● It is not recommended to keep a certain still image displayed on screen for a long time as well as displaying extremely bright

images on screen. This may cause a burning (sticking) phenomenon on the screen of cathode-ray tube. This problem does

not occur as far as displaying normal video playback motion images.

Supplementary Explanation

= Information for monitor operation =

This monitor uses a high precision CRT (cathode ray tube). Please follow the procedures below.

*For stable operation of the CRT, approximately 30 minutes running time is required from the time the power is turned on.

*When the monitor is installed, it can be easily affected by surrounding magnetic fields, which can generate irregular color on

the screen. When it is difficult to eradicate, degauss from outside using a degausser, etc.
