About the LCD Display Panel
The LCD 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

Precaution
10
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 liquid crystal display, such
“stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These
problems are not a malfunction.
Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the
unit by a window.
Do not push or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place
a heavy object on the LCD screen. This may cause the

If the unit is used in a cold place, a residual image may
appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When
the monitor becomes warm, the screen returns to
normal.
The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
About the Screen Protect Panel
The screen protect panel is made of toughened glass, but
there is a possibility that it may crack. Handle with care.
Avoid strong impact, such as dropping from a high
place.
Do not damage the panel with a sharp object. The glass
may crack due to the damage.
On a Long Period of Use
Due to the characteristics of LCD panel, 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.
On Burn-in
For LCD panel, permanent burn-in may occur if still
images are displayed in the same position on the screen
continuously, or repeatedly over extended periods.
Images that may cause burn-in
Masked images with aspect ratios other than 17:9 for
the LMD-X310S and 16:9 for the LMD-X550S
Color bars or images that remain static for a long time
Character or message displays that indicate settings or
the operating state
To reduce the risk of burn-in
Turn off the character displays
Press the MENU button to turn off the character
displays. To turn off the character displays of the

Screen protect panel
OptiContrast panel
The “OptiContrast” design that fills up the air layer
between the LCD panel and screen protect panel with
bonding resin is employed. By eliminating the air layer,
this panel prevents diffused reflection and decrease in
contrast. It also prevents condensation due to rapid
temperature change.
Control panel
Assigns functions frequently used during an operation
to buttons on the front surface of the monitor. The panel
provides an user interface superior in operability
through navigation by luminescent colors and status of
the buttons.
Flat surface for better maintenance
The design allows the user to easily wipe liquids and gel
off the LCD panel and control buttons – ensuring a high
standard of disinfection and cleanliness.
Grip that is easy to hold
The easy-to-grip ergonomic design enables the user to
make tiny adjustments simply and quickly.
Simple connector notation
All the connectors face downwards, allowing for easy
and organized cable connection.

Using this unit for medical purposes
This equipment’s connectors are not isolated.
Do not connect any device other than one which
conforms to IEC60601-1.
When an information technology device or AV device
that uses an alternating current is connected, current
leakage may result in an electric shock to the patient or
operator.
If use of such a device is unavoidable, isolate its power
supply by connecting an isolation transformer, or by
connecting an isolator between the connecting cables.
After implementing these measures, confirm that the
reduced risk now conforms to IEC60601-1.
