To Protect the LCD Screen
❒Do not allow direct sunlight to fall on the dis-
play when this unit is not being used.
Extended exposure to direct sunlight can
result in LCD screen malfunction due to the
resulting high temperatures.
❒When using a portable phone, keep the
antenna of the portable phone away from the
display to prevent disruption of the video by
the appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.
❒Never touch the screen with anything besides
your finger when operating the Touch Panel
functions. The screen can scratch easily.
For Viewing LCD Comfortably
Due to its construction, the view angle of the LCD
screen is limited. The viewing angle can be
increased, however, by using BRIGHTNESS to
adjust the black density of the video. When using
for the first time, adjust the black density in
accordance with the viewing angle to adjust for
clear viewing. DIMMER can also be used to
adjust the brightness of the LCD screen itself to
suit your personal preference.
