Precautions for use

Cautions when installing

Do not set up the Display outdoors.

•• The Display is designed for indoor use.

Install this unit at a location which can support the weight of the unit.

•• Use the installation bracket that conforms to VESA standards

Environmental temperature to use this unit

•• When using the unit where it is below 1 400 m (4 593 ft) above sea level: 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F)

•• When using the unit at high altitudes (1 400 m (4 593 ft) and higher and below 2 800 m (9 186 ft) above sea level): 0 °C to 35 °C (32 °F to 95 °F)

Do not install the unit where it is 2 800 m (9 186 ft) and higher above sea level.

•• Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.

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

Required space for ventilation

•• When using the pedestal, leave a space of 10 cm (3 15/16”) or more at the top, left and right, and 5 cm

(1 31/32”) or more at the rear, and also keep the space between the bottom of the display and the floor surface.

If using some other setting-up method (wall-hanging, etc.), follow the manual of it. (If there is no specific indication of installation dimension in the installation manual, leave a space of 10 cm (3 15/16”) or more at the top, bottom, left and right, and 5 cm (1 31/32”) or more at the rear.)

Minimum distance:

		a
	a	a	b	a: 10 cm
				(3 15/16”)
				b: 5 cm
				(1 31/32”)

•• Operation of this unit is guaranteed up to an ambient temperature of 40 °C (104 °F). When installing the unit in a case or chassis, be sure to provide adequate ventilation with a cooling fan or ventilation hole so that the surrounding temperature (inside the case or chassis) including the temperature of the front surface

of the liquid crystal panel can be kept at 40 °C (104 °F) or less.

Be careful of the movable structure of the power indicator and remote control sensor.

•• As factory default, the power indicator and remote control sensor are stored in the main unit. For normal use, pull out the remote control sensor from the edge side of the main unit by operating the lever on the rear panel. Depending on the setup condition such as when using the multi display, store the remote control sensor in the main unit. (see page 17)

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.

Depending on the temperature or humidity conditions, uneven brightness may be observed. This is not a malfunction.

•• This unevenness will disappear while applying current continuously. If not, consult the distributor.

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 or DIGITAL LINK 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 or DIGITAL LINK.

•• 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 DIGITAL LINK / LAN terminal by using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is grounded at both ends.
