This video monitor is designed to display television content from a separate TV tuner. Full-power analog TV broadcasting
in the United States will end (as required by law) on February 17, 2009, after which full-power TV broadcasts will be
digital only. If this device is used after that date to record or display programming from a product with a TV tuner that
relies on a TV antenna, that product would need to contain a digital tuner, or a TV Converter would be necessary to
tune the digital signal received with a TV antenna. Analog TVs should continue to work as before for other purposes
(e.g., for watching low-power TV stations still broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies, or playing video
games). When a Converter is used with an older television receiver or directly with this product, a signal splitter might
be necessary to continue to receive low-power analog broadcasts via an antenna. For more information, please see
www.DTV.gov or 1-888-CALL-FCC. For information on the TV Converter program, and on government coupons that
may be used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009. Please check
with your cable or satellite service provider if you have questions about your cable or satellite set-top box.

Small parts can present choking hazard if accidentally swallowed. Keep small parts away from young children. Discard
unneeded small parts and other objects, including packaging materials and plastic bags/sheets to prevent them from being
played with by young children, creating the potential risk of suffocation.

When using the LCD Display

Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the
ventilation holes of the Display.

• Top of the Display is usually very hot due to the high
temperature of exhaust air being released through the
ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries can happen
if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any
object near the top of the display could also result in
heat damages to the object as well as to the Display if its
ventilation holes are blocked.

Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the
Display.

•

Moving the Display with its cables attached might damage
the cables which, in turn, can cause fi re or electric shock.

Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a
safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.

• Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from
becoming dusty.

• Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase
humidity which might damage the insulation and cause
fi re. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it
with a dry cloth.

This Display radiates infrared rays, therefore it may
affect other infrared communication equipment.
Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct
or refl ected light from your Display.
