• 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.

for several days or more.

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, 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.
• There is a danger that the screen will be damaged if wiped
with a cloth that is dirty.
• 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 displayed for a long time, screen burn
or a residual image may occur. A residual image will
disappear over time. If ghosting occurs, use the
screensaver 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.
• The panel surface, cabinet or frame may warm up during
use.This does not a problem.
Bright spots and dark spots on the LCD
screen
Although the LCD screen is manufactured by high
technology with an effective resolution of at least 99.99%, it
may show dark spots (pixel defects) or bright spots (red,
blue, green, etc.) that are continuously lit or flashing. These
are phenomenon of LCD screens that generated sometimes
by pixel defects. These may occur after the device has been
used for an extended period of time.
These are not screen malfunctions.
