Precautions
Warning on power connections
Use the supplied power cord. If you use a power cord other than
this, select the type of plug as illustrated below.
For safe power connection, make the ground connection first, then
plug the power cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect the power
cord, first unplug the power cord, and then remove the ground
connection.
Ground lead
Keep caps for the cable and the ground lead
out of reach of small children
They may accidentally swallow the caps, resulting
in suffocation.
In such case, consult a doctor immediately. Be
careful not to let babies swallow these caps.
Installation
Do not install or leave the display:
• In places subject to extremely high temperature.
Leaving the display in a sun-heated car in summer time, for
example, may cause deformation or malfunction of the display.
• In places subject to high temperature, for example, places
subject to direct sunlight or near equipment that generates heat.
Leaving the display in such places may cause deformation or
malfunction of the display.
• In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.
• Near equipment that generates a strong magnetic field.
• In locations exposed to extreme dust or sand, for example, on
a beach or sandy area.
If you must set up the display in such locations, be careful not
to let sand get in the display. If sand accidentally get in the
product, it may cause a malfunction or an unrepairable failure
to the product.
• The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the
ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-
cloths, curtains, etc.
• Leave some space around the unit. Otherwise, adequate air-
circulation may be blocked causing overheating and cause fire
or damage the unit.

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 display by a
window or in an outdoor location.
• Do not push on or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy
object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose
uniformity, or cause LCD panel malfunctions.
• If the display is used in a cold place, a residual image may
appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen
returns to normal as the temperature rises to a normal operating
level.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image
may appear for a while. The residual image will eventually
disappear.
• The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a
malfunction.
About the built-in stereo speakers
Be sure to keep magnetic recording media (such as tapes and
discs) away from the speaker's opening as the speakers generate
a magnetic field. This magnetic field may damage data stored on
them.
Note on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
Please note that the LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology. However, black points or bright points of light (red,
blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen, and
irregular colored stripes or brightness may appear on the LCD
screen. This is not malfunction.
