er monitor:
Unplug the monitor, if you are not going to use it for an extensive peri\
od of time.
l   
Unplug the monitor, if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. \

en following the instructions 
in this manual.l   
The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.l   
Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any othe\
r heat source.l   
Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooli\
ng of the monitor’s electronics.l   
Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.l   
Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain \
or excessive moisture.l   
When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are ea\
sily accessible.l   
If turning off the monitor by detaching power cable or DC power cord, wa\
