Example of plug types

for 100 to 120 V AC for 200 to 240 V AC for 240 V AC only

The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.

Installation

Do not install or leave the display:

• In places subject to extreme temperatures, for example near a radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the display to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could cause deformations of the casing or malfunctions.

• In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.

• The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

• Leave some space around the unit. Otherwise, adequate aircirculation may be blocked causing overheating and cause fire or damage the unit.

20 cm

10 cm

• Near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field, such as a TV or various other household appliances.

• In places subject to inordinate amounts of dust, dirt, or sand, for example near an open window or an outdoor exit. If setting up temporarily in an outdoor environment, be sure to take adequate precautions against airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise irreparable malfunctions could occur.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this Apparatus to rain or moisture.

• Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

• To prevent fire, keep inflammable objects or naked lights (e.g. candles) away from the unit.

• Do not place the unit near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

VOL

10 cm

• Do not push on or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity or cause LCD panel malfunctions.

• If the display is used in a cold place, a residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen returns to normal as the temperature rises to a normal operating level.

• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image may appear for a while. The residual image will eventually disappear.

• The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.

About the built-in stereo speakers

Be sure to keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and floppy discs away from the speaker’s opening as the speakers generate a magnetic field. This magnetic field may affect data stored on magnetic tapes and discs.

Note on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

Please note that the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology. However, black points or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen, and irregular colored stripes or brightness may appear on the LCD screen. This is not malfunction. (Effective dots: more than 99.99%)

Maintenance

• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning your display.

• Clean the LCD screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar additive as this may scratch the LCD screen’s coating.

• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

• Note that material deterioration or LCD screen coating degradation may occur if the display is exposed to volatile solvents such as insecticide, or if prolonged contact is maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.
