5. For added protection, unplug the monitor during an electrical
storm or when it is left unattended for an extended period of time.
This prevents shock and fire hazards due to lightning or power-
line surges.
6. Do not bring magnetic devices such as magnets or motors near
the picture tube. This could distort the color purity of the picture.
7. Sometimes you may feel static electricity when you touch the
surface of the picture tube. This is normal for any TV set or
monitor and is harmless to you and to the monitor.
Servicing the Monitor
1. Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled into the set.
• If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
• If snapping or popping from the monitor is continuous or fre-
quent during operation. It is normal for some sets to make
occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly when be-
ing turned on or off.
If the monitor has a distinct change in performance, it needs
servicing. Call a service technician if the monitor does not oper-
ate normally even though you have followed the operating in-
structions.
2. Do not attempt to service this monitor yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Dangerous high voltage is present even when the moni-
tor is unplugged. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
If you attempt to service the monitor yourself, you will void the
warranty.
