Precaution
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 rear panel.
• 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.
About the Fluorescent Tube
A specially designed fluorescent tube is installed as the
lighting apparatus for this unit. If the LCD screen
becomes dark, unstable or does not turn on, consult your
Sony dealer.
On Cleaning
To keep the unit looking brand-new, periodically clean it
with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents
such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleansers since
they will damage the cabinet. As a safety precaution,
unplug the unit before cleaning it.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container which to transport the
unit.
On Mounting on a Rack
Leave 1U space empty above and below the monitor to
ensure adequate air circulation or install a fan to
maintain the monitor’s performance.
If you have any questions about this unit, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.
On Fan Error
The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the “FAN
ERROR” message is displayed, turn off the power and
contact an authorized Sony dealer.
