8. Avoid operation at low temperatures.
The response speed of the liquid crystal decreases as the temperature decreases. Therefore, it is
recommended to use the monitor at room temperature.
9. Caution for condensation.
When the monitor is used in conditions where the temperature abruptly changes, the surfaces
outside and inside monitor may get condensation.
And if it is used leaving condensation, it can cause deterioration of quality and trouble.
If the device has condensation, please do not turn on the power until water drops disappear
completely.
10. Avoid operation or storage in a place exposed to corrosive gas.
Operation or storage in a place where any corrosive gas such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide,
chlorine or ammonia is generated may lead to a significant reduction in the monitor service life.
It may also cause failure or electric leakage.
Also avoid using the monitor in a location exposed to high salty wind.
11. Do not use this monitor for critical applications such as space application, nuclear control
system, or medical equipment involving human life.
12. Considerations when storing the monitor in a hard carrying case.
The LCD panel used for this monitor has a very delicate structure that is composed of multiple
layers of expensive films. Therefore, the following considerations must be taken into account
when storing the monitor in a hard case.
If the monitor that has been stored at low temperature for a long time is suddenly exposed to
high temperature environment, dew condensation may occur. When you store the monitor in
the case for a long time, m m ake sure to store at a temperature near room temperature and
avoid a sudden temperature change when taking out the monitor from the case.
If you are planning to store the monitor in the case for a long time, make sure to r r eplace silica
gels, etc. in a regular basis and store the monitor at proper humidity as the humidity in the
case can cause corrosion.
If the monitor is stored in the case with water droplets or condensation for a long time, the
humidity stays in the case and can cause corrosion. M M ake sure to allow the monitor to dry well
before storing in the case.
Quality of LCD panel
Note that because the LCD panel mounted on the monitor is manufactured through the use of
high-precision technology, 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, but 0.01% or less of them
may be lacking in brightness or lit up constantly.
Internal fan
The internal fan does not run constantly but automatically starts running when the internal
temperature of the monitor rises. When the environmental temperature is low, the internal fan
may not be running, which indicates no fault condition.
At power-on, the fan rotates for a moment for checking its own performance.
In the case of outdoor use, even if the ambient temperature is low, the fan may start running
when the internal temperature of the monitor rises.
Suppose that the fan does not operate properly at power-on or at high temperatures. In such
vi
