Care and Maintenance
This section explains how to care for and maintain your Compaq monitor
during everyday use.
Protecting the Monitor
To protect your monitor from overheating and other types of damage:
■
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as
indicated on the marking label/back plate.
■
If an extension cord or power strip is used, be sure that the cord or strip
is rated for the product and that the total ampere ratings of all products
plugged into the extension cord or power strip do not exceed 80 percent
of the extension cord or strip ampere ratings limit.
■
Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or convenience
receptacle. The overall system load must not exceed 80 percent of the
branch circuit rating. If power strips are used, the load should not exceed
80 percent of the power strip input rating.
■
Install the monitor near an outlet that you can reach easily. Disconnect
the product by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet.
Never disconnect it by pulling the cord.
■
Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
■
Slots and openings in the monitor are provided for ventilation. These
openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push objects of any
kind into these slots or openings.
■
Do not place plants on top of the monitor. Water or dirt from the plant
may fall into the vents.
■
Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
■
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the
cord.
