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.

This monitor is equipped with a 3-blade grounding-type
plug to satisfy FCC rule. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your electrician.

䡵 PRECAUTIONS

• Use only the power source specified on the unit.
(120 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-H1700B 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. There 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.

7 ABOUT EXTERNAL CONTROL

The Multi-Format Monitor has two external control terminals.
One is the MAKE/TRIGGER terminal, which allows the monitor to be controlled by the MAKE (make contact) or TRG. (trigger contact)

method selected in the function setting.

MAKE (make contact system): Controls functions either by short-circuiting (short with GND of 15th terminal) or stable disconnection

(terminal open) of the controlled terminal.

TRG. (trigger system) : Controls the function by instantaneously (one second) short-circuiting (short with GND of 15th

terminal) the controlled terminal.

* MAKE or TRIGGER are selected from REMOTE SYSTEM in the setup menu.

The other terminal used for remote control is the RS-232C terminal, and this allows the monitor to be controlled by serial
communication.

NOTE: Control priority is in the following order; 1 MAKE/TRIGGER terminal > 2 RS-232C terminal > 3 front panel buttons.

When trigger contact is on, the front panel buttons can be operated.

During Communication from the Monitor to the PC

The monitor sends the data when both DSR and DCD are set to ON and RTS is set to ON.

Communication Procedures

The following is the communication procedures.

1. Starting the communication
Receives the connection command (!BCN1Cr) from the PC

2. Performing the external control
Receives the control command (!XXXXCr) from the PC Sends the monitor’s status (@BOKCr) to the PC
* The monitor repeats these receiving and sending if necessary.

3. Terminating the communication
Receives the termination command (!BCN0Cr)

* After sending the data to the monitor, the PC must first receive the data from the monitor and then send the next command

because the communication is performed in a hand-shake system. If the PC does not receive the status from the monitor after
sending the command, re-send the command.

The following are not malfunctions:

• You may see two horizontal lines on the monitor. They are the
shadows of the “damper lines” that are necessary for composing the
monitor. These lines are not a malfunction.

Damper line

• About CRT tube reflection (when Zoom mode is used.)
The screen might appear as brownish white. This is due to a

reflection of part of the image on the CRT caused by certain signal
sources, and it is not a malfunction.

• When a bright still image (such as a white cloth) is displayed for a
long period, it may appear to be colored. This is due to the structure
of the cathode ray tube and will disappear when another image is
displayed.

• You may sometimes experience a mild electric shock when you
touch the picture tube. This phenomenon is due to a normal buildup
of static electricity on the CRT and is not harmful.

• The monitor emits a strange sound when the room temperature
changes suddenly. This is only a problem if an abnormality appears
on the screen as well.

• If two or more monitors are operated next to each other, their
images may shake or be distorted. This phenomenon is due to
mutual interference; it is not a malfunction. Move the monitors away
from each other until the interference disappears or turn the power
off on any monitor that is not being used.

When black vertical lines appear on the screen

Black vertical lines may appear on the screen if the aperture grill is tilted as a result of being shaken or jolted during shipment.

In this case, try tapping the monitor on the side. If this does not get rid of the lines, follow the procedure below.

1. Display a white screen, so that the problem area can be seen clearly.

2. Maximize the “CONTRAST” and “BRIGHT” adjustments, then place a bright white rectangle on the area.

3. After a while, the lines should disappear.

7 SELF-CHECK INDICATIONS

When the screen goes blank, and one or more of the INPUT SELECT A through F buttons on the front control panel start
blinking...

This monitor has a self-check function, which allows it to detect malfunctions and alert you. This makes trouble-shooting easier.
Whenever a problem occurs, a combination of “self-check indicators” (INPUT SELECT A through F buttons) will blink and the
monitor’s power automatically turns off. If this happens, follow the steps below and contact your dealer to resolve the problem.

1. Check which indicators are blinking.

2. Turn off the main power switch on the back of the monitor.

3. Disconnect the Power Cord from the AC outlet.

4. Contact your dealer with the information about which indicators are blinking.

NOTE:

If you turn on the monitor’s power immediately after turning it off (or after a short-term power failure), the self-check indicators
may blink, and no image may be displayed.

When this happens, turn off the power, and wait at least 10 seconds before turning it on again. If the self-check indicators have
stopped blinking, you can use the monitor as usual.
