exit from the product.

• For added protection of this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to
the product due to lightning and power line surges.

• Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
convenience receptacles on other equipment as this can
result in a risk of fi re or electric shock.

• Use only the accessory cord designed for this product to
prevent shock.

Do not place combustibles behind the cooling fan. For
example, cloth, paper, matches, aerosol cans or gas
lighters that present special hazards when over heated.

The product should be placed more than 30 cm (11 13/16
inches) away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, and other products (including amplifi ers)
that produce heat.

• When connecting other products such as VCR’s and
personal computers, you should turn off the power of
this product for protection against electric shock.

• Do not use attachments not recommended by the
product manufacturer as they may be hazardous.

Maintenance

• Unplug this product from the wall outlet before

Installation

Precautions

• When installing the monitor, be sure to use a dedicated stand unit or wall mounting unit, depending on your particular
case. Ask your dealer to install.

• When installing the monitor in a special way (for example, installing it diagonally), consult your dealer.

• Route the power cord and connection cables along the wall or fl oor 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).

• The ambient temperature of the installation place should be within the range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F – 104°F) (slightly variable
depending on ambient conditions for installation).

• When installing the monitor near the ceiling or similar location, the remote control may not work correctly because of
possible eff ects, such as refl ections, from the surroundings. If this happens, move the monitor where it is free from these
eff ects.

• Do not install the monitor in such a way that the monitor and other AV equipment aff ect 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.)

NOTE

• You cannot assign the same function to diff erent pin terminals.

• The TRIG. (trigger) system switches each function by short-circuiting for approx. 1 second.

Operation

1. Short-circuit the 6th pin terminal (External control) to the 8th pin terminal (GND) so that the monitor can be

controlled by the external control.

2. Set “CNT. RJ45 IN” of “REMOTE SYSTEM” to “MAKE” or “TRIG.” on the set-up menu.

3. When selecting “MAKE” (make contact) system:

Operate each function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to the 8th pin terminal (GND) or opening it.

When selecting “TRIG.” (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.

NOTE

• When controlling INP. A/B/C/D/E/F, only one terminal must be short-circuited. (Other terminals must be opened.)

• When switching PIP and PBP modes, open the mode which has been shortcircuited before shortcircuiting the mode you want to make valid.

• When selecting the “TRIG.” (trigger) system, you can operate only one function at a time. Operate the functions one by one.

Pixel defects

LCDs use collections of fi ne points (“pixels”) to display images. While there is no problem with more than 99.99% of these
pixels, please understand that a very small number of pixels may not light, or may light all the time.

Troubleshooting (cont.)

Self-diagnostic indication

When something abnormal occurs with the monitor, this function informs you of the condition of the monitor with the self­diagnostic lamps, allowing for smooth service work.

123

Self-diagnostic lamps

Power lamp

“TEMP. OVER” appears here.

If the monitor screen turns off and the self-diagnostic
lamps light or fl ash

If the self-diagnostic lamps light or fl ash in red, check the following
before consulting the dealer where you purchased the monitor.

• If the self-diagnostic lamp 1 (upper) fl ashes, lamp 2 (middle)
lights, and lamp 3 (lower) fl ashes

This may be caused by the dusty intakes on the rear. If this

happens, switch off the main power using the POWER switch
(set to “‡ (off )”), unplug the AC power cord, then clean the
intakes by referring to the instruction on page 4.

After cleaning, switch on the monitor’s main power again. If

the self-diagnostic lamps do not go off , consult your dealer
immediately.

If the monitor screen dims a little and “TEMP. OVER”
appears (or fl ashes)

If “TEMP. OVER” appears or fl ashes at the right bottom of the
screen, check the following before consulting the dealer where
you purchased the monitor.
“TEMP. OVER” appears to warn you of internal heat buildup, which
is usually caused by accumulated dust around the intakes or by
improper installation. If the cause of the internal heat buildup is
eliminated, this indication disappears and the screen returns to
normal brightness.

• If “TEMP. OVER” fl ashes in yellow

This may be caused by the dusty intakes on the rear. If this

happens, switch off the main power using the POWER switch
(set to “‡ (off )”), unplug the AC power cord, then clean the
intakes by referring to the instruction on page 4.
– After cleaning, switch on the monitor’s main power again.

If “TEMP. OVER” still fl ashes, this problem may be caused by
improper installation or improper location of the monitor.
In this case, consult your dealer immediately to solve this
improper installation and to improve the circumstances
around the monitor.

• If “TEMP. OVER” appears in red

“TEMP. OVER” will be shown for about two minutes, the monitor

will shut off automatically, then the self-diagnostic lamps light in
red. If this happens, switch off the main power using the POWER
switch (set to “‡ (off )”), unplug the AC power cord, then consult
your dealer immediately.

If the trouble still persists, follow the procedure below:

1 Check which lamps are lit or fl ashing.

On the Self-diagnostic Report Sheet (below), check the box
next to “Lights” or “Flashes” of the corresponding lamp or
lamps.

• Only one lamp may light or fl ash, or all three lamps may do
so.

2 Switch off the POWER switch on the back of the

monitor.

3 Unplug the power cord.

4 Call your dealer and tell them which lamps are lit or

fl ashing. (Copy and fax the Self-diagnostic Report
Sheet below.)

NOTE

• If you switch on the main power immediately after switching it
off (or after recovering from a brief power interruption), the self­diagnostic lamps may light (or fl ash), and no image may appear
on the screen. In this case, switch off the main power again, wait
for about 10 seconds, then switch it on again. If no self-diagnostic
lamps light or fl ash, you can operate and use the monitor as usual.
