Cleaning your monitor CAUTION: Read and follow the Safety instructions before
cleaning the monitor. WARNING: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor
power cable from the electrical outlet.
For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below when unpacking,
cleaning, or handling your monitor:
