Safety Instructions: Dell™ E771p Color Monitor User's Guide

WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.

Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:

To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location:
- 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries/Area such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
- 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
Also be sure your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.
Never insert anything metallic into the monitor openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the monitor's case.
Never use your monitor if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and keep the cord away from where people could trip over it.
Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the monitor from an electric socket.
Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
Put your monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust. Avoid places like damp basement or dusty hallways.
Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, next to swimming pools, etc.). If the monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately. You can clean the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, but be sure to unplug the monitor first.
Place the monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or sharply hit.
Locate your monitor near an easily accessible AC outlet.
If your monitor does not operate normally - in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it - unplug it immediately and contact an authorized dealer or service center.
Do not attempt to remove the back cover, as you will be exposed to a shock hazard. The back cover should only be removed by qualified service personnel.
High temperatures can cause problems. Don't use your monitor in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat.
Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.
Unplug your monitor from the AC outlet before any service.
