Precautions Upon Use
In order to use the monitor safely, read through this manual and pay attention to the following
points in particular.
1. Do not use any power supply other than the specified one (AC/DC).
2. Do not give a shock to the monitor.
Be very careful to keep the monitor from shocks because glass is used inside the LCD.
3. Do not use or store the monitor in the following places.
Place where the ambient temperature is out of spec
When installing the monitor on a monitor shelf, switcher table, rack, etc., make sure in advance
that the temperature of the installation location is within the specified range.
In the case of an outdoor setup, even if the ambient temperature is within the specified range,
the inside of the monitor may be heated by direct sunlight. Therefore, keep radiation in mind.
(Avoid direct sunlight.)
Never block the air outlet at the rear of the monitor and the air inlet at the side. Make sure in
particular that a blackout curtain or the like does not block the air outlet.
Place exposed to rain, snow or high humidity
Use of the monitor in such a place will cause electric leakage or failure.
4. Please avoid direct sunlight on the screen.
Exposure of the LCD screen to direct sunlight for a long time will degrade the film. Therefore be
careful of direct sunlight when using the monitor outdoors.
5. Caution for the panel surface
Be careful not to touch the LCD panel front surface with bare hands, unless necessary. When
wiping the dust off the surface, use soft, dry cloth and take care not to rub the surface strongly.
Do not use thinner or benzene.
6. Do not touch liquid crystal leaked from the monitor's display surface.
If the monitor's display surface is accidentally broken and the liquid crystal leaks, be careful
never to put the liquid in your mouth, inhale it and allow it on your skin. If the liquid gets into
your eye or mouth, immediately rinse it with water and get medical attention.
If the liquid contacts your skin or clothes, immediately wipe it off using alcohol or the like and
wash the stained spot with soap and water. Do not leave the liquid intact, because otherwise
your skin or clothes may be affected.
7. Caution when used for a long continuous display
If the LCD panel is used for a long continuous display of fixed bright images, still images, etc. or
continuously used under hot and humid environment, after-images, lower luminance, seizure,
stains, streaks, discoloration etc., may occur due to the structure of the LCD panel.
Please avoid a long continuous display of videos with especially bright still images, white displays
of computer windows, videos that are smaller than the display area because of the aspect change,
etc. Also avoid continuously using it in a closed room that can be hot and humid or near outlets of
air conditioning equipment.
A long continuous use with such videos and environment can cause the LCD panel to age at a
faster rate.
In order to prevent the aging phenomenon, we recommend to avoid a long continuous display of
fixed bright images or still images and lower the brightness, as well as to turn off the power of the
main unit when it is not used.
(After-images may be gradually resolved by changing the screen display.)
