information on the correct power cord set for this device.
Important Safety Information
Å
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable the
power cord grounding feature. This equipment is designed to be connected to a grounded
(earthed) power outlet that is easily accessible to the operator. The grounding plug is an important
safety feature.
Å
WARNING: For your safety, be sure that the power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily
accessible and located as close to the equipment as possible. When you need to disconnect the
power to the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by grasping the plug firmly.
Never pull on the cord.
Ä
CAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your computer, connect all power cords
for your computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, scanner) to some form of
surge protection device such as a power strip or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Not all
power strips provide surge protection; the power strips must be specifically labeled as having this
ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement Policy so you can
replace your equipment if surge protection fails.
