soft cleaning cloth slightly dampened with water.
• Never use alcohol, benzine, thinner, acid or alkaline
cleaning solvent, abrasive cleaners, or chemically-treated

Cleaning the cabinet

• Gently wipe off stains using a dry, soft cloth. Wipe off
grimy stains using a cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent, then wipe the area again using a dry, soft cloth.

so may damage the finish of the surface or remove the
markings on the unit.
• There is a danger that the screen will be damaged if wiped
with a cloth that is dirty.
• Allowing the unit to come into prolonged contact with
rubber or plastic products may alter the unit or cause the
protective coating to come off.

• Keeping the LCD panel facing toward the sun for a long
time will damage the panel. Take this into account when
you install the unit outdoor or by a window.
• Do not forcefully press or scratch the LCD screen. Do not
place objects on the screen. Doing so may disrupt the
display or damage the LCD screen.
• You may find that the screen is showing horizontal stripes
or that it has afterimage. The screen may also look darker
when using the unit in a cool environment. These do not
indicate a screen malfunction. The screen will return to
normal when the ambient temperature is higher.
• If a static image is left on the screen for an extended
period, its image may become temporarily burned onto the
screen thereby leaving a ghost of the original image.

avoid this, please use the screen saver function provided to
equalize use over the entire screen. If ghosting occurs, use
the screen saver function, or use some kind of video or
imaging software to provide constant movement on the
screen. If light ghosting (image burn-in) occurs,it may
become less conspicuous, but once burn-in occurs, it will
never completely disappear.
• The panel surface, cabinet or frame may warm up during
use.This does not a problem.
