Installation

Precautions

• Before installation, peel the protective film off from the clear panel attached to the front panel.

• 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 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).

• The ambient temperature of the installation place should be within the range of 0°C to 40°C (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 effects, such as reflections, from the surroundings. If this happens, move the monitor where it is free from these effects.

• 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.)
