Optimum viewing

• View the unit in moderate light to prevent eye strain. It is recommended to watch the unit from a distance 3-7 times that of the screen height.

LCD screen

• The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision technology. However, some tiny black points and / or bright points (red, blue or green in colour) may constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are generated in the manufacturing process and are normal.

Screen Burn

• A characteristic of Plasma and Monitor Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time may cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is called screen burn. Most pictures shown on the unit will be constantly moving and fill the screen.
• To prevent screen burn if viewing any of the above for long periods of time, reduce contrast and brightness when viewing. Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Standby

• The button on the unit does not switch off the unit completely. The unit will continue to draw electricity from the mains supply while in standby.

• Never let anyone especially children push anything into the holes, slots or any other openings in the case – this could result in a fatal electric shock.

Earthing

• Apparatus connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the MAINS connection or through other apparatus with a connection to protective earthing – and to a monitor distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection to a monitor distribution system has therefore to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).
