Precaution

About the battery pack, AC adaptor and charger

A battery pack, AC adaptor and charger are not supplied.

Use a compatible battery pack or AC adaptor (pages 14, 16).

If you do not have a battery pack or AC adaptor, purchase them separately.

Handling the LCD screen

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

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 disposal

- Do not dispose of this unit with ordinary garbage. Do not throw the monitor away with garbage that will be placed in a landfill.

On this unit
