If a monitor is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, 

particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• Using fixing devices like wall mount brackets recommended by the manufacturer.

• Only using furniture that can safely support the monitor.

• Ensuring the monitor is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

•  Not placing the monitor on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the 

monitor to a suitable support.

• Not standing the monitors on cloth or other materials placed between the monitor and supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the monitor or its controls. 

- Don’t allow children to climb on or play with the monitor.

- Don’t place the monitor on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

-  Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” monitor. Care 

should be taken to place or install the monitor where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

-  Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the monitor so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by 

curious children.

-  The TFT color LCD panel used in this monitor is made with 

the application of high precision technology. However, there 

may be minute points on the screen where pixels never light 

or are permanently lit. Also, if the screen is viewed from 

an acute angle there may be uneven colors or brightness. 

Please note that these are not malfunctions but common 

phenomena of LCDs and will not affect the performance of 

the monitor.

-  Do not display the same image for an extended time. 

Displaying the same image for an extended time may cause 

a residual image. In particular, an image with strong contrast 

may cause a residual image after several hours.

water or other fluids. Ensure that no objects such as paper 

clips or pins enter the monitor as this could lead to fire or 

electric shock.

unsafe places. Do not allow the monitor to receive strong 

shocks or to strongly vibrate. Causing the monitor to fall or 

topple over may damage it.

of 32°F (0°C) to 104°F (40°C), install a fan or take other 
measures to keep the ambient temperature within the 
required range.
