SAFETY INSTRUCTION 1 Setting up location · In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time. We recommend you to ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract the formation of the smell. During the development of this product, we have made sure that the applicable limits are clearly fallen below. · Keep your LCD display away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight. Failure to observe these instructions can lead to malfunctions or damage to the LCD display. · Do not operate your device in the open air, because external influences, such as rain, snow, etc. could damage the device. · Do not place any containers filled with liquid (vases or similar containers) on the device. The container could tip over and liquid can impair electrical safety. · Do not place any open sources of fire (candles or similar objects) on the device. · Pay attention to sufficiently large clearances in the wall cupboard. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm around the device for sufficient ventilation. · Place and operate all units on a stable, level and vibration-free surface in order to avoid the LCD display from falling. · Avoid the effects of dazzling, reflections and a too distinct contrast between light and darkness, in order to protect your eyes. · Take regulator breaks when working with your LCD monitor in order to avoid tension and fatigue. · The optimum viewing distance is 5 times the screen diagonal. Intended Environment · The LCD monitor can be operated at an ambient temperatures of between +41°F and +95°F (5° C to 35° C) and at a relative humidity of between 20% and 85% (without condensation). · When switched off, the monitor can be stored at between -4°F and +140°F (-20° C - +60° C). · After transporting your LCD monitor please wait until it has assumed the ambient temperature before connecting and switching it on. Extremely high variations in the temperature or humidity may result in condensation forming on the inside of the LCD monitor which could cause an electrical short-circuit.
