On Safety

•Operate the unit only with a power source as specified in the “Specifications” section.

•A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, 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.

•Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a damaged power cord.

•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more.

•Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.

•The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

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

•Bright or dark points of lights (red, blue or green) may appear on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction. The LCD screen is made with high-precision technology with more than 99.99 % of the picture elements intact. However, some picture elements may not appear intermittently.

•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 still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image may appear. The residual image will eventually disappear.

•The screen and the cabinet become warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.
