WORDING FOR CLASS I EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTION BOOKS AND LABELS
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a molded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable
never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of
the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fi tted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to
reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the mains plugs, this must be carried out by a competent person, preferably a qualifi ed electrician.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having fi rst removed the fuse, to avoid a possible
shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code :
Green and Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter E or by the earth symbol
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or

ABOUT LCD PANEL
Common Characteristics of the LCD Panel
The following are common phenomena occurring when operating the LCD Panel, due to its structural characteristics.
Please note that these are not malfunctions.
Defective Spots on Panel
The LCD panel is manufactured with high-precision technology. However, there might be some spots that are not
illuminated, or are brighter than others, or are in different colours, etc.
Surface on Panel
The LCD panel displays images by the fl uorescent lamps internally. This can raise the temperature of the display
surface.
In addition, do not allow any heavy impact to affect the surface of the panel because the LCD panel is made using
fi ne processing glass.
Use Under Low Temperature Conditions
Because of the structural characteristics of the LCD panel, the response speed of the LCD panel becomes slower
when the ambient temperature around the monitor becomes too low. In some cases, this may result in a residual
image.
The residual image will disappear of its own accord as the temperature rises again to a normal level.
