Precautions
• Laissez un espace autour de l’appareil pour la
ventilation.
• Laissez plus de 40 cm d’espace à l’arrière de l’appareil
pour délimiter la zone de service.
On Safety
• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified in
the “Specifications” section.
• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the rear panel.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord. If
the power cord is damaged, turn off the power
immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a
damaged power cord.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used
for several days or more.
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by
grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
On Installation
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or
near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the
ventilation holes.
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such
as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
For BVM-F250A only
When installing the installation space must be secured in
consideration of the ventilation and service operation.
• Do not block the ventilation slots, and vents of the fans.
• Leave a space around the unit for ventilation.
• Leave more than 40 cm of space in the rear of the unit to
secure the operation area.
When the unit is installed on the desk or the like, leave at
least 1U (4.4 cm) or more of space above and below the
unit. Leaving 40 cm or more of space above the unit is
recommended for service operation.
Pour le BVM-F250A uniquement
Pendant l’installation, prenez en compte l’espace
d’installation requis pour la ventilation et la maintenance.
• Ne bloquez pas les fentes de ventilation, ni les évents des
ventilateurs.
Lorsque l’appareil est installé sur un bureau ou équivalent,
laissez un espace d’au moins 1U (4,4 cm) au-dessus et en
dessous de l’appareil. Il est recommandé de laisser un
espace de 40 cm ou plus au-dessus de l’appareil à des fins
de maintenance.
Handling the Screen
• The OLED panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with
high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel
ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of
pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black), always
on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a
long period of use, because of the physical characteristics
of the panel, such “stuck” pixels may appear
spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.
• Do not leave the screen facing the sun as it can damage
the screen. Take care when you place the unit by a
window.
• Do not push or scratch the monitor’s screen. Do not place
a heavy object on the monitor’s screen. This may cause
the screen to lose uniformity.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
On Burn-in
Due to the characteristics of the material used in the OLED
panel, permanent burn-in or reduction in brightness may
occur.
These problems are not a malfunction.
Images that may cause burn-in
• Masked images with aspect ratios other than 16:9
• Color bars or images that remain static for a long time
• Character or message displays that indicate settings or
the operating state
• On-screen displays such as center markers or area
markers
To reduce the risk of burn-in
• Turn off the character and marker displays
Press the MENU button to turn off the character displays.
To turn off the character or marker displays of the
connected equipment, operate the connected equipment
accordingly. For details, refer to the operation manual of
the connected equipment.
• Turn off the power when not in use
Turn off the power if the monitor is not to be used for a
prolonged period of time.
Precautions
23
Page 24
Screen saver
This product has a built-in screen saver function to reduce
burn-in. When an almost still image is displayed for more
than 10 minutes, the screen saver starts automatically and
the brightness of the screen decreases.
On a Long Period of Use
Due to an OLED’s panel structure and characteristics of
materials in its design, displaying static images for
extended periods, or using the unit repeatedly in a high
temperature/high humidity environments may cause image
smearing, burn-in, areas of which brightness is
permanently changed, lines, or a decrease in overall
brightness.
In particular, continued display of an image smaller than
the monitor screen, such as in a different aspect ratio, may
shorten the life of the unit.
Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or
using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high
humidity environment such an airtight room, or around the
outlet of an air conditioner.
To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend
reducing brightness slightly, and to turn off the power
whenever the unit is not in use.
Handling and Maintenance of the
Screen
The surface of the screen is specially coated to reduce
image reflection. Make sure to observe the following
points as improper maintenance procedures may impair the
screen’s performance. In addition, the screen is vulnerable
to damage. Do not scratch or knock against it using a hard
object.
• Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet before performing maintenance.
• The surface of the screen is specially coated. Do not
attach adhesive objects, such as stickers, on it.
• The surface of the screen is specially coated. Do not
touch the screen directly.
• Wipe the screen surface gently with the supplied
cleaning cloth or a soft dry cloth to remove dirt.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with the supplied
cleaning cloth, or a soft cloth slightly dampened with a
mild detergent solution.
• The screen may become scratched if the cleaning cloth is
dusty.
• Never use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzene,
thinner, acidic or alkaline detergent, detergent with
abrasives, or chemical wipe as these may damage the
screen.
• Use a blower to remove dust from the screen surface.
On Dew Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location,
or if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may
form on the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the
unit. This is known as condensation. If condensation
occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation
clears before operating the unit. Operating the unit while
condensation is present may damage the unit.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They
make an ideal container which to transport the unit.
Disposal of the Unit
Do not dispose of the unit with general waste.
Do not include the monitor with household waste.
When you dispose of the monitor, you must obey the law
in the relative area or country.
On Fan Error
The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the fan stops
and the OPERATE lamp flashes in red, the OVER RANGE
lamp flashes in amber, and the ECO lamp lights in magenta
on the front panel for fan error indication, turn off the
power and contact an authorized Sony dealer.
If you have any questions about this unit, please contact
your Sony service representative.

In this manual, the BKM-16R is referred to as the
controller.
For installation
BKM-37H/BKM-38H Controller Attachment
Stand (for BVM-F250A only)
Used to join a BKM-16R and the BVM-F250A.
Using the BKM-37H, you can adjust the monitor angle up
or down.
BKM-39H Controller Attachment Stand (for
BVM-F170A only)
Used to join a BKM-16R and the BVM-F170A.
SMF-700 Monitor Interface Cable
Used to connect the BVM-F250A/F170A to the BKM16R.
Input adaptors
The input connector panel is composed by installing the
optional input adaptor into the input option port on the
monitor. Up to four adaptors can be installed to the
monitor.
The input signal type for each connector of the adaptor is
set with the Channel Configuration menu, in accordance
with the configuration of the connector panel.
Note
When installing the adaptor, be sure to perform the
necessary input signal setup with the Channel
Configuration menu. If the setup is not performed, the
adaptors may not function correctly.
For information about the Channel Configuration menu,
refer to the Operation Manual.
For details of each input adaptor, refer to the operating
instructions of each model.

Notes
• The signal from the MONITOR OUT connector of the
BKM-220D, BKM-243HS, BKM-244C and BKM250TG does not satisfy the ON-LINE signal
specifications.
• An input adaptor with a specified serial number may be
required for your intended use. For the serial numbers of
the input adaptors available for this unit, see “Input
Adaptors” on the Operation Manual.
