light or heat source, but near a

grounded AC outlet.

•Choose a well-ventilated location

with an adequate amount of space.

Do not block the vents on the back

of the display.

stand. Use both hands to lift or

move the display. Avoid touching

the screen.

•Allow the display unit to reach room

temperature before you power it on.

in the environment, as this may cause

condensation in the display.

disassemble the display. There are

no user-serviceable parts inside.

•When troubleshooting, check that all

cables are properly connected and

that your computer is turned on or

not in power-saving mode.

ordinance for proper disposal or

recycling of electronic components.

Hand injury may result from misuse of the desk stand when

lowering the display height. Avoid holding the bottom area
