Chapter 2 Safety
FCC Caution:
Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warnings:
Read, keep and follow all of these instructions for your safety. Heed all
warnings.
Device
Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
If the brightness is adjusted to the minimum, then it might be hard to
see the display screen.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing will be
required under all of the following conditions:
The unit has been exposed to rain or moisture.
Liquid had been spilled or objects have fallen onto the unit.
The unit has been damaged in any way, such as when the
power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
The unit does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
This apparatus must be earthed.
The optional accessories are subject to change without.

Safety
5
Position
Do not block any ventilation openings.
Do not use this unit near water.
Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture, to reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock.
Do not use this unit near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that product
heat.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.
Power Supply Cord
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
unit.
If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power immediately. It is
dangerous to use the unit with a damaged power cord. It may cause
fire or electric shock.
Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by grasping the plug, not
by pulling the cord.
Be sure to connect to a power supply of the specified voltage.

Safety

Precaution:
OLED PANEL
The OLED 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 organic
light-emitting diode, such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously.
These problems are not a malfunction.
Do not leave the screen facing the sun as it can damage the screen.
Take care when you place the unit by a window.
Do not push or scratch the monitor's screen. Do not place a heavy
object on the monitor’s screen. This may cause the screen to lose
uniformity.
The screen and the cabinet become warm during operation. This is not
a malfunction.
On Burn-in
Due to the characteristics of the material used in the OLED panel,
permanent burn-in or reduction in brightness may occur. These
problems are not a malfunction.
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.
On-screen displays such as center markers or area markers.

Safety
7
To reduce the risk of burn-in
Turn off the character and marker displays:
Press the MENU button to turn off the character displays. To turn
off the character or marker displays of the connected equipment,
operate the connected equipment accordingly. 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.
Warm-up time
To provide stable picture quality, turn on the power of the monitor and
leave it in this state for more than 30 minutes.
On a Long Period of Use
Due to an OLED’s panel structure and characteristics of materials in its
design, displaying static images for extended periods, or using the unit
repeatedly in a high temperature/high humidity 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 humidity 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.

Safety

Handling and Maintenance of the Screen
The surface of the screen is specially coated to reduce image
reflection. Make sure to observe the following points as improper
maintenance procedures may impair the screen’s performance. In
addition, the screen is vulnerable to damage. Do not scratch or knock
against it using a hard object.
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet before
performing maintenance.
The surface of the screen is specially coated. Do not attach
adhesive objects, such as stickers, on it. And do not touch the
screen directly.
Wipe the screen surface gently with the supplied cleaning cloth or
a soft dry cloth to remove dirt.
Stubborn stains may be removed with the supplied cleaning cloth,
or a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.
The screen may become scratched if the cleaning cloth is dusty.
Never use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzene, thinner,
acidic or alkaline detergent, detergent with abrasives, or chemical
wipe as these may damage the screen.
Use a blower to remove dust from the screen surface.
On Dew Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or if
ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on the outer
surface of the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is known as
condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the unit and wait until
the condensation clears before operating the unit. Operating the unit
while condensation is present may damage the unit.
