CareandSafety

Before you lift or reposition your display, you may need to disconnect the cables and
power cord. Use correct lifting techniques when positioning the display. When lifting or
carrying the display, hold it by the edges. Don’t lift the display by the stand or the cord.

To clean the screen on your display:

1

Disconnect the power cord.

2

Use a soft, dry cloth, to wipe dust from the screen.

WARNING: 

Don’t clean the screen with a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a

cleaner intended for use with a screen or display. Never spray cleaner directly on the
screen. It may drip inside the display and cause damage.

Don’t operate your display in areas with significant amounts of airborne dust, or smoke
from cigarettes, cigars, ashtrays, stoves, or fireplaces, or near an ultrasonic humidifier
using unfiltered tap water. Tiny airborne particles produced by smoking, cooking,
burning, or using an ultrasonic humidifier with unfiltered water may, in rare instances,
enter the ventilation openings of your display and, under certain conditions, result in a
slight haze on the inside surface of the glass panel that covers the display.

Follow these safety guidelines for using your display:

Â

The only way to completely disconnect power is to unplug the power cord. Be sure to
pull the plug, not the cord.

Â

Disconnect power immediately if the power cord is frayed or damaged, if you spill
something on the display, or if the display falls or is damaged in some other way.

WARNING: 

Use only the power cord that came with your display. The power cord has

a three-wire grounding plug (a plug that has a third grounding pin) that fits only a
grounded AC outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet because the
outlet is not grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a
properly grounded outlet.

WARNING: 

Your display is a high-voltage component and should not be opened for

any reason, even when it’s unplugged. If your display needs service, see “Learning
More, Service, and Support” on page 18.
