SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked
the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut
off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug

destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a

13A socked outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue : Neutral Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows;

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N
or coloured black.

• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked
L or coloured red.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin
plug. Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off
plug.

• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead
wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Page

ENGLISH

Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property
damage if improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest
priority on safety. However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent
potential danger, please observe the following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the
product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of your LCD product, please read the following
precautions carefully before using the product.

1. Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is
operated.

2. Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe
place for future reference.

3. Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.

4. Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.

5. Cleaning—Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp
cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate
attachments can result in accidents.

7. Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen
sink and laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.

8. Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product
on an unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as
damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

9. When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care.
Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to
fall from the cart.

10. Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for
ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient
ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not
place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can
block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do
not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless
proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

LC-15M4E(01-04)Eng.p65 01.6.15, 4:20 PM1

11. Power source—This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local
power company. For units designed to operate on batteries or another power source, refer to the
operating instructions.

12. Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping
on them or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs.

13. If you plan to use a 12-VDC power supply unit other than the AC adapter supplied with the
product, make sure the power supply unit provides stable voltage with minimum fluctuations.
Unstable power supply can cause problems in the product.

14. The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is
dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the
LCD panel breaks.

15. Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or
electric shock.

16. Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings.
High voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short
internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

17. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to
high voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform
servicing.

18. Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and
request a qualified service person to perform repairs.
a.When the power cord or plug is damaged.
b.When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d.When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.

Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper

adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires

extensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.
e.When the product has been dropped or damaged.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product

indicates that the product needs servicing.

19. Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service
person uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteris­tics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric
shock and/or other danger.

20. Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to
perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

21. Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the
product according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.

22. Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and
other heat-generating products (including amplifiers).

The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 921,600 thin film transistors, giving you fine
picture details.
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or
red.
Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.
