Non-shielded speakers are too close to the moni-
tor.
❏
Strong magnetic fields are in proximity to the moni-
tor.
❏
Your monitor is positioned too close to another
monitor.

The monitor is located too close to an electric fan,
fluorescent lighting, metal shelf, or laser printer.

monitor into another outlet, preferably one on a differ-
ent circuit, or connect the monitor to a different com-
puter in a different room or location.
