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 Screen

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 flash ing . In additio n, 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 screen. Do not place
a heavy object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
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 16:9Color bars or images that remain static for a long timeCharacter 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.

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.
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.

Precaution
Page 7

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
cl eaning cloth, or a soft cl oth sli ghtly d ampen ed 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.
