Precautions for Use

This product is specially designed for industrial use. So, it must be operated by a person having technical knowledge.

•The liquid crystal portion is manufactured with highly precise technology. It includes over 99.99% of effective pixels, but 0.01% or less of pixel missing or fixed lighting (red, blue, green) as well. This is not a sign of malfunction.

• If a still image is displayed for a long time, it may cause temporary generation of afterimage (phosphor burn-in). (Such afterimage will disappear when an ordinary mobile image is displayed for a while.)

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

• Consult with the authorized service person for the installation.

Be sure to consult with the service person about the installation. Make sure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough to endure the weight of this unit including the mount fittings. If not strong enough, it may cause accidents such as falling off of the unit and injuries.

• Do not install the unit in a place exposed to the direct sunlight. It may otherwise deteriorate the cabinet or damage the liquid crystal acreen.
