Overview

Precautions

On Safety

• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified
in the "Specifications" section.
• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, 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.

Precautions
Chapter

Handling the Screen

• The 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 panel, 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.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.

On Burn-in

Due to the characteristics of the material used in the
OLED panel for its high-precision images, permanent
burn-in may occur if still images are displayed in the same
position on the screen continuously, or repeatedly over
extended periods.
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
