radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the
display to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile
parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could cause
deformations of the casing or malfunctions.
• In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.
• The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the
ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-
cloths, curtains, etc.

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.
• 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 equipment, tapes, and floppy
discs away from the speaker's opening as the speakers generate a
magnetic field. This magnetic field may affect data stored on
magnetic tapes and discs.
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.

Maintenance
• Be sure to unplug the mains lead from the mains before

abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type
of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

degradation may occur if the display is exposed to volatile
solvents such as insecticide, or if prolonged contact is
maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.
