Precaution
On Safety
• Operate the unit on 100-240 V AC only.
• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc. is
located on the AC adaptor.
• 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.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
On Installation
• Prevent internal heat build-up allowing adequate air
circulation.
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 near heat sources such as
radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or
shock.
• Do not place the monitor near equipment which
generates magnetism, such as a transformer or high
voltage power lines.
About the LCD Display Panel
• Although the LCD display panel is made with high-
precision technology, black dots may appear or bright
points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear
constantly on the LCD screen. And a color shade or
bight shade may appear according to a viewing angle.
These are structural properties of the LCD panel and
are not malfunctions.
• The LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology and more than 99.99% of the picture
element is intact. However, some of the picture
element may not appear or some of the picture element
may appear constantly.
• 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, 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.
Maintenance
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent, such as benzine.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with
sharp or abrasive items such as a ball-point pen or
screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a
scratched picture panel.
• Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass
cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner
containing an anti static solution or similar additive as
this may scratch the screen’s coating.
Disposal of the Unit
• Do not dispose of the unit with general waste.
Do not include the monitor with household waste.
• The fluorescent tube includes mercury. Dispose of the
monitor in accordance with the regulations of your
local sanitation authority.
Recommendation to Use more than
One Unit
• As problems can occasionally occur for the monitor,
when the monitor is used for safety control of
personnel, assets or stable picture, or for emergencies,
we strongly recommend you use more than one unit or
prepare a spare unit.
