near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet 
basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
•  Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an

hardware recommended by the manufacturer.
•  Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.
•  Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover 
or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten 
the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they 
can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the 
product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the 
manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
•  The Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can 
break when the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be 
injured by broken glass pieces in case the panel breaks.

  Also, if the screen is viewed from an acute angle there may be uneven colors or brightness. 
  Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.
Precautions when transporting the monitor
•  Be sure to always carry the monitor by two people holding it with two 
hands — one hand on each side of the monitor.
•  Do not hold onto the attached optional speakers when transporting the 
monitor.
