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 27.)

• 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.
