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.

• 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 left on the screen for an extended

period, its image may become temporarily burned onto the
screen thereby leaving a ghost of the original image.

However, the screen will return to normal over time. To
avoid this, please use the screen saver function provided to
equalize use over the entire screen. If ghosting occurs, use
the screen saver 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.
