Hinweise
· Aus ergonomischen Gründen wird empfohlen, die
Grundfarbe Blau nicht auf dunklem Untergrund zu verwenden
(schlechte Erkennbarkeit, Augenbelastung bei zu geringem
Zeichenkontrast).
· Aus ergonomischen Gründen (flimmern) sollten nur
Darstellungen bei Vertikalfrequenzen ab 70 Hz (ohne
Zeilensprung) verwendet werden.
· Die Konvergenz des Bildes kann sich auf Grund des
Magnetfeldes am Ort der Aufstellung aus der korrekten
Grundeinstellung verändern. Zur Korrektur empfiehlt es sich
deshalb, die Regler an der Frontseite für Konvergenz so
einzustellen, daß die getrennt sichtbaren Farblinien für Rot,
Grün und Blau bei z.B. der Darstellung eines Buchstabens
zur Deckung (Konvergenz) gelangen.
Siehe hierzu auch die Erklärungen zu Konvergenz.

Precautions
Warning on power connections
· Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord,
be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.
For the customers in the U.S.A.
If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will not
conform to mandatory FCC standards.
· Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds
after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the
screen's surface to discharge.
· After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized
(degaussed) for about 5 seconds. This generates a strong
magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored
on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to
keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away
from the monitor.
Installation
Do not install the monitor in the following places:
· on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes
· near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight
· in a place subject to severe temperature changes
· in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock
· on an unstable surface
· near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a
transformer or high voltage power lines
· near or on an electrically charged metal surface
Maintenance
· 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.
· Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or
abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type
of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.
· 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 alcohol or
benzene.
Transportation
When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the
original carton and packing materials.
Use of the stand
Insert the supplied stand into the groove to adjust the angle of the
monitor. You can use the stand in either the vertical or horizontal
position.
Use of the groove on top (HMD-A200 only)
You can put a photo frame or CD case in the groove.
Note
Never use the slit for any other purpose.
Use of the headphones' hook (HMD-A100 only)
Insert the supplied hook into one of the holes (ten on both the left
and right sides) on either the left or right side of the monitor.
Note
Never hang heavy objects from the hook other than the headphones.
The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible
outlet.
