea (also 220 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz)), and Taiwan.
  • 230 volts (V)/50 hertz (Hz) in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.

Always be sure that your LCD TV is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.

DELL W2300 - Safety Instructions: Dell™ W2300 LCD TV User's Guide - 2

Note: This LCD TV does not need or have a voltage selection switch for setting the AC voltage according to the ranges defined in the Electrical for PC section in the Specifications page.

  • Never insert anything metallic into the LCD TV openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock.
    • To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the LCD TV. Only a qualified technician should open the LCD TV case.
  • Never use your LCD TV if the power cable has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Keep the power cable away from where people could trip over it.
  • Be sure to grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the LCD TV from an electric socket.
  • Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult

an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

  • Openings in the LCD TV cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Avoid using the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface, as doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you place the LCD TV in a bookcase or an enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation and air flow.
  • Place your LCD TV in a location with low humidity and minimum dust. Avoid places similar to a damp basement or dusty hallway.
  • Do not expose the LCD TV to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, next to swimming pools, etc.). If the LCD TV accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact Dell immediately. You can clean the LCD TV with a damp cloth when necessary, being sure to unplug the LCD TV first.
  • Place the LCD TV on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or hit sharply. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table capable to adequately support your LCD TV. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/ LCD TV combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Contact Dell for mounting accessories.

  • A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;or
    B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;or
    。 C. The appliance has been exposed to rain;or
    D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance;or
    E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged. Tilt/Stability-All televisions must comply with recommended international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinets design.

Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to the front, or top of the cabinet which could ultimately overturn the product.

Do not place electronic equipment/toys on the top of the set. As such items could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.

Wall or Ceiling Mounting-The LCD TV should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer. Power Lines-An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding-If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric Code. ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mats and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to and antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.

Refer to limited warranty section of your user guide for service of your LCD TV. Servicing is required when the LCD TV has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into LCD TV the LCD TV has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system fo the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

"Total Satisfaction" Return Policy (Canada Only)

If you are an end-user customer who bought new products directly from Dell, you may return them to Dell up to 30 days after you receive them for a refund or credit of the product purchase price. If you are an end-user customer who bought reconditioned or refurbished products from Dell, you may return them to Dell within 14 days after the date on the packing slip or invoice for a refund or credit of the product purchase price. In either case, the refund or credit will not include any shipping and handling charges shown on your packing slip or invoice and will be subject to a fifteen percent (15%) restocking fee, unless otherwise prohibited by law. If you are an organization that bought the products under a written agreement with Dell, the agreement may contain different terms for the return of products than specified by this policy.

To return products, you must call Dell Customer Service at 1-800-847-4096 to receive a Credit Return Authorization Number. To expedite the process of your refund or credit, Dell expects you to return the products to Dell in their original packaging within 5 days of the date that Dell issues the Credit Return Authorization Number. You must also prepay shipping charges and insure the shipment or accept the risk of loss or damage during shipment. You may return software for a refund or credit only if the sealed package containing the floppy disk(s) or CD(s) is unopened. Returned products must be in as-new condition, and all of the manuals, floppy disk(s), CD(s), power cables, and other items included with a product must be returned with it. For customers who want to return, for refund or credit only, either application or operating system software that has been installed by Dell, the whole system must be returned, along with any media and documentation that may have been included in the original shipment.

The "Total Satisfaction" Return Policy does not apply to Dell | EMC storage products. It also does not apply to products purchased through Dell's Software and Peripherals division. For those products, please instead refer to Dell's Software and Peripheral's then-current return policy (see the following section, "Dell Software and Peripherals [Canada Only]").

Dell Software and Peripherals (Canada Only)

Third-Party Software and Peripherals Products

Similar to other resellers of software and peripherals, Dell does not warrant third-party products. Third-party software and peripheral products are covered by the warranties provided by the original manufacturer or publisher only. Third-party manufacturer warranties vary from product to product. Consult your product documentation for specific warranty information. More information may also be available from the manufacturer or publisher.

While Dell offers a wide selection of software and peripheral products, we do not specifically test or guarantee that all of the products we offer work with any or all of the various models of Dell computers, nor do we test or guarantee all of the products we sell on the hundreds of different brands of computers available today. If you have questions about compatibility, we recommend and encourage you to contact the third-party software and peripheral product manufacturer or publisher directly.

Dell-Branded Peripheral Products

Dell does provide a limited warranty for new Dell-branded peripheral products (products for which Dell is listed as the manufacturer) such as monitors, batteries, memory, docking stations, and projectors. To determine which limited warranty applies to the product you purchased, see the Dell packing slip or invoice and/or the product documentation that accompanied your product. Descriptions of Dell's limited warranties are described in preceding sections.

Return Policy

If you are an end-user customer who bought Dell Software and Peripherals products directly from a Dell company, you may return Dell Software and Peripherals products that are in as-new condition to Dell up to 30 days from the date on the packing slip or invoice for a refund of the product purchase price if already paid. This refund will not include any shipping and handling charges shown on your packing slip or invoice; you are responsible for those.

To return products, you must call Dell Customer Service at 1-800-387-5759 to receive a Credit Return Authorization Number. You must ship the Dell Software and Peripherals products back to Dell in their original manufacturer's packaging (which must be in as-new condition), prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk of loss or damage during shipment.

To qualify for refund or replacement, returned products must be in as-new condition, software products must be unopened, and all of the manuals, floppy disk(s), CD(s), power cables, and other items included with a product must be returned with it.

1-Year End-User Manufacturer Guarantee (Latin America and the Caribbean Only)

Guarantee

Dell Computer Corporation ("Dell") warrants to the end user in accordance with the following provisions that its branded hardware products, purchased by the end user from a Dell company or an authorized Dell distributor in Latin America or the Caribbean, will be free from defects in materials, workmanship, and design affecting normal use, for a period of 1 year from the original purchase date. Products for which proper claims are made will, at Dell's option, be repaired or replaced at Dell's expense. Dell owns all parts removed from repaired products. Dell uses new and reconditioned parts made by various manufacturers in performing repairs and building replacement products.

Exclusions

This Guarantee does not apply to defects resulting from: improper or inadequate installation, use, or maintenance; actions or modifications by unauthorized third parties or the end user; accidental or willful damage; or normal wear and tear.

Making a Claim

Claims must be made in Latin America or the Caribbean by contacting the Dell point of sale within the guarantee period. The end user must always supply proof of purchase, indicating name and address of the seller, date of purchase, model and serial number, name and address of the customer, and details of symptoms and configuration at the time of malfunction, including peripherals and software used. Otherwise, Dell may refuse the guarantee claim. Upon diagnosis of a warranted defect, Dell will make arrangements

and pay for ground freight and insurance to and from Dell's repair/replacement center. The end user must ensure that the defective product is available for collection properly packed in original or equally protective packaging together with the details listed above and the return number provided to the end user by Dell.

Limitation and Statutory Rights

Dell makes no other warranty, guarantee or like statement other than as explicitly stated above, and this Guarantee is given in place of all other guarantees whatsoever, to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the absence of applicable legislation, this Guarantee will be the end user's sole and exclusive remedy against Dell or any of its affiliates, and neither Dell nor any of its affiliates shall be liable for loss of profit or contracts, or any other indirect or consequential loss arising from negligence, breach of contract, or howsoever. This Guarantee does not impair or affect mandatory statutory rights of the end user against and/or any rights resulting from other contracts concluded by the end user with Dell and/or any other seller.
