Transportation precautions

Do not try to lift the monitor by grabbing the 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.

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

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 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.

• Be sure to attach a protection panel (optional accessory) when the unit is used outdoors.

• 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.
