Be careful of the movable structure of the power
indicator and remote control sensor.
As factory default, the power indicator and remote
•
control sensor are stored in the main unit. For normal
use, pull out the remote control sensor from the edge
side of the main unit by operating the lever on the
rear panel. Depending on the setup condition such as
when using the multi display, store the remote control
sensor in the main unit. (see page 14)
Do not grab the liquid crystal panel.
Do not forcibly press the liquid crystal panel, or push
•
it with a pointed object. Applying a strong force to
the liquid crystal panel will cause unevenness of the
screen display, resulting in malfunction.
Depending on the temperature or humidity
conditions, uneven brightness may be observed.
This is not a malfunction.
This unevenness will disappear while applying current
•
continuously. If not, consult the distributor.
Cleaning and maintenance
The front of the display panel has been specially
treated. Wipe the surface of the display panel gently
using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft,
•
lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or
water in which neutral detergent has been diluted 100
times, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the
same type until the surface is dry.
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with
•
fingernails or other hard objects, otherwise the
surface may become damaged. Furthermore, avoid
contact with volatile substances such as insect
sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of
the surface may be adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry
cloth.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in
•
water to which a small amount of neutral detergent
has been added and then wring the cloth dry. Use this
cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a
dry cloth.
Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact
•
with the surface of the Display. If water droplets get
inside the unit, operating problems may result.
Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect
•
sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of
the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the
coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for
long periods in contact with articles made from rubber
