Precautions - Sony LMD-150MD Instructions For Use Manual

Precautions

On safety
• Operate the unit on 100 – 240 V AC only.
• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc. is located on the rear.
• 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.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for several days or more.
• To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by
grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
On installation
• Prevent internal heat build-up allowing adequate air
circulation.
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 near heat sources such as
radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or
shock.
• Do not place the monitor near equipment which
generates magnetism, such as a transformer or high
voltage power lines.
• When you install the unit to a wall, ceiling, mount
arm or operating light, consult to qualified personnel.
Handling the LCD screen
• Bright or dark points of lights (red, blue or green)
may appear on the LCD screen. This is not a
malfunction. The LCD screen is made with high-
precision technology and more than 99.99 % of the
picture element is intact. However, some of the
picture element may not appear or some of the picture
element may appear constantly.
• 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 monitor's screen.
Do not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor's
screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
• If the unit is used in a cold place, a residual image
may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction.
When the monitor becomes warm, the screen returns
to normal.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a
residual image may appear. The residual image will
eventually disappear.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
About the fluorescent tube
A specially designed fluorescent tube is installed as the
lighting apparatus for this unit. If the LCD screen
becomes dark, unstable or does not turn on, consult
your Sony dealer.
Maintenance
• 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 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 panel.
• Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass
cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner
containing an antistatic solution or similar additive as
this may scratch the screen's coating.
Disposal of the unit
• Do not dispose of the unit with general waste.
Do not include the monitor with household waste.
• The fluorescent tube includes mercury. Dispose of
the monitor in accordance with the regulations of
your local sanitation authority.
Recommendation to use more
than one unit
As problems can occasionally occur for the monitor,
when the monitor is used for safety control of
personnel, assets or stable picture/sound, or for
emergencies, we strongly recommend you use more
than one unit or prepare a spare unit.
On repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container which to transport the
unit.
If you have any questions about this unit, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.
