User’s Manual
General Use Precautions
Only qualified persons are authorized to carry out maintenance on this device.
• Read this Users Guide carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the monitor.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify your monitor. Never insert any metallic object into the circuitry to avoid any risk of
electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your monitor contains no user-serviceable parts. If it appears  to
be malfunctioning, have it inspected by a qualified LaCie Technical Support representative.
• Never expose your monitor to rain, or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects containing
liquids on the monitor, as they may spill onto its circuitry. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting , fire or
personal injury.
• Make sure that the computer and the monitor are electrically ground\
ed. If the devices are not grounded, there is an
increased risk of electrical shock.
• Do not expose the monitor to temperatures outside the range of 5°\
 C to 45° C (41° F to 104° F). Doing so may damage the
monitor or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your monitor near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlig\
ht (even through a
window). Inversely, placing your monitor in an environment that is too cold or humid may d\
amage the unit.
