CAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your
computer, connect all power cords for your computer and its
peripheral devices (monitor, printer, scanner, etc.) to some form of
surge protection device such as a power strip or UPS
(Uninterruptible Power Supply). Not all power strips provide surge
protection; they must be specifically labeled as having this ability.
Look for manufacturers that have a Damage Replacement Policy to
replace your equipment if their surge protection fails.
Retain and follow all product safety and operating instructions. Observe
all warnings on the product and in the operating instructions.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electric shock, fire, and damage
to the equipment, observe the following precautions:
