Operating Precautions
Screen
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 screen with a soft
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.
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.
Inserting the batteries
Use two AAA dry cell batteries.
Insert the batteries from the ⊖ end, making sure the ⊕ and ⊖
polarities are correct.
• Follow the warnings printed on the batteries.
• Battery life is about six months to one year, depending on how
much you use the remote control.
• The batteries we supply are only for setting up and testing your
monitor, please replace them as soon as you need to.
• If the remote control does not work properly, replace the batteries.
• Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such, as direct
sunshine, fire or the like.
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.

Precautions
• When installing the monitor on the wall, consult your dealer.
• Route the power cord and connection cables along the floor corners to avoid walking on
them.
• For good heat dissipation, try to leave the following distance of space (minimum) around
the monitor (see diagram below).
• When installing the monitor near the ceiling or similar location, the remote control may not
work correctly because of possible effects, such as reflections, from the surroundings. If
this happens, move the monitor where it is free from these effects.
• The ambient temperature of the installation place should be within the range of 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F)(slightly variable depending on the ambient conditions of the installation
place).
• 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.)
