Early Warning Software

•

ET-SWA100 series

: Suffix of the part number may differ depending on the

*

license type.

Note

●

The part number of the optional accessories are
subject to change without notice.

When installing the pedestal, read the operating
instructions supplied with it carefully and install properly.
Also, always use the overturn prevention accessories.

We are not responsible for any product damage, etc.
caused by failures in the installation environment for

Cautions for Wall or Pedestal Installation

The installation should be performed by an installation

•

professional. Installing the Display incorrectly may
lead to an accident that results in death or serious
injury. Use the optional Pedestal. (see page 6)

When installing on a wall, a wall hanging bracket that

•

conforms to VESA standards must be used.

(see page 8)

Before installation, be sure to check if the mounting

•

location has enough strength to support the weight
of the LCD display and the wall hanging bracket for
anti drop.

If you terminate the use of the Display on the Wall or

•

Pedestal, ask a professional to remove the Display as
soon as possible.

When mounting the Display on the wall, prevent the

•

mounting screws and power cable from contacting
metal objects inside the wall. An electric shock may
occur if they contact metal objects inside the wall.

Do not install the product to a place where the
product is exposed to direct sunlight.

If the screen is exposed to direct sunlight, the liquid

•

crystal panel may have adverse effect.

when using the multi display, store the remote control
sensor in the main unit. (see page 22)

Do not grab the liquid crystal panel.

Do not forcibly press the liquid crystal panel, or push

•

it with a pointed object. Applying a strong force to
the liquid crystal panel will cause unevenness of the
screen display, resulting in malfunction.

Notes on Using Wired LAN

When setting up the Display at a place, where
electric statistic occurs often, take a sufficient
antistatic measure before start using.

When the Display is used at a location, where static

•

electricity occurs often, such as on a carpet, a wired
LAN communication is disconnected more often.
In that case, remove static electricity and the noise
source that may cause problems with an antistatic
mat, and re-connect the wired LAN.

In rare cases, the LAN connection is disabled due

•

to static electricity or noise. In that case, turn off the
power of the Display and the connected devices once
and then re-turn on the power.

The Display may not work properly due to strong
radio wave from the broadcast station or the radio.

If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs

•

strong radio wave, near the installation location, set
up the Display at a location sufficiently far from the
source of the radio wave. Or, wrap the LAN cable
connected to the LAN terminal by using a piece of
metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is grounded at
both ends.

Cleaning and maintenance

The front of the display panel has been specially
treated. Wipe the surface of the display panel gently
using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.

If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft,

•

lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or
water in which neutral detergent has been diluted 100
times, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the
same type until the surface is dry.

Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with

•

fingernails or other hard objects, otherwise the
surface may become damaged. Furthermore, avoid
contact with volatile substances such as insect
sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of
the surface may be adversely affected.

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry
cloth.

If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in

•

water to which a small amount of neutral detergent
has been added and then wring the cloth dry. Use this
cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a
dry cloth.

Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact

•

with the surface of the Display. If water droplets get
inside the unit, operating problems may result.

Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect

•

sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of
the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the
coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for
long periods in contact with articles made from rubber
or PVC.

Usage of a chemical cloth

Do not use a chemical cloth for the panel surface.

•

Follow the instructions for the chemical cloth to use it

•

for the cabinet.

Disposal

When disposing the product, ask your local
authority or dealer about the correct methods of

Before connecting

●

Before connecting cables, carefully read the operating
instructions for the external device to be connected.

●

Turn off the power of all devices before connecting
cables.

●

Take note of the following points before connecting
the cables. Failure to do so may result in
malfunctions.

When connecting a cable to the unit or a device

•

connected to the unit itself, touch any nearby
metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from
your body before performing work.

Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect

•

a device to the unit or to the unit body. The
longer the cable, the more susceptible to noise it
becomes. Since using a cable while it is wound
makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible
to noise.

When connecting cables, connect GND first, then

•

insert the connecting terminal of the connecting
device in a straight manner.

●

Acquire any cable necessary to connect the external
device to the system that is neither supplied with the
device nor available as an option.

●

If the outer shape of the plug of a connection cable is
large, it may come in contact with the periphery such
as a back cover or the plug of an adjacent connection
cable. Use a connection cable with the suitable plug
size for the terminal alignment.

●

If video signals from video equipment contain too
much jitter, the images on the screen may wobble.
In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be
connected.

●

When the sync signals output form PC or video
equipment are disturbed, for example, when changing
settings of video output, the colour of the video may
be disturbed temporarily.

●

The unit accepts Composite video signals, YC
YPBPR signals, analogue RGB signals and digital
signals.

●

Some PC models are not compatible with the unit.

●

Use cable compensator when you connect devices to
the unit using long cables. Otherwise the image may
not display properly.

●

Refer to “Preset Signals” (see page 80) for the types
of video signals that can be displayed with the unit.

The type of computer signal that can be connected

●

With regard to the typical PC input signals that
are described in “Preset Signals” (see page 80),
adjustment values such as for the standard picture
positions and sizes have already been stored in this
unit.

(Computer signals which can be input are those with
a horizontal scanning frequency of 30 to 110 kHz and
vertical scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz.)

●

The display resolution is a maximum of 1 440 × 1 080
dots when the aspect mode is set to [4:3], and 1 920
× 1 080 dots when the aspect mode is set to [16:9].
If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it
may not be possible to show fine detail with sufficient
clarity.

●

In [ENGLISH(US)] OSD language, [16:9] is displayed
as [FULL].

Note

●

The PC IN terminal is DDC2B-compatible. If the
computer being connected is not DDC2B-compatible,
you will need to make setting changes to the
computer at the time of connection.

●

There is no need to use an adapter for computers
with DOS/V compatible Mini D-sub 15P terminal.

English

●

The computer shown in the illustration is for example
purposes only.

●

Additional computer, cables and conversion adapter
shown are not supplied with this set.

●

Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning
frequencies for PC signals which are above or below
the specified frequency range.

●

Component Input is possible with the pin 1, 2, 3 of the
Mini D-sub 15P Connector.

●

Change the [Component/RGB-in select] setting in
the [Signal] menu to [Component] (when Component
