Precautions 
 WARNING: 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 precautions when connecting and using your computer monitor:  
PRECAUTIONS 
• Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in 
a wet basement.  
• Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a person and cause 
serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the 
monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow 
the kit instructions.  
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation 
of the monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place 
the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or over a radiator or heat 
register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.  
• 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.  
• Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric 
shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.  
• Do not attempt to service the monitor yourself; opening or removing covers can expose you to dangerous 
voltages and other hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
• 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).  
• Please make sure to clean the cabinet regularly with the provided cloth , you can use soft-cleanser to clean the 
stain , instead of severe spray cleanser which will cauterize the monitor cabinet.  
• Dont leak liquid into monitor which will result in the damage of chassis or component. Please unplug before 
cleaning ,and do not scratch the screen with hard things.
