Precautions
Operating or storage location
Avoid operating or storing the system in the
following locations:
• Extremely hot or cold places
• Humid or dusty places
• Places exposed to strong vibration
• Close to sources of strong magnetism
• Close to sources of powerful
electromagnetic radiation, such as radios
or TV transmitters
• Noisy places
LCD screen
• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to
the sun. Doing so may damage the screen
surface.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or
place objects on top of the system. The
image may become uneven or the LCD
panel may be damaged.
• If the system is used in a cold place, a
smear may occur in the picture or the
picture may become dark. This does not
indicate a failure. These phenomena
improve as the temperature rises.
• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are
displayed continuously. It may disappear
after a few moments.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when the
system is in use. This is not a malfunction.
LCD display panel
• Although the LCD display panel is made
with high-precision technology, black dots
may appear or bright points of light (red,
blue, or green) may appear constantly on
the LCD screen. Color stripes and uneven
brightness may also appear when you view
from specific viewing angles. This is a
structural property of the LCD panel and is
not a malfunction.
Built-in speakers
The speakers generate magnetism. To avoid
damaging the data, keep magnetic tapes and
disks away from the speakers.

Cleaning
• Before cleaning, disconnect the power
cord from the AC outlet.
• The LCD screen surface is finished with a
special coating. To remove dust from the
screen surface, wipe gently with a soft, dry
cloth.
• Do not use volatile solvents such as
alcohol, benzene or thinners as they may
damage the surface finishes.
• When you use chemical cleaning cloth,
observe the instructions that come with it.
• Do not apply volatile solvents such as an
insecticide to the screen, or allow rubber
or plastic objects to touch to the screen for
a long time, as they may damage the
surface finishes.
