Specifications 22
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 solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner, or acid, alkaline, or abrasive detergents, or chemical cleaning cloths, 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 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.
