g THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE GROUNDED

To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power outlet which is effectively grounded through normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must have three cores and be correctly wired to provide connection to the ground. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power outlet is grounded or that the installation is completely safe.

For your safety, if you are in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power outlet, please consult a qualified electrician.

CAUTION:

THE AC RECEPTACLE (MAINS SOCKET OUTLET) SHALL BE INSTALLED NEAR THE EQUIPMENT AND SHALL BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.

TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THIS EQUIPMENT FROM THE AC MAINS, DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD PLUG FROM THE AC RECEPTACLE.

WARNING:

•TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

•TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, KEEP THIS EQUIPMENT AWAY FROM ALL LIQUIDS. USE AND STORE ONLY IN LOCATIONS WHICH ARE NOT EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DRIPPING OR SPLASHING LIQUIDS, AND DO NOT PLACE ANY LIQUID CONTAINERS ON TOP OF THE EQUIPMENT.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1)This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions and do not make any unauthorized modifications.

CAUTION:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. •Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The user may find the booklet “Something About Interference” available from FCC local regional offices helpful.

FCC Warning:

To assure continued FCC emission limit compliance, the user must use only shielded interface cables when connecting to host computer or peripheral devices. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1)Read these instructions.

2)Keep these instructions.

3)Heed all warnings.

4)Follow all instructions.

5)Do not use this apparatus near water.

6)Clean only with dry cloth.

7)Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8)Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9)Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10)Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11)Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12)Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold

with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14)Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus

has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Precautions for Use

•The liquid crystal portion is manufactured with highly precise technology. It includes over 99.99% effective pixels, but 0.01% or less of the pixels are either missing, or have fixed lighting (red, blue, green). This is not a sign of malfunction.

•The liquid crystal protection panel is a specially manufactured component. Wiping it with a hard cloth, or rubbing it vigorously will scratch the surface.

•If a still image is displayed for a long time, it may cause temporary generation of afterimage (phosphor burn-in). (However, these afterimages disappear when ordinary moving images are displayed for a while.)

•The response speed and brightness of liquid crystal vary with ambient temperatures.

•Consult with the authorized service person for the installation.

Be sure to consult with the service person about the installation. Make sure that the wall or celling is strong enough to endure the weight of this unit including the mount fittings. If not strong enough, it may cause accidents such as falling off of the unit and injury.

•Do not install the unit in a place exposed to the direct sunlight. It may otherwise deteriorate the cabinet or damage the liquid crystal screen.

Outline

The BT-LH1700W liquid crystal monitor was designed especially for broadcasting service and business use. It is equipped with a high performance 17.1-inch wide liquid crystal display panel.

g High performance liquid crystal panel

This monitor achieves outstanding color reproduction, a wide viewing angle, and high-speed response.

g Immediate image output of input signals

The time-lag caused by IP field unit conversion*1 has been eliminated, and the delay from input until image output has been suppressed to the absolute minimum.

*1 Conversion from interlace to progressive scanning.

gMulti-format image compatability

•This monitor is equipped with SDI (HD/SD compatible), VIDEO, Y/C, YPBPR/RGB input jacks.

•It supports both NTSC and PAL TV broadcast systems.

g Screen display

You can divide the screen into two windows, and compare the windows using the same input terminal and same format. Furthermore, you can display a still image or WFM on one of the windows (Jpage 18 “SUB WINDOW”, page 19 “About the SUB WINDOW”).

g REMOTE control

Depending on the intended use of the monitor, you can select between parallel remote control (GPI) and serial remote control (RS232C) (Jpage 23 – 26).
