EMC NOTICE FOR THE PURCHASER/USER OF THE APPARATUS

1. Applicable standards and operating environment
The apparatus is compliant with:

• standards EN55103-1 and EN55103-2 2009, and

• electromagnetic environments E1, E2, E3 and E4.

2. Pre-requisite conditions to achieving compliance with the above standards
<1> Peripheral equipment to be connected to the apparatus and special connecting cables

• The purchaser/user is urged to use only equipment which has been recommended by us as peripheral
equipment to be connected to the apparatus.

• The purchaser/user is urged to use only the connecting cables described below.

<2> For the connecting cables, use shielded cables which suit the intended purpose of the apparatus.

• Video signal connecting cables
Use double shielded coaxial cables, which are designed for 75-ohm type high-frequency applications, for
SDI (Serial Digital Interface).
Coaxial cables, which are designed for 75-ohm type high-frequency applications, are recommended for
analog video signals.

• Audio signal connecting cables
If your apparatus supports AES/EBU serial digital audio signals, use cables designed for AES/EBU.
Use shielded cables, which provide quality performance for high-frequency transmission applications, for
analog audio signals.

• Other connecting cables (IEEE1394, USB)
Use shielded cables, which provide quality performance for high-frequency applications, as connecting
cables.

• When connecting to the DVI signal terminal, use a cable with a ferrite core.

• If your apparatus is supplied with ferrite core(s), they must be attached on cable(s) following instructions in
this manual.

3. Performance level

The performance level of the apparatus is equivalent to or better than the performance level required by these
standards.
However, the apparatus may be adversely affected by interference if it is being used in an EMC environment,
such as an area where strong electromagnetic fields are generated (by the presence of signal transmission
towers, cellular phones, etc.). In order to minimize the adverse effects of the interference on the apparatus in
cases like this, it is recommended that the following steps be taken with the apparatus being affected and with its
operating environment:

1. Place the apparatus at a distance from the source of the interference.

2. Change the direction of the apparatus.

3. Change the connection method used for the apparatus.

4. Connect the apparatus to another power outlet where the power is not shared by any other appliances.

Transportation precautions

Do not try to lift the
monitor by grabbing
the LCD panel.

Do not expose the LCD panel to strong pressure or pressure from pointed objects. Take care especially during
transportation.
Exposing the LCD panel to strong pressure may result in blurring or other damage.

6

Do not place the monitor face down during transportation to prevent
damaging it. Keep it upright.

About this manual

• The BT-L2150P/2150E and the BT-L1500P/1500E is referred to as “the unit” in this manual.

• The images and diagrams used in this manual are for reference purposes and may differ from the actual product

and displays.

• HDMI, the HDMI logo, and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of

HDMI Licensing LLC in the United States and other countries.

• Adobe

• Page references are indicated as “(J page 00)” in this manual.

Reader® is a trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated.

Precautions for Use

• The LCD monitor is manufactured with high-precision technology and has an effective pixel count of over

99.99 %. However, less than 0.01 % of pixels may be stuck or dead in some cases. This is not a malfunction and
has no effect on the recorded images.

• Wiping the protective panel with a hard cloth, or rubbing it vigorously will scratch the surface.

• If a still image is displayed for an extended period of time, it may generate a temporary afterimage (phosphor

burn-in). (However, such images can be removed by displaying normal video for a while.)

• The response speed and brightness of liquid crystal vary with ambient temperatures.

• Do not install the unit in a place exposed to direct sunlight, as it may damage the cabinet and the LCD screen.

• Do not install the unit in locations where enough space cannot be provided around it as heat may build up inside

preventing normal operation. Be sure to provide enough space around the unit.

• Exposing the LCD screen to intense light sources will impair its characteristics and lower image quality.

• In an environment exposed to drastic temperature fluctuations, condensation may build up on and inside the

LCD screen. This may lower the quality of the screen and may damage it.

• Some video images may appear blurred on the screen.

• Leaving the unit in a location exposed to high temperature and humidity for an extended period of time may

damage the LCD screen and cause blurring.

• Streaks of light may be seen in the area between the edge of the screen and the frame; this is normal and not a

malfunction.

• The LCD panel is covered by a protective panel to protect it from damage during transportation. Remove the

protective panel before use.

• This unit does not support VIERA Link. If the unit is connected to a VIERA-Link-compatible device via an HDMI

cable, VIERA Link functions on the other device may not operate properly.

Detaching and Attaching the Protective Panel

The LCD panel is covered by a protective panel to protect it from damage during transportation. Remove the
protective panel before use.

indicates screws found only on BT-L2150P/

2150E (not present on BT-L1500P/1500E)

Detaching the panel

1. Unscrew the protective panel screws (10 screws
for BT-L2150P/2150E, 8 for BT-L1500P/1500E)
using a Phillips screwdriver while supporting the
protective panel with your hand.

2. Detach the protective panel.

• After detaching, please store the protective panel and

the protective panel screws.

Attaching the panel

Verify the top and bottom of the protective panel before
attaching.

1. Align the screw holes on the protective panel
with those on the unit.

• Fit the protective panel into the groove on the unit.

2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, screw the
protective panel screws (10 screws for BT­L2150P/2150E, 8 for BT-L1500P/1500E) to screw
the protective panel to the unit.

• The protective panel may crack if it is screwed too

tight. (Screwing torque: Tighten to about 30 N cm or
less)

26

Detaching and Attaching the Tilt Stand

The tilt stand is detachable.

• When detaching and attaching the protective panel, it is recommended that you place the unit flat on the edge of
a desk or table with a soft cloth or similar material spread underneath.

2. Screw the tilt stand to the unit by screwing the tilt
stand screws (four) using a Phillips screwdriver.

(Screwing torque: Tighten to about 100 N cm or more)

Maintenance Inspections

Maintenance inspections through periodic and appropriate maintenance are essential to keep the monitor in
optimum condition and ensure safe operation. Be sure to conduct the following maintenance inspections to enable
long-term and full use of all its functions.

Necessity of periodic maintenance service

The backlight in the LCD panel is a consumable component that deteriorates over time leading to gradual loss of
performance that could eventually result in a malfunction.
Conventional after-sales service that replaces parts when they break down should therefore be combined with a
regularly conducted comprehensive service to maintain normal operation and prevent unforeseen breakdown of
consumables.

Maintenance

• Clean the cabinet and protective panel by gently wiping them with a soft cloth.

To remove stubborn soiling, use a cloth dampened in a weak neutral detergent solution and thoroughly wrung
out. Then wipe with a dry cloth.Any moisture entering the monitor could damage it.

• Do not use benzene, thinner and similar solvents for cleaning.

They could discolor the surface and cause the paint to peel.

• Do not directly expose the monitor to spray cleaning.

Any moisture entering the monitor could damage it.
