CAUTION! Do not allow water or any other liquid to be spilled onto the
monitor. Unplug the AC power cord from the monitor before
cleaning or disinfecting.
CAUTION! Where the equipment has accidentally gotten wet, it should be
wiped dry externally and allowed to dry thoroughly before use.
NOTE! Use only a soft cotton cloth, or a cloth specifically designed for
cleaning LCD displays, to clean the monitor's screen. Do not clean
the screen with tissues, paper towels, or any other paper-based

wipe the surfaces with a soft, water-moistened cloth.
