Safety and Maintenance Guidelines 
 
Important Safety Information 
The power cord is designed for use with your monitor. To use a different cord, use only a power source and 
connection compatible with this monitor. For information on  the correct power cord set to use with your monitor, 
see 
Power Cord Set Requirements. 
 
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable 
the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. Connect 
the equipment to a grounded (earthed) power outlet. 
For your safety, be sure that the grounded power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily 
accessible to the operator and located as close to the equipment as possible. To disconnect 
power from the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by grasping the plug 
firmly. Never pull on the cord. 
Before connecting cables, disconnect power from the monitor by unplugging the power cord 
from the electrical outlet. 
Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one can accidentally 
step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a co rd or cable. When unplugging from the electrical 
outlet, grasp the cord by its plug. 
  
 
CAUTION: To protect your monitor, as well as your computer, connect all power cords for your 
computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, or scanner) to a surge 
protection device such as a power strip with surge protection or uninterruptible power 
supply (UPS). 
Not all power strips provide surge protection; th e power strips must be specifically labeled as 
having this ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a damage replacement polic
y 
so you can replace your equipment if surge protection fails. 
 
Safety Precautions 
 
CAUTION: Avoid applying pressure to the LCD screen; doing so can cause damage. 
 
Use only a power source and connection compatible with  this monitor, as indicated on the label/back plate of 
the monitor. 
Be sure the total ampere rating of th e products connected to the outlet does  not exceed the current rating of the 
electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the prod ucts connected to the cord does not exceed the rating 
of the cord. Look on the power label to determine  the ampere rating (Amps or A) for each device.

Install your monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by grasping the plug 
firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never  disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord. 
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.
