Operating Precautions

The LCD panel and backlight have life expectancy. Due to the basic characteristics of the LCD panel, an afterimage or uneven display may occur. It is recommended that you change images occasionally, activate the power saving function, or often turn off the power to reduce the load on the LCD panel. Continuous operations of the LCD panel may accelerate the deterioration.

Caution for use of the product for many hours

In the case that you use the monitor for many hours, we recommend that you set “No Sync Action” in “Sync Function” to “Power Save” in Main Menu. This will reduce power consumption and relieve strain on the monitor. To reduce damage to the LCD panel, using the LCD Saver function is recommended.

Caution for use of the product in the high temperature

Do not use the product in places of high temperature; otherwise, parts of this product or the LCD panel may be damaged. This product is equipped with a temperature sensor to give warning if the temperature becomes too high. If the temperature exceeds the range of normal use, “Temp. Over” is displayed, and the power is turned off automatically if the temperature becomes any higher. In this case, move the product to a place of low temperature to let it cool down.

Maintenance

Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning.
LCD panel
To avoid irreparable change in appearance of the screen such as uneven color, discoloration, scratches, be careful about the following:
Do not paste or stick anything using any glues or adhesive
tapes.
Do not write anything on the screen.
Do not strike the screen with a hard object.
Avoid condensation on the screen.
Do not wipe the screen with any liquid such as water. In
addition, wiping the screen with water-diluted neutral detergent or solvent such as alcohol, thinner, or benzine may affect the anti-reflection treatment of the screen.
Do not wipe the screen forcefully.
Wipe stains off the LCD panel with a soft cloth. If the screen gets heavily stained, wipe it with a soft cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Cabinet
To avoid the deterioration or damages of the cabinet such as its paint’s peeling away, be careful about the following:
Do not wipe the cabinet using solvent such as alcohol, thinner,
or benzine.
Do not expose the cabinet to any volatile substance such as
insecticides.
Do not allow any rubber or plastic in contact for a long time.
Do not wipe the cabinet forcefully.
Wipe stains off the cabinet with a soft cloth. If the cabinet gets heavily stained, wipe it with a soft cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Ventilation openings
Use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dust around the intakes (all the openings). If a vacuum cleaner is not available, use a cloth and wipe it off. Leaving the dust around the intakes may prevent proper temperature control and cause damage to the product.

Be sure to install the monitor securely to prevent the monitor from falling over, which may cause damage to the monitor or injury.

Adjusting the stand height

You can select the stand height according to your preference—higher position or lower position. To change the stand height, change the position of the screw hole used for attaching the stand.
When shipped from factory, the stand is attached to the higher position.
Before adjusting the stand height, set the monitor angle to 0°.
CAUTION
Lay the monitor on a cloth with the LCD panel facing down to prevent the LCD panel from being damaged.
Depending on the type of external batteries, the stand cannot be attached or detached when the external battery is attached on the monitor.
When the stand is attached on the lower position, some types of external batteries cannot be attached to the monitor.

1 POWER switch
Turns AC power on or off.
You need to press button ( q on page 10) to use the monitor after turning on the POWER switch.
2 AC IN terminal
AC power input connector. Connect the provided AC power cord to an AC outlet.
Attach the provided power cord holder to prevent accidental disconnection of the AC power cord. (☞ “Attaching the power cord holder”
on page 9)
CAUTION
Do not connect the power cord until all other connections are completed.
3 DC switch
Turns the DC power on or off.
You need to press button (☞ q on page 10) on the front panel to turn on the monitor after turning on the DC switch.
The monitor consumes the battery even while the monitor is on standby. To save battery life, turn off the DC switch.
4 DC IN terminal
DC 12 V (maximum DC 17 V) power input connector.
When using DC 12 V power (maximum DC 17 V), check the DC IN terminal pin signal, and use the correct polarity. If the polarity is reversed, this could cause a fire or personal injury.
While using both the AC and DC power supply, AC power supply is preferentially used. If the AC power supply is cut off (for example, when
turning off the POWER switch), the power supply automatically switches to the DC power supply.
Use a DC power supply with the LPS (Limited Power Sources) function.
5 VIDEO/COMPONENT terminals (BNC)
IN: Input terminals for the composite (VBS) and the analog component (Y/PB/PR) signals.
Select the signal type in “Video/Component Select” corresponding to the type of the input signal. ( page 15) OUT: Output terminal for the composite (VBS) and the analog component (Y) signals.
6 AUDIO (IN) terminal (pin jack)
Input terminal for the analog audio signals.
Use this terminal for the analog audio connection of the SDI. To select the audio output, set in “Audio Setting” of the Main Menu.
When you use HDMI input for the picture and analog sound for the audio signal, input analog sound into this terminal, and set in “Audio
Setting” of the Main Menu. ( page 16)

AUDIO (MONITOR OUT) terminals (pin jack)
Output terminals for the analog audio signal.
The terminals emit the audio signals through the AUDIO (IN) terminal or EMBEDDED AUDIO signals through the E. AUDIO HD/SD SDI (IN 1
or IN 2) input terminal.
The signal is output from this terminal only when the monitor is on or in “Power Save” (power save) mode ( “No Sync Action” on page 18).
The EMBEDDED AUDIO signal...
is decoded into an analog signal, then emitted. – is emitted only when “SDI 1” or “SDI 2” is selected, and when EMBEDDED AUDIO signals come in to the E. AUDIO HD/SD SDI (IN 1 or IN 2) – terminal.
Audio signals are only output from the HDMI terminal when the signals are not protected by HDCP.
Even when the signals are protected by HDCP, sound is emitted from the speakers.
p E. AUDIO HD/SD SDI (IN 1, IN 2) terminals (BNC)
Input terminals for the HD/SD SDI signals.
The terminals accept also EMBEDDED AUDIO signals including up to 16 audio channels with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz.
q E. AUDIO HD/SD SDI (SWITCHED OUT) terminal (BNC)
Output terminal for the HD/SD SDI signals.
The SDI signals of the current input (SDI 1 or SDI 2) are re-clocked, then emitted.
When an input other than SDI 1 and SDI 2 is selected, the SDI signal of the input selected last time is emitted from this terminal.
The signals are emitted from this terminal only when the monitor is on or in “Power Save” (power save) mode

w Screw holes for external battery attachment
Attach external battery for DC power supply by using 2 screw holes. Choose the appropriate screw holes from 1, 2 or 3 according to the type of external battery. (Depending on the battery type.) Use the Anton Bauer Dionic 90 (mount: QR DXC-M3A) external battery.
CAUTION
Do not use the external battery for DC 24 V power supply.
Use only the battery specified above. If a heavy battery is used, it may fall off depending on the way the monitor is used.
Note for connections
Before making any connections, turn off all the equipment. Use a cord whose plugs correctly match the terminals on this monitor and the equipment. Plugs should be firmly inserted; poor connections could cause noise. When unplugging a cord, be sure to grasp its plug and pull it out. DO NOT connect the power cord until all connections are complete. Refer also to the user manual of each piece of equipment.
Attaching the power cord holder
