- ❗ WARNING: Indicates the potential for bodily harm and tells you how to avoid the problem. Some warnings may appear in alternate formats and may be unaccompanied by an icon. In such cases, the specific presentation of the warning is mandated by regulatory authority.
Power
⚠️ CAUTION: 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.
⚠️ CAUTION: 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.
⚠️ CAUTION: 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.
⚠️ CAUTION: Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
⚠️ CAUTION: To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V ~, Min. 5A.
⚠️ CAUTION: The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Installation
⚠️ CAUTION: Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to this product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by 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 with care.
⚠️ CAUTION: Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could damage circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.
⚠️ CAUTION: Do not place the front of the product on the floor.
⚠️ CAUTION: Leave some space around the monitor as shown below. Otherwise, air-circulation may be inadequate hence overheating may cause a fire or damage to the monitor.
See below the recommended ventilation areas around the monitor when the monitor is installed on the wall or with the stand:

Cleaning
⚠️ CAUTION: Clean the cabinet regularly with cloth. You can use soft-detergent to wipe out the stain, instead of strong-detergent which will cauterize the product cabinet.
⚠️ CAUTION: When cleaning, make sure no detergent is leaked into the product. The cleaning cloth should not be too rough as it will scratch the screen surface.
⚠️ CAUTION: Please disconnect the power cord before cleaning the product.
Three images illustrate cleaning steps:
- A hand spraying a cleaning solution (labeled H2O) onto a cloth, with icons indicating no direct spraying on the monitor and no harsh chemicals.
- A monitor with a red 'X' symbol over the screen, indicating not to spray directly on the screen.

⚠️ CAUTION: Make sure that the ventilating openings are not blocked by a table or curtain.
⚠️ CAUTION: Do not engage the LCD monitor in severe vibration or high impact conditions during operation.
⚠️ CAUTION: Do not knock or drop the monitor during operation or transportation.
