Power 
The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure 
of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.  
 
 The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug 
will fit only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire 
plug, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat 
the safety purpose of the grounded plug. 
 
 Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long periods of time. This will protect 
the monitor from damage due to power surges.  
 
 Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.  
 
 To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate 
configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V AC, Min. 5A  
 
 The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.  
 
 For use only with the attached power adapter (Output 12Vdc) which have UL,CSA listed license (Only for 
monitors with power adapter).

the manufacturer or sold with this product. Follow the manufacturer‟s instructions when installing the product and 
use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer. A product and cart combination should be moved

If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit 
instructions.

as it will scratch the screen surface.
