NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Notice (U.S.A. only)

This product utilizes both a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) and other components that contain lead. Disposal of these materials may be regulated in your community due to environmental considerations.

䡵 PRECAUTIONS

● Use only the power source specified on the unit.

(120 V/220-240 V AC, 50 Hz/60 Hz)

● Keep flammable material, water, and metal objects away from the unit – especially the interior of the unit.

● This unit incorporates high voltage circuitry. For your own safety and that of your equipment, do not attempt to modify or disassemble this monitor. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

SCREEN BURN

● It is not recommended to keep a certain still image displayed on screen for a long time as well as displaying extremely bright images on screen. This may cause a burning (sticking) phenomenon on the screen of cathode-ray tube. This problem does not occur as far as displaying normal video playback motion images.

䡵 HANDLING

● Avoid shocks or vibrations. These may damage the unit and

cause it to malfunction.

● Do not block the ventilation slots.

● Do not expose this unit to high temperatures.

Extended exposure to direct sunlight or a heater could deform the cabinet or cause the performance of internal components to deteriorate.

● Do not place the unit near appliances generating strong electric or magnetic fields. There can generate picture noise and instability.

● Keep the monitor clean by wiping the cabinet and CRT screen with a piece of soft cloth. Do not apply thinner or benzine. These chemicals can damage the finish and erase printed letters. When the unit is excessively dirty, use a diluted neutral cleanser, then wipe away the cleanser with a dry cloth.
