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.

If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.
If the Display will not be used for a long period of time,
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
If problems occur during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound),
or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the
Display, unplug the power cord immediately.
• Continuous use of the Display under these conditions
might cause re or permanent damage to the unit.
Have the Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Services to the Display by any unauthorized personnel are strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.

• A short may occur, which could cause re. Contact an
Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.

Maintenance

The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface 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 ngernails 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.
