Main Unit Installation

When installing the main unit, be sure to use the speciﬁ ed mounting units in order to obtain maximum performance and maintain safety. We assume no responsibility nor liability for personal injuries or property damage caused by use of other mounting units or improper installation.

With respect to installation of the Tabletop stand, be sure to use the supplied Tabletop stand TS70T32KE for UT32MH70U/E, TS70T37KE for UT37MX70U/E or TS70T42KE for UT42MX70U/E. Please read User’s manual for the Tabletop stand very carefully before installation. *The Tabletop stand is attached to the monitor in pictures in this User ’s manual. If using Wall or Ceiling Mounting units, contact your local dealer and ask for an approved installation specialist to set up the unit. Never attempt to install it yourself. That could cause injury or damage.

ENGLISH

Please make sure that there is adequate space around the unit to prevent overheating.

10cm or more

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.

SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES (including option)

Check the supplied accessories before installation. In case of missing or damaged, please contact your dealer immediately.
