RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol, within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
WARNING: TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE. NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, SHALL BE
PLACED ON THE APPARATUS.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure
your personal safety. But IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE. In order

This monitor has three external control terminals.
• MAKE/TRIGGER terminal (RJ-45): The following external control systems are available.
(1) MAKE (make contact) system: Controls the monitor by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to
the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it (☞ below).
(2) TRIGGER (trigger) system: Controls the monitor by sending the pulse signal instantaneously to the
corresponding pin terminal (☞ below).
• RS-232C terminal (D-sub 9-pin): Controls the monitor with the RS-232C system. (☞ “Using the serial
communication” on page 15)
• RS-485 terminals (RJ-45): Controls the monitor with the RS-485 system. (☞ “Using the serial communication”

Operation
1 Set “PARALLEL TYPE” of “REMOTE SETTING” to “MAKE” or “TRIGGER” in the SET-UP MENU.
2 Short-circuit the 7th pin terminal (ENABLE) to the 8th pin terminal (GND) so that the monitor can be controlled
by the external control.
3 When selecting “MAKE” system: Operate each function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to
the 8th pin terminal (GND) or opening it.
When selecting “TRIGGER” system: Operate each function by pulse control, that is short-circuiting the
corresponding pin terminal to the 8th pin terminal (GND) for about 1 second and opening it.
• When changing the input with MAKE system, only one pin terminal must be short-circuited. (Other pin terminals
must be opened.)
• When selecting the “TRIGGER” system, you can operate only one function at a time. Operate the functions one
by one.
7 Using the serial communication

The following are not malfunctions.
• When a still image is displayed for a long time, it may remain indistinctly on the screen after the picture has
changed. Though the remaining picture will disappear after a while, there may be a case that it remains
for a long period depending on the length of time the still image was displayed for. This is due to the
characteristics of the LCD display and is not a malfunction.
• The red spots, blue spots and green spots on the panel surface are a normal characteristic of LCD displays,
and not a problem. The LCD display is built with very high precision technology; however, be aware that a
few pixels may be missing or constantly lit.
• The following symptoms are problems only when pictures or sounds are not played back normally.
– A slight electric shock occurs when you touch the monitor.
– The top and/or rear panel of the monitor becomes hot.
– The monitor emits a cracking noise.
– The monitor emits a mechanical noise.
7 Self-check program
This monitor has a self-check function, which allows it to detect malfunctions and alert you. This makes
troubleshooting easier. Whenever a problem occurs, one or some of the INPUT SELECT lamps will flash. If this
happens, follow the steps below and contact your dealer to resolve the problem.
When the screen goes blank, and one or some of the INPUT SELECT lamps (DVI/COMPO. /VIDEO) on the
front control panel start flashing...
1 Check which lamps are flashing.
2 Turn off the POWER switch or DC switch on the rear panel.
3 When AC power supply is used, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
When DC 12 V power supply is used, detach the battery or disconnect the plug
from the DC IN 12V terminal.
4 Contact your dealer with the information about which lamps are flashing.
• If you turn on the monitor soon after turning it off (or after a short-term power failure), the INPUT SELECT
lamps may flash and no image may be displayed.
When this happens, turn off power and wait at least 10 seconds before turning on the monitor again. If the
INPUT SELECT lamps do not flash, you can use the monitor as normal.
