PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Place the unit at the strong and stable place.

A unit placed on an inadequate surface may fall and result in injury or equipment damage.
If the unit falls, disconnect the power immediately and ask your dealer for advice. Do not
continue using a damaged unit. Using a damaged unit may result in fire or electric shock.

Set the unit in an appropriate location.

Not doing so may result in fire, electric shock, or equipment damage.

• Do not place outdoors.

• Do not place in the transportation system (ship, aircraft, trains, automobiles, etc.)

• Do not place in a dusty or humid environment.

• Do not place in a location where the steam comes directly on the screen.

• Do not place near heat generating devices or a humidifier.

To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic packing bags away from
babies and children.

Use the enclosed power cord and connect to the standard power outlet of your
country.

Be sure to remain within the rated voltage of the power cord.
Not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

To disconnect the power cord, grasp the plug firmly and pull.

Tugging on the cord may damage and result in fire or electric shock.

The equipment must be connected to a grounded main outlet.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

Use the correct voltage.

• The unit is designed for use with a specific voltage only. Connection to another voltage
than specified in this User’s Manual may cause fire, electric shock, or equipment damage.

• Do not overload your power circuit, as this may result in fire or electric shock.

WARNING

Handle the power cord with care.

• Do not place the cord underneath the unit or other heavy objects.

• Do not pull on or tie the cord.

If the power cord becomes damaged, stop using it. Use of a damaged cord may result in fire
or electric shock.

Never touch the plug and power cord if it begins to thunder.

Touching them may result in electric shock.

When attaching an arm stand, please refer to the user’s manual of the arm
stand and install the unit securely.

Not doing so may cause the unit to become unattached, which may result in injury or
equipment damage. When the unit is dropped, please ask your dealer for advice. Do not
continue using a damaged unit. Using a damaged unit may result in fire or electric shock.
When reattaching the tilt stand, please use the same screws and tighten them securely.

Do not touch a damaged LCD panel directly with bare hands.

The liquid crystal that may leak from the panel is poisonous if it enters the eyes or mouth.
If any part of the skin or body comes in direct contact with the panel, please wash thoroughly.
If some physical symptoms result, please consult your doctor.

Lamps contain mercury, dispose according to local, state or federal laws.

PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION

Handle with care when carrying the unit.

Disconnect the power cord and cables when moving the unit. Moving the unit with the cord
attached is dangerous. It may result in injury.

When handling the unit, grip the bottom of the unit firmly with both hands
ensuring the panel faces outward before lifting.

Dropping the unit may result in injury or equipment damage.

Do not block the ventilation slots on the cabinet.

• Do not place any objects on the ventilation slots.

• Do not install the unit in a closed space.

• Do not use the unit laid down or upside down.

Blocking the ventilation slots prevents proper airflow and may result in fire, electric shock, or
equipment damage.

Do not touch the plug with wet hands.

Doing so may result in electrical shock.

Use an easily accessible power outlet.

This will ensure that you can disconnect the power quickly in case of a problem.

Do not set the sound volume too high when using a headphone.

Doing so may damage your hearing ability.

Periodically clean the area around the plug.

Dust, water, or oil on the plug may result in fire.

Unplug the unit before cleaning it.

Cleaning the unit while it is plugged into a power outlet may result in electric shock.

If you plan to leave the unit unused for an extended period, disconnect the
power cord from the wall socket after turning off the power switch for the
safety and the power conservation.

LCD Panel

In order to suppress the luminosity change by long-term use and to maintain the stable luminosity, use of a monitor in
lower brightness is recommended.

The LCD panel is manufactured using high-precision technology. However, note that the appearance of any missing
pixels or lit pixels does not indicate damage to the LCD monitor.
Percentage of effective pixels: 99.9994% or higher.

The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed life span. When the screen becomes dark or begins to flicker, please contact
your dealer.

Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in damage to the screen. There will be prints
left on the screen if the pressed image is dark or black. If pressure is repeatedly applied to the screen, it may deteriorate
or damage your LCD panel. Leave the screen white to decrease the prints.

Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as a pencil or pen as this may result in damage to the
panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the LCD panel.

When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room temperature goes up quickly, dew condensation
may occur inside and outside the monitor. In that case, do not turn the monitor on and wait until dew condensation
disappears, otherwise it may cause damage to the monitor.

To use the monitor comfortably

An excessively dark or bright screen may affect your eyes. Adjust the brightness of the monitor according to the
environmental conditions.

Staring at the monitor for a long time tires your eyes. Take a 10-minute rest every hour.
