PRECAUTIONS

Cautions for handling the liquid crystal panel

Do not expose the liquid crystal display to direct sunlight.

ENGLISH

• Storage temperature range: –20 °C to +80 °C

+80°C

–20°C

–20°C to +80°C

During the summer, temperatures can reach as high as 100 °C.

When the liquid crystal panel reaches high temperatures or low temperatures, chemical changes occur within the liquid crystal panel which may cause it to malfunction.

The red spots, blue spots and green spots on the panel surface are a normal characteristic of liquid crystal panels, and not a problem.

Do not drop the liquid crystal display or strike it sharply.

When the temperature is very cold or very hot, the image may not appear clearly or may move slowly. The image may not be synchronized with the sound or the image quality may decline in such environments. Note that this is not a malfunction or problem.

• Usage temperature range: 0 °C to +40 °C

Spots

The liquid crystal panel is built with very high precision technology and has at least

99.99% effective image pixels. Be aware

that on 0.01% of the panel there may be missing or constantly lit pixels.

MAINTENANCE

To prevent damage to the exterior

• Do not apply pesticides, benzine, thinner or other volatile substances to the unit. The cabinet surface primarily consists of plastic materials.

• Do not wipe with benzine, thinner or similar substances because this will results in discoloration or removal of the paint.

ENGLISH

• When a cloth with a cleansing chemical is used, follow the caution points. – Do not leave the unit in contact with rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time. – Do not use cleansers which have polishing granules because this could damage the

surface of the unit.

Clean off dirt by wiping lightly with a soft cloth

When the unit is very dirty, wipe with a well-wrung cloth dipped in a kitchen cleanser (neutral) thinned by water and then go over the same surface with a dry cloth. (Since there is the possibility of water drops getting inside of the unit, do not directly apply cleanser to the surface.)

Caution:

If water drops or similar wet substances get inside of the monitor via the liquid crystal panel surface, it may cause a malfunction.
