Additional Information

!Do not place anything on the display when it is opened. Also, do not attempt to carry out angle adjustment, or open/close the display by hand. Applying strong force to the display may damage it.

!Do not push the LCD screen with much force as this may scratch it.

!Be careful not to place anything between the display and the main body when the display is opening or closing. If an object gets between the display and main body, the display may stop working.

!Be careful of fingers, long hair, and loose articles of clothing which could possibly get caught between the display and the main body and cause serious injury.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen

!If the display is near the vent of an air con- ditioner when it is opened, make sure that air from the air conditioner is not blowing on it. Heat from the heater may damage the LCD screen, and cool air from the cool- er may cause moisture to form inside the display resulting in possible damage. Also, if the display is cooled down by the cooler, the screen may become dark, or the life span of the small fluorescent tube used in- side the display may be shortened.

!Small black dots or white dots (bright dots) may appear on the LCD screen. These are due to the characteristics of the LCD screen and do not indicate a problem with the display.

!At low temperatures, the LCD screen may be dark for a while after the power is turned on.

!The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is exposed to direct sunlight.

!When using a portable phone, keep the an- tenna of the portable phone away from the display to prevent disruption of the video by

the appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.

Keeping the display in good condition

!When wiping the screen, take care not to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners.

Small fluorescent tube

!A small fluorescent tube is used inside the display to illuminate the LCD screen.

—The fluorescent tube should last for ap- proximately 10 000 hours, depending on operating conditions. (Using the display at low temperatures reduces the service life of the fluorescent tube.)

—When the fluorescent tube reaches the end of its useful life, the screen will be dark and the image will no longer be projected. If this happens, consult your

dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station.
