•Prior to operation, check the unit and power cord for physical
damage. Do not use if physical damage has occurred.
•Before plugging the unit into a power outlet, ensure that the
outlet provides the same type and level of power required by the
device.
•Unplug this device from the power source when not in use.
•Take care to prevent damage to the power cord. Do not allow it
to become crimped, pinched, walked on, or become tangled with
other cords. Ensure that the power cord does not present a
tripping hazard.
•Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always
grasp the connector head or adapter body.
•Clean using a soft, dry cloth only. Do not use chemical cleaners,
solvents, or detergents. For stubborn deposits, moisten the cloth
with warm water.
•This monitor has no user serviceable parts. Do not open the case
or otherwise attempt to modify this monitor.
•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.
