Preparations

Checking the Accessories

The following accessories are included with the Monitor. Check for them. If any item is missing, please contact the dealer where you purchased the Monitor.

• Remote control (RM-C575) x 1

• Remote control cable x 1

• Power cord (approx. 2.5 m) x 3 (Use the one matching the wall outlet.)

• Batteries (AA/R6P) x 2

Installing the Batteries

Put the batteries in the remote control as follows. If the remote control has become erratic in operation, change the batteries.

Remove the back cover.

While pushing the release lever on the cover, remove the cover in the direction of the arrow.

Place the batteries.

Put the two supplied batteries (AA/R6P), noting the ª and · markings, as shown.

Replace the back cover as illustrated.

Make sure the release lever on the cover is locked in place correctly.

Precautions for using batteries

If batteries are used improperly, the liquid could leak out, causing a fire, injury, etc. or dirtying the vicinity. Take notice of the following:

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not mix different types of battery as different types may have different characteristics.

• Place the batteries according to the ª and · markings indicated on the battery compartment.

• When installing the batteries, insert the · end first to avoid a short circuit.

• Use only the specified batteries.

• When you are not using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.

• When the batteries have reached the end of their life, replace them with new ones immediately. Otherwise, the liquid may leak out, or malfunction may be caused by the leaked liquid. If the leaked liquid contacts your skin, wipe off the liquid with a soft cloth. If the affected skin is left as is, you may get a rough skin.

• Do not throw the batteries into fire or try recharging them.

• The service life of batteries is six months to one year for normal use. The supplied batteries are only for checking the operation and their life may be shorter. When the remote control operation becomes erratic, replace with new batteries.

Installation

Precautions

• When mounting the Monitor vertically, it is necessary to adjust the cooling fan speed to provide better heat

dissipation. Do not forget to perform this adjustment. (See page 23.)

• When installing the Monitor, be sure to use a dedicated Stand Unit, Wall Mounting Unit, or Monitor Hanger Unit, depending

on a particular case. Ask your dealer for installation.

• When installing the Monitor, refer also to the user manual for each option to use. Do not tilt the Monitor rightward, leftward,

or backward.

• Route the power cord and connection cables along wall or floor corners to avoid walking on them.

• For good heat dissipation, try to leave the following distances of space (minimum) around the Monitor.

• The ambient temperature of the installation place should be within the range of 0˚C to 40˚C.

• When installing the Monitor in a place, such as near the ceiling, the remote control may not work correctly because of possible

effects from the surroundings. If this happens, use the remote control as a wired remote control or move the Monitor where it is free from these effects.

Notes:

• Do not allow the same image (pattern) to be continuously displayed on the screen for a long time; otherwise, the area on the

screen corresponding to the image may vary in brightness, leaving an afterimage on the screen. To reduce the afterimage, you can use the White Back function (see page 22).

• The Monitor is manufactured using very high-precision technology, allowing for more than 99.99% active pixels, however, be

aware that only a slight number of pixels may be deficient or lit at all times.

• Do not install the Monitor in such a way that the Monitor and other AV equipment affect each other adversely. (For example,

if a disturbed image or noise due to electromagnetic interference occurs, or if the infrared remote control malfunctions, change the installation place.)

Connections

Precautions

• Before making connections, turn off all the equipment.

• Plugs should be firmly inserted; poor connection could cause noise.

• To unplug a cord, be sure to grasp its plug and pull it out.

• Connect the power cord after having finished all other connections.

• Refer also to the user manual of each piece of equipment.

Available Signals

Video signals

The following signals can be input to this Monitor:

• VIDEO A and VIDEO B terminals accept — PAL, NTSC, and SECAM signals.

• COMPONENT terminals accept — 480i, 576i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i signals.

(For GD-V4200PCE and GD-V4200PCE-G, to input the above signals, you need to install the video interface kit (IF-C420P1W), which is separately purchased.)

Computer signals (Preset and user-defined video modes)

This Monitor has 13 preset video mode for the most popular industrial standard (marked with ¶ in the table below), and the signals of the following image resolutions can be input to the RGB input terminals. For less common video modes, this Monitor can also display a picture, and memorize the video modes as user-defined video modes (up to five modes). When a signal other than any of the preset modes is input, it will automatically be stored as a user-defined video mode, and when a sixth user-defined video signal is input, the first mode will be erased from memory.

Notes:

• When you are viewing XGA, setting the refresh rate (vertical scan frequency) of your personal computer to 60 Hz will enhance

the video image.

• When a signal other than listed above is input, a part of the screen may become void or an unnecessary picture may appear.

• Signals, though they are within the acceptable range of frequencies, may not be displayed normally, depending on the signal

type.

• Depending on the connected equipment, the Monitor may not be compatible with composite sync (Cs) or G on sync signals.

• When a preset mode signal is input, the vertical frequency displayed on the screen will have an “*” shown at its right top

position.

• When No. 7 to No. 11 signals are input, thin lines may happen to be hard to view on the screen, due to the internal digital

processing.
