Precaution
On Safety
• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified
in the “Specifications” section.
• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, 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.
Handling the LCD Screen
• If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a
residual image may appear on the screen. This is not
a malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the
screen returns to normal.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
On Burn-in
For LCD panel, permanent burn-in may occur if still
images are displayed in the same position on the screen
continuously, or repeatedly over extended periods.
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
To reduce the risk of burn-in
• Turn off the character displays
Press the MENU button to turn off the character
displays. To turn off the character 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 viewfinder is not to be used
for a prolonged period of time.
On a Long Period of Use
Due to the characteristics of LCD panel, 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.
• The LCD 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 liquid crystal display,
such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These
problems are not a malfunction.
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place
the unit by a window.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor’s screen. Do
not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor’s screen.
This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
6
Precaution
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.
On Cleaning
On Mounting on a Rack
Before cleaning
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet.
On cleaning the monitor screen
The monitor screen surface is especially treated to
reduce reflection of light.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance
of the monitor, take care with respect to the following:
• Wipe the screen gently with a soft cloth such as a
cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such
as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly
dampened with water.
• Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner,
or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical
cleaning cloth, as they will damage the screen surface.
On cleaning the cabinet
• Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly
dampened with mild detergent solution, followed by
wiping with a soft dry cloth.
• Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may
damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the
indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.
• If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the
cabinet may be scratched.
• If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin
product for a long period of time, the finish of the
cabinet may deteriorate or the coating may come off.
Leave 1U space empty above and below the monitor to
ensure adequate air circulation or install a fan to
maintain the monitor’s performance.
If you have any questions about this unit, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.
On Fan Error
The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the fan
stops and the KEY INHIBIT indicator on the front panel
blinks for fan error indication, turn off the power and
contact an authorized Sony dealer.
On Moisture Condensation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold place to a warm
place, or the unit is warm and the ambient temperature
cools suddenly (by air-conditioning, for example),
moisture may condense on the surface or inside of the
unit, or create a mist residue inside the protection plate
if it is installed to the unit.
This is called moisture condensation, and is not a
malfunction of the product itself, although it may cause
damage to the unit.
Leave the unit in a condensation free area.
If moisture condensation has occurred, turn off the unit
and do not use it until moisture condensation has
evaporated.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container which to transport the
unit.
