Precautions On safety

  • A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the rear of the unit.
  • 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.
  • Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more.
  • To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself. Cleaning Be sure to unplug the power cord before cleaning the display. On cleaning the display Do not allow hard objects to scrape, or pound the display screen surface (protective Panel), or allow objects to hit the screen surface because that can damage the screen surface. The display screen has a special surface treatment. Follow the instructions below to prevent impair performance because of improper handling when cleaning.
  • Gently remove any dust from the screen surface with a soft cloth. A cleaning cloth or cloth for wiping glasses is preferred.
  • If it is excessively dirty, clean the screen surface with a soft cleaning cloth slightly dampened with water.
  • Never use alcohol, benzine, thinner, acid or alkaline cleaning solvent, abrasive cleaners, or chemically-treated cloths because they will damage the screen surface. Cleaning the cabinet
  • Gently wipe off stains using a dry, soft cloth. Wipe off grimy stains using a cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent, then wipe the area again using a dry, soft cloth.
  • Do not use alcohol, benzine, thinner or insecticide. Doing so may damage the finish of the surface or remove the markings on the unit.

  • Allowing the unit to come into prolonged contact with rubber or plastic products may alter the unit or cause the protective coating to come off. On the LCD panel
  • Keeping the LCD panel facing toward the sun for a long time will damage the panel. Take this into account when you install the unit outdoor or by a window.
  • Do not forcefully press or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place objects on the screen. Doing so may disrupt the display or damage the LCD screen.
  • You may find that the screen is showing horizontal stripes or that it has afterimage. The screen may also look darker when using the unit in a cool environment. These do not indicate a screen malfunction. The screen will return to normal when the ambient temperature is higher.
  • If a static image is left on the screen for an extended period, its image may become temporarily burned onto the screen thereby leaving a ghost of the original image. However, the screen will return to normal over time. To avoid this, please use the screen saver function provided to equalize use over the entire screen. If ghosting occurs, use the screen saver function, or use some kind of video or imaging software to provide constant movement on the screen. If light ghosting (image burn-in) occurs,it may become less conspicuous, but once burn-in occurs, it will never completely disappear.

Preparations for Using the Network Functions Precautions

  • The software specifications of this display are subject to change for improvements without notice.
  • Screens shown by application software may differ slightly from the illustrations shown in this manual.
  • For safety, connect the port of this display only to a network where there is no danger of excessive voltage or voltage surges.
  • The steps described in this manual are guaranteed only for use under the following environment conditions.
  • When using the network functions of the BKM- FW50, see the operating manual of each optional adaptor. Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP/Windows Vista Browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
  • To ensure security on the network, setting a user name and password is recommended. For information on how to make these settings, see the section “Setup screen” (page 36). For security settings, refer to your network administrator. Setting an IP address The display can be connected to a network with 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN cable. When connected to a LAN, the IP addresses of the display can be set using one of the following two methods. Consult your network administrator regarding details about IP address selection.
  • Assigning a fixed IP address to the display Normally this method should be used. Note that in factory setting, the display is set to obtain an IP address automatically.
  • Automatically obtaining an IP address If the network to which the display is connected has a DHCP server, you can have the DHCP server automatically assign an IP address. Note that in this case the IP address may change every time the display in which the display is installed is turned on. Before setting the IP address, connect the LAN cable to the display to establish the network. After about 30 seconds, turn on the display, and then start making the desired settings.
