On simultaneous use with an
electrosurgical knife, etc.
If this unit is used together with an electrosurgical knife,
etc., the picture may be disturbed, warped or otherwise
abnormal as a result of strong radio waves or voltages
from the device. This is not a malfunction.
When you use this unit simultaneously with a device
from which strong radio waves or voltages are emitted,
confirm the effect of this before using such devices, and
install this unit in a way that minimizes the effect of
radio wave interference.
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.
LCD image display
Due the physical characteristics of LCD panels, there
may be a decrease in brightness or change in color
temperature over a long period of use. These problems
are not a malfunction.
In addition, these occurrences will not affect recorded
data.
About the LCD Display Panel
• The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with
high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel
ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion
of pixels may be "stuck': either always off (black),
always on (red, green, or blue}, or flashing. In addition,
over a long period of use, because of the physical
characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such
"stuck'' pixels may appear spontaneously. These
problems are not a malfunction.
• 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 screen. Do not place
a heavy object on the LCD 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
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
On a Long Period of Use
Due to the characteristics ofLCD panel, displaying static
images for extended periods, or using the unit repeatedly
in a high temperature/high hurnidity environments may
cause image smearing, burn-in, areas of which
brightness is permanently changed, lines, or a decrease
in overall brightness.
In particular, continued display of an image smaller than
the monitor screen, such as in a different aspect ratio,
may shorten the life of the unit
Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or
using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high
hurnidity environment such an airtight room, or around
the outlet of an air conditioner.
To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend
reducing brightness slightly, and to turn off the power
whenever the unit is not in use.
On Burn-in
For LCD panel, permanent burn-in may occur if still
images are displayed in the same position on the screen
continuously, or repeatedly over extended periods.
Images that may cause burn-in
• Masked images with aspect ratios other than 16:9
• Color bars or images that remain static for a long time
• Character or message displays that indicate settings or
the operating state
To reduce the risk of burn-in
• Turn off the character displays
Press the MENU button to turn off the character
displays. To turn off the character displays of the
connected equipment, operate the connected
equipment accordingl
y.
For details, refer to the
operation manual of the connected equipment.
• Turn off the power when not in use
Turn off the power if the monitor is not to be used for
a prolonged period of time.
On Temperature Error
When this unit is used in a high temperature
environment and the internal temperature rises, a
temperature error is displayed on the screen. When the
temperature error is displayed, contact an authorized
Sony dealer.
