Precautions for use

Cautions when installing

Do not set up the Display outdoors.
The Display is designed for indoor use.
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.
Do not place the display where it may be affected by salt or corrosive gas.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal
parts and result in malfunctions due to corrosion.
Required space for ventilation

Cleaning and maintenance

The front of the liquid crystal panel has been specially treated. Wipe the surface of the liquid crystal 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.

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.

Disposal

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

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 connection 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 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 from 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
BPR signals, analogue RGB signals and digital
YP 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 112 ) for the types of video signals that can be displayed with the unit.
