Table of Contents

Precaution

 The screen and the cabinet become warm during

operation. This is not a malfunction.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Precaution

9

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.

About this manual

The instructions in this manual are for the following
two models:

 PVM-A250
 PVM-A170

The illustration of PVM-A250 is used for the
explanations. Any differences in specifications are
clearly indicated in the text.

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.
