Precautions

On handling your unit

Do not lift or carry the unit by holding the stand only. Inclination of the unit may cause a malfunction.

Do not drop or subject the unit to excessive shock. Doing so may result in data loss, or cause a malfunction.

Do not place the unit in locations subject to extreme changes in temperature such as in direct sunlight or near a heater. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

Do not insert any metallic object, such as a paper clip, into the unit.

Do not place the unit in a location subject to mechanical vibration, or in an unstable position.

Do not use this unit in a location subject to excessive dust since this unit is manufactured using extremely high precision technology. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

Do not use this unit in a high humidity location.

Do not use the unit in a poorly ventilated location.

Do not place the unit near objects that are magnetized, or that generate electromagnetic energy. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

On the LCD screen

The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect operation or signify malfunction.

Do not place or drop objects on the screen, or do not lean on the screen with your hands or elbows.

Do not scratch the screen with a cutter or other sharp tool.

On moisture condensation

If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside or outside the unit. In this state, your unit may not operate correctly, and may cause a malfunction. If moisture condensation occurs, wipe off any moisture with a dry soft cloth. If the screen gets cold, turn off the unit and wait about an hour for any moisture to evaporate.

On parts replacement

This unit includes parts with a finite life expectancy; deterioration of such parts will depend on usage environment and frequency. Replace worn parts if significant performance degradation occurs as a result.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, consult the local dealers in your area. See “Getting Help” (page 71) for details, and visit our online support site.
