Precaution

On Safety

• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified
in the "Specifications" section.
• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc., is
located on the bottom.
• 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.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
• Do not carry the monitor by holding the battery.
• After using the unit for a long time, its top and rear
parts (ventilation holes, metal terminals, metal and
surrounding parts etc.) may get hot. Be careful if you
touch it during or after use.
• When using the unit with it attached to a camera, fit
the camera to a tripod for safety.

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.

Handling the LCD Screen

• The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with
high precision technology. 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 liquid crystal display,
such "stuck" pixels may appear spontaneously. These
problems are not a malfunction.
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place
the unit by a window.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor's screen. Do
not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor's screen.
This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
• If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a
residual image may appear on the screen. This is not
a malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the
screen returns to normal.
• If a fixed picture such as a frame of a divided picture
or time code, or a still picture is displayed for a long
time, an image may remain on the screen and be
superimposed as a ghosting image.
• The screen becomes warm during operation. This is
not a malfunction.

On Cleaning

Before cleaning
Be sure to remove the battery first.
On cleaning the monitor screen
The monitor screen surface is especially treated to
reduce reflection of light.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance
of the monitor, take care with respect to the following:
• Wipe the screen gently with a soft cloth such as a
cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such
as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly
dampened with water.
• Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner,
or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical
cleaning cloth, as they will damage the screen surface.
On cleaning the cabinet
• Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly
dampened with mild detergent solution, followed by
wiping with a soft dry cloth.
• Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may
damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the
indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.
• If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the
cabinet may be scratched.
• If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin
product for a long period of time, the finish of the
cabinet may deteriorate or the coating may come off.

On the Battery Terminals

The battery terminals of this unit (the parts that connect
with the battery) are expendable items. Power may not
be supplied to the main unit if the terminal is deformed
or bent due to vibration or impact, or if it rusts due to
long-term outdoor use. We recommend having it
checked periodically for longer use. For a check, consult
your Sony dealer.
