Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this DM-3105 HD LCD PICTURE MONITOR.
This manual gives the information necessary for using the DM-3105 including the method of operation and
precautions.
Inappropriate handling may result in an accident. Be absolutely sure to read this manual so that you can
correctly use the DM-3105.
After reading this manual, store it safely so that it will not be lost.
Safety Precautions
警告
WARNING
About This Equipment
Do not strike or subject this equipment to strong impact. This may result in
leakage of liquid crystal, damage to equipment, bursting, overheating, or fire.
Do not use this equipment in a location where there is a risk of catching fire
or explosion.
Do not place in a food heating appliance such as a microwave oven or in a
high-pressure container. This may result in overheating of equipment,
generation of smoke, generation of fire, or destruction of circuit
components.
This equipment includes high-voltage parts inside. Do not disassemble,
repair, or modify this equipment as there is a risk of electric shock or burn
injury and doing so may result in damage to equipment.
If thunder occurs during use outdoors, immediately turn off the power,
disconnect the power cord from the main unit, and move to a safe location.
About the Power Cord
When unplugging the power cord, always grasp the plug to unplug.
Do not unduly bend or twist the power cord. This may result in fire.
Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. This may damage the cord,
resulting in fire or electric shock.
iii
About Foreign Particles
Do not spill liquid inside or drop easily flammable or metallic objects inside.
Continued use under these conditions may result in fire, electric shock, or
damage to equipment.
注 意
CAUTION
About the Power Supply
Use 8 to 18V DC for the power supplied to this equipment.
To prevent equipment damage and/or failure, we recommend the use of the
supplied AC/DC adaptor. Pay attention to the rated voltage if for some
reason you use another power supply.
After power is turned off, do not immediately turn it on again. This may result
in damage to equipment.
Note that there is a risk of adverse effects on audio if the same DC power
supply is used for the mic, amp, speakers, or other acoustic components.
About the Liquid Crystal
Due to the characteristics of liquid crystal, some pixels may be missing (or
bright or flashing).
Do not touch the liquid crystal if it leaks from the LCD panel.
If the LCD panel accidentally breaks and liquid crystal leaks out, do not put it in your mouth, breathe it,
or allow it to contact your skin. If you do somehow get liquid crystal in your mouth or eyes, wash the
affected area immediately with water. In addition, if liquid crystal gets on your skin or clothing,
immediately wipe it away with alcohol or other agent and wash away with soap and water. There may
be damage to skin or clothing if contact is allowed to continue.
Beware of broken glass of the LCD panel.
If the LCD panel breaks, take great care not to cut your hands on the glass shards.
Injury may result if you do somehow touch the broken surface.
iv
Introduction
Handle the LCD panel with care as described below as it is an extremely
high-precision instrument.
• Wiping the LCD panel with benzene, thinner, or other active agent may result in deformation.
• If water (or salt water) is allowed to stay in contact with the LCD panel, this may result in change in
color or blemishes.
• If the LCD panel is subjected to direct ultraviolet light for an extended period, there is a risk of
degradation of display quality due to lowered contrast caused by bronzing of the deflection plate.
• Irregular colors may result if moisture gets inside the LCD panel due to condensation or by other
means.
• Directly striking or bumping into the LCD panel may result in cracking or other damage to the LCD
panel.
• Do not disassemble the LCD panel as it is dangerous if leaked liquid crystal comes in contact with
skin.
Take care when handling the liquid crystal protective panel.
Gently wipe away any grease or dirt that contacts the liquid crystal protective panel using a cleaner
for office equipment. Wiping forcefully may result in scratching or damage to equipment.
About Shock of Impact
As a precision instrument, there is a risk of damage to equipment if the
equipment is subjected to shock of impact. Take sufficient care when
moving the equipment.
Do not drop the main unit.
About the Installation and Operation Environment
Installation in the following locations may result in accident or damage to
equipment.
• Locations where the ambient temperature is outside the range 0 to 40℃. (*1)
• Locations where the ambient humidity is outside the range 30 to 80%RH.
• Locations near an air conditioning unit, or where there is condensation or sudden changes in
temperature.
• Locations subject to direct sunlight. (*2)
• Locations where there is corrosive gas or excessive dust.
• Locations where there are strong magnetic fields.
• Locations where there is a risk of equipment being sprayed with airborne droplets such as water, oil,
or chemicals.
• Locations where vibrations reach equipment through the floor.
• Unstable locations.
v
To ensure normal operation of this equipment, take care that the following
conditions are met.
• Do not place heavy objects such as a monitor on top of this equipment.
• Avoid placying objects in the immediate surrounding of this equipment.
(*1) If the surface temperature of the LCD panel exceeds 60℃, there is a risk that the backlight or
other parts may be damaged.
(*2) If the LCD panel is subjected to direct ultraviolet light for an extended period, there is a risk of
degradation of display quality due to lowered contrast caused by bronzing of the deflection
plate.
