8.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
9.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding- type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused
for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. Monitors are designed to comply with the recommended
safety standards for tilt and stability.
Do not apply excessive pulling force to the front, or top, of

recommended by the manufacturer.
17. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
18. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section

provides information with respect to proper grounding for the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to
call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the
NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to
the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable
entry as practical.
Do not place any objects on the top of the monitor which
may fall or cause a child to climb to retrieve the objects.
Disposal of this product may require specific instructions
