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.
If you do not use the appropriate cord, this
display will not conform to mandatory FCC
standards.
The equipment should be installed near an
easily accessible outlet.
Installation
Do not install or leave the display:
s
In places subject to extreme temperatures, for
example near a radiator, heating vent, or in
direct sunlight. Subjecting the display to high
temperatures, such as in an automobile
parked in direct sunlight, could cause
deformations of the casing or malfunctions.
s
In places where the display may tip and fall,
such as locations subject to any vibration or
shock or an unstable surface.
s
Near any equipment that generates a strong
magnetic field, such as a TV or various other
household appliances.
s
In places subject to inordinate amounts of
dust, dirt, or sand, for example near an open
window or an outdoor exit. If setting up
temporarily in an outdoor environment, be
sure to take adequate precautions against
airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise irreparable
malfunctions could occur.
s
In places where the display may come in
contact with extreme moisture or liquid, such
as in bathroom or area near pool. Avoid
placing glasses or cups on top of the display
that may cause liquid to spill inside.
Handling the LCD screen
s
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.
s
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.
s
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.
s
If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a
residual image may appear for a while. The
residual image will eventually disappear.
s
The LCD panel becomes warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
for 100 to 120 V AC
for 200 to 240 V AC
For use only with AC adapter, Sony AC-DP001

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.
Handling the headphones
Be sure to remove the headphones before
moving away from the display. If the
headphone cord is pulled away from the display
abruptly, injury or damage may occur.
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 a malfunction.
(Effective dots: more than 99.99%)
Maintenance
s
Be sure to unplug the power cord from the
power outlet before cleaning your display.
s
Clean the LCD 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 LCD
screen's coating.
s
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls first
with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution, then dry off with a soft
cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or
benzine.
s
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 LCD display
screen.
s
Note that material deterioration or LCD screen
coating 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.
Transportation
s
Disconnect all cables from the display and
grasp the support and base sections of the
display stand firmly with both hands when
transporting. If you drop the display, you may
be injured or the display may be damaged.
s
The back panel is designed to come off; do not
lift the display by its back panel alone.
s
When you transport this display for repair or
shipment, use the original carton and packing
materials.
Disposal of the display
s
Do not dispose of this display with general
household waste.
s
The LCD contains a small amount of liquid
crystal and mercury. The fluorescent tube used
in this display also contains mercury. Follow
your local ordinances and regulations for
disposal.
