Precautions
Warning on power connections
· Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord,
be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.

Do not install or leave the monitor:
· In places subject to extreme temperatures, for example near a
radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the
monitor to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile
parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could cause
deformations of the casing or malfunctions.
· In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.
· Near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field,
such as a TV or various other household appliances.
· In places subject to inordinate amounts of dust, dirt, or sand, for
example near an open window or an outdoor exit. If setting up
temporarily in an outdoor environment, be sure to take
adequate precautions against airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise
irreparable malfunctions could occur.
