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.
Check regularly if the attaching screws are not loose. If
the screws connecting the equipment and the unit are
loose, the unit may fall and cause an injury.

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
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 monitor is not to be used for
a prolonged period of time.
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 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 organic light-emitting
diode, 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
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 DC power cable from the
monitor before performing maintenance. When
connecting the DC power cable after performing
maintenance, turn off the unit.
Precaution

Page 6
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 a cleaning cloth or
a soft dry cloth to remove dirt.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a cleaning cloth
or a soft clot h slightly dampen ed with a mi ld d etergent
solution, and then clean the screen surface with a 50 to
70 v/v% concentration of isopropyl alcohol or a 76.9 to
81.4 v/v% concentration of ethanol.
The screen may become scratched if the cleaning cloth
is dusty.
Never use strong solvents such as 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.
