Notes on Use (continued)
Recommendations (continued)
Avoid direct sunlight or steam.
•Do not install this product in direct sunlight or near heating equipment. Doing so may adversely influence the chassis or components.
•Leaving this product in locations such as vehicles with closed windows that become excessively hot may deform the chassis or cause this product to malfunction.
Avoid using this product in rooms and locations subject to sudden changes in temperature.
•Doing so may impair the definition of the display.
Use in low-temperature rooms and locations
•If this product is installed in a cold room or location, smears may appear in the picture or the picture may be delayed on screen. This is not a malfunction. These phenomena improve as room temperature is restored.
