Safety Instructions: Dell™ W1700 LCD TV User's Guide
Caution: 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 LCD TV:"
To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure that the voltage selection
switch on the power supply for the computer 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 such as Japan, South Korea (also 220 volts (V)/60
hertz (Hz)), and Taiwan.
230 volts (V)/50 hertz (Hz) in most of Europe, the Middle East, and
the Far East.
Always be sure that your LCD TV is electrically rated to operate with the
AC power available in your location.
Note: This LCD TV does not need or have a voltage
selection switch for setting the AC voltage according to the ranges
defined in the Electrical for PC section in the Specifications page.
Never insert anything metallic into the LCD TV openings. Doing so may create
the danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the LCD TV. Only a qualified
technician should open the LCD TV case.
Never use your LCD TV if the power cable has been damaged. Do not allow
anything to rest on the power cable. Keep the power cable away from where
people could trip over it.
Be sure to grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the LCD TV
from an electric socket.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.
A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding
type plug
has two blades and third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong are
provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult
an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Openings in the LCD TV cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent
overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Avoid using
the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface, as doing so may block
the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you place the LCD
TV in a bookcase or an enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation
and air flow.
Place your LCD TV in a location with low humidity and minimum dust. Avoid
places similar to a damp basement or dusty hallway.
Do not expose the LCD TV to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, next
to swimming pools, etc.). If the LCD TV accidentally gets wet, unplug it and
contact Dell immediately. You can clean the LCD TV with a damp cloth when
necessary, being sure to unplug the LCD TV first.
Place the LCD TV on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is
made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or hit sharply. Use only with
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table capable to adequately support your
LCD TV. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/ LCD TV combination
to avoid injury from tip-over. Contact Dell for mounting accessories.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
Locate your LCD TV near an easily accessible electric outlet.
If your LCD TV does not operate normally - in particular, if there are any
unusual sounds or smells coming from it - unplug it immediately and contact
Dell.
Do not attempt to remove the back cover, as you will be exposed to an electrical
shock hazard. The back cover should only be removed by qualified service personnel.
High temperatures can cause problems. Don't use your LCD TV in direct sunlight,
and keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat.
Unplug your LCD TV from the electric outlet before any service is performed.
