Read through the following Safety Precautions before using the monitor.
• Only use the accessories that are provided with the monitor or that
which are recommended by the manufacturer.
• Keep the plastic packaging bag for the product in a place that
cannot be reached by children.
• Before connecting the monitor to the power outlet, make sure that
the voltage rating of the power cable is compatible with the power
specication in the country where you are located.
• The power cord plug must be connected to a properly wired and
grounded power outlet.
• Do not touch the plug with wet hands, otherwise easily cause
electric shock.
• Place the monitor in a stable and well-ventilated place.
• Do not place the monitor near any heat sources such as electric
radiators or direct sunlight.
• The holes or openings on the monitor are for ventilation. Do not
cover or block the ventilation holes with any objects.
• Do not use the monitor near water, drinks, or all types of liquids.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the

The following are some tips for comfortable viewing of your monitor:
• Optimal viewing distances for monitors range from approximately
510 mm to 760 mm (20 in to 30 in).
• A general guideline is to position the monitor such that the top
of the screen is at or slightly below your eye-height when you are
comfortably seated.
• Use adequate lighting for the type of work you are performing.
• Take regular and frequent breaks (at least for 10 minutes) every 30
minutes.
• Be sure to periodically look away from your monitor screen and focus
on a far object for at least 20 seconds during the breaks.
• Eye exercise can help reduce eye strain. Repeat these exercises
frequently: (1) look up and down (2) slowly roll your eye (3) move
your eyes diagonally.
