SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

In order to prevent any fatal accidents caused by misoperation or mishandling the monitor, be fully aware of all the following precautions.

WARNINGS

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this monitor to rain or moisture. Dangerous high voltages are present inside the unit. Do not remove the back cover of the cabinet. When servicing the monitor, consult qualified service personnel. Never try to service it yourself.

WARNING : THIS APPARATUS

MUST BE EARTHED.

Improper operations, in particular alternation of high voltage or changing the type of tube may result in x-ray emission of considerable dose. A unit altered in such a way no longer meets the standards of certification, and must therefore no longer be operated.

䡵 PRECAUTIONS

● Use only the power source specified on the unit.

(230 V AC, 50 Hz/60 Hz)

● Keep flammable material, water, and metal objects away from the unit – especially the interior of the unit.

● This unit incorporates high voltage circuitry. For your own safety and that of your equipment, do not attempt to modify or disassemble this monitor. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

● Video or audio signals cannot be input to this monitor without optional input cards.

● In these instructions, all explanations (except where noted) refer to the BT-H1700AE with input cards installed.

SCREEN BURN

● 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.

䡵 HANDLING

● Avoid shocks or vibrations. These may damage the unit and

cause it to malfunction.

● Do not block the ventilation slots.

● 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. They can generate picture noise and instability.

● Keep the monitor clean by wiping the cabinet and CRT screen with a piece of soft cloth. Do not apply thinner or benzine. These chemicals can damage 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.

DEGAUSS

● Do not use a magnet eraser to degauss the monitor’s cathode ray tube from the outside. Doing so may distort its aperture grill and cause a malfunction.

EMC Supplement

This equipment is in conformity with the provisions and protection requirements of the corresponding European Directives. This equipment is designed for professional video appliances and can be used in the following environments:

● Controlled EMC environment (for example purpose built broadcasting or recording studio), and the rural outdoors environment (far away from railways, transmitters, overhead power lines, etc.)

In order to keep the best performance and furthermore for electromagnetic compatibility we recommend to use cables not exceeding the following length:

Cable Length

Power cord (attached cable) 2.0 m Video signal cable (coaxial cable) 2.0 m Y/C signal cable (shielded cable) 3.0 m

The inrush current of this apparatus is 20.1 ampere.

Caution

When in case that the strong electromagnetic waves or magnetism is near the audio cable or the signal cable, the sound or the picture will contain noise. In such case, please keep the cable away from the sources of the disturbance.

Cable Length

Audio signal cable (shielded cable) 1.0 m D-sub 9-pin cable (shielded cable) 1.5 m D-sub 15-pin cable (shielded cable) 1.0 m
