equipment.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in

䡵 HANDLING

● Avoid shocks or vibrations. These may damage the

● Do not expose this unit to high temperatures.

Extended exposure to direct sunlight or a heater
could deform the cabinet or cause the performance
of internal components to deteriorate.

● Do not place the unit near appliances generating
strong electric or magnetic fields. These can
generate picture noise and instability.

CRT screen with a piece of soft cloth. Do not apply

the finish and erase printed letters. When the unit is
excessively dirty, use a diluted neutral cleanser, then
wipe away the cleanser with a dry cloth.

SCREEN BURN

● Try to avoid displaying still images or extremely
bright images on the screen for an extended period
of time. If left on screen for too long the image will
be permanently etched onto the CRT — a
phenomenon known as “screen burn”. Screen burn
is not a problem when displaying moving pictures
during video playback.
