Precaution
On Safety
Operate the unit only with a power source as specified in the “Specifications”
section.
A nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc., is located on the rear panel.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and
have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord. If the power cord is
damaged, turn off the power immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with
a damaged power cord.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days
or more.
Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by grasping the plug, not by
pulling the cord.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.
On Installation
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place
the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or
air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,
mechanical vibration or shock.
Handling the Screen
The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision
technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very
small proportion of pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black), always
on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period of use,
because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such
“stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.
Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage the LCD screen.
Take care when you place the unit by a window.
Do not push or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy object on the LCD
screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a residual image may
appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When the monitor becomes
warm, the screen returns to normal.
The screen and the cabinet become warm during operation. This is not a
malfunction.
On Burn-in
For LCD panel, permanent burn-in may occur if still images are displayed in
the same position on the screen continuously, or repeatedly over extended
periods.
Images that may cause burn-in Masked images with aspect ratios other than 16:9
Color bars or images that remain static for a long time Character or message
displays that indicate settings or
the operating state On-screen displays such as center markers or area
markers
To reduce the risk of burn-in Turn off the character and marker displays
Press the MENU button to turn off the character displays. To turn off the
character or marker displays of the connected equipment, operate the connected
equipment accordingly. For details, refer to the operation manual of the
connected equipment. Turn off the power when not in use Turn off the power if
the monitor is not to be used for a prolonged period of time.
On a Long Period of Use
Due to the characteristics of LCD panel, displaying static images for extended
periods, or using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high humidity
environments may cause image smearing, burn-in, areas of which brightness is
permanently changed, lines, or a decrease in overall brightness.
In particular, continued display of an image smaller than the monitor screen,
such as in a different aspect ratio, may shorten the life of the unit. Avoid
displaying a still image for an extended period, or using the unit repeatedly
in a high temperature/high humidity environment such an airtight room, or
around the outlet of an air conditioner.
To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend reducing brightness slightly,
and to turn off the power whenever the unit is not in use.
6 Precaution
Handling and Maintenance of the Screen
The surface of the screen is specially coated to reduce image reflection. Make
sure to observe the following points as improper maintenance procedures may
impair the screen’s performance. In addition, the screen is vulnerable to
damage. Do not scratch or knock against it using a hard object. Be sure to
disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet before performing maintenance. The surface of the screen is specially
coated. Do not
attach adhesive objects, such as stickers, on it. The surface of the screen is
specially coated. Do not
touch the screen directly. Wipe the screen surface gently with the supplied
cleaning cloth or a soft dry cloth to remove dirt. Stubborn stains may be
removed with the supplied
cleaning cloth, or a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent
solution. The screen may become scratched if the cleaning cloth is dusty.
Never use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzene, thinner, acidic or
alkaline detergent, detergent with abrasives, or chemical wipe as these may
damage the screen. Use a blower to remove dust from the screen surface.
On Dew Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or if ambient
temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on the outer surface of the unit
and/ or inside of the unit. This is known as condensation. If condensation
occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation clears before
operating the unit. Operating the unit while condensation is present may
damage the unit.
Dustproofing
Use of the unit in an environment with sand or dust may cause the unit to
fail. Avoid locations with a lot of sand or dust.
Transportation of the Unit
Do not subject the unit to severe vibration or high impact conditions during
transportation. Doing so may result in deformation of the internal structure
or exterior of the unit, damage of the screen, malfunction of the internal
parts, or other damage.
Make sure not to expose the unit to strong vibration or high impact when you
transport the unit as cargo by truck, ship, or air, or as luggage with a
rolling luggage bag. Avoid transporting or carrying the unit with the display
facing up or down. There is a risk that surrounding sand or dust may enter the
unit. Also, pack the unit in the protective bag provided and place it in a box
in an environment free from sand or dust to prevent dust from entering the
unit. Failing to do so may cause the unit to fail.
Do not place this product close to medical devices
This product (including accessories) has magnet(s) which may interfere with
pacemakers, programmable shunt valves for hydrocephalus treatment, or other
medical devices. Do not place this product close to persons who use such
medical devices. Consult your doctor before using this product if you use any
such medical device.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal
container which to transport the unit.
Disposal of the Unit
Do not dispose of the unit with general waste. Do not include the monitor with
household waste.
When you dispose of the monitor, you must obey the law in the relative area or
country.
