Precautions for Use

• The LCD screen is manufactured to precise specifications. Although over 99.99% of the pixels function normally,

0.01 of the pixels are either missing or constantly lit (red, blue or green). This is normal and not a cause for
concern.

• The liquid crystal protection panel is a specially manufactured component. Wiping it 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.

• Let authorized service person handle 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 fall off resulting
in injury.

• 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.

Error/Warning Displays

If for any reason an error occurs in this monitor, the LEDs above the picture adjusting knob flash at 1-second
intervals (informing you of the error/warning display).

Error/Warning displays

Inverter error

Fan stop
Error

Low incoming
voltage from
external DC power
source warning/
LOW VOLTAGE

If a malfunction occurs in the inverter that
controls the backlight brightness, the
backlight will switch OFF.
The screen becomes completely black.

The fan in the back of the monitor stops if
a malfunction occurs. If a picture is being
displayed when the malfunction occurs, it
will continue being displayed as is.

The “LOW VOLTAGE” status flashes in
blue on the screen.
This signals that the incoming voltage
from the external DC power source has
fallen below approximately 11.3 V.

The “LOW VOLTAGE” status is displayed in red on
the screen, and after approximately 4 seconds the
power turns OFF.
This signals that the incoming voltage from the
external DC power source has fallen below 11.0 V.

Symptom Solution

Switch the power supply OFF once, then
switch it back ON again. If an error is still
displayed, contact the vendor where you
purchased the monitor.

If the error is still displayed after this,
contact the vendor where you purchased
the monitor immediately.
If a fan stop error occurs, setting “FAN
MOTOR” to “OFF” in the “SYSTEM
CONFIG” menu (refer to page 19) allows
you to continue using the monitor with
reduced screen brightness.

• If a battery is being used as the external
DC power source, replace the battery
with one that is fully charged.

• If the power turns OFF, connect the
product with an external DC power
source with a voltage of 11.0 V or higher,
and after first switching the POWER
switch to OFF, switch it back to ON
again.

Maintenance

• To clean the cabinet or surface of the liquid crystal protection panel, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in a weak detergent solution and then wrung-out to clean the
surfaces, then use a dry cloth to finish. Water or similar substances getting inside the monitor can cause a malfunction.

• Never use thinner or benzene to clean this unit.
Doing so would cause the surface of the monitor to become discolored, and cause paint to peel.

• Do not spray cleansers directly onto the monitor.
Water or similar substances getting inside the monitor can cause a malfunction.

Maintenance Inspections

Maintenance inspections are necessary for the user to use this equipment safely. It is important to keep monitor
functions in good condition at all times through periodical and appropriate maintenance. In order to use this monitor for a
long time, and to make full use of all of its functions, be sure to carry out the following maintenance inspections.

1. Necessity of periodical maintenance services

A backlight is used in the liquid crystal panel. This
part (consumable) deteriorates as time passes, and
can cause performance levels to drop, or may cause
a malfunction.
Therefore, in addition to the after-service repairs
performed if a malfunction occurs, it is essential that
general servicing and maintenance servicing are
conducted on a regular basis, to prevent malfunctions
and accidents caused by the deterioration of
consumable parts, and to keep the monitor working
normally.

2. Standard maintenance time guidelines and items
to be performed

The following maintenance performance times give
standard guidelines for when to perform maintenance,
and do not indicate the individual lifespan of your
equipment. Also, note that the deterioration time
varies depending on the usage environment and way
in which the equipment is used.
