Recommendation to Use more than One
Unit
As problems can occasionally occur for the
monitor, when the monitor is used for safety
control of personnel, assets or stable picture, or
for emergencies, we strongly recommend you
use more than one unit or prepare a spare unit.
About the Power Connection
Use with the supplied AC power cord.
LCD image display
Due the physical characteristics of LCD panels,
there may be a decrease in brightness or change
in color temperature over a long period of use.
These problems are not a malfunction.
In addition, these occurrences will not affect
recorded data.
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 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 screen to lose uniformity.
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.

14
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
16:9
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 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.
On Fan Error
The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the
fan error indication appears on the screen, turn
off the power and contact an authorized Sony
dealer.
On Temperature Error
When this unit is used in a high temperature
environment and the internal temperature rises,
a temperature error is displayed on the screen.
When the temperature error is displayed, contact
an authorized Sony dealer.
On condensation
If the unit is moved suddenly to a location with a
different temperature or the ambient
temperature changes suddenly, 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.

SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF
ANY KIND RESULTING FROM A FAILURE TO
IMPLEMENT PROPER SECURITY MEASURES ON
TRANSMISSION DEVICES, UNAVOIDABLE DATA
LEAKS RESULTING FROM TRANSMISSION
SPECIFICATIONS, OR SECURITY PROBLEMS OF
ANY KIND.
Depending on the operating environment,
unauthorized third parties on the network may
be able to access the unit. When connecting

On Cleaning
Before cleaning
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from
the AC outlet.
On cleaning the monitor
A material that withstands disinfection is used
for the front protection plate of the medical use
LCD monitor. The protection plate surface is
specially treated to reduce reflection of light.
When solvents such as benzene or thinner, or
acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical
cleaning cloth are used for the protection plate
surface/monitor surface, the performance of the
monitor may be impaired or the finish of the
surface may be damaged. Take care with respect
to the following:
Clean the protection plate surface/monitor
surface with a 50 to 70 v/v% concentration of
isopropyl alcohol or a 76.9 to 81.4 v/v%
concentration of ethanol using a swab method.
Wipe the protection plate surface gently (wipe
using less than 1 N force).
Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft
cloth such as a cleaning cloth lightly dampened
with mild detergent solution using a swab

15
method and then clean using the above
chemical solution.
Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner,
or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or
chemical cleaning cloth for cleaning or
disinfection, as they will damage the
protection plate surface/monitor surface.
Do not use unnecessary force to rub the
protection plate surface/monitor surface with a
stained cloth. The protection plate surface/
monitor surface may be scratched.
Do not keep the protection plate surface/
monitor surface in contact with a rubber or
vinyl resin product for a long period of time.
The finish of the surface may deteriorate or the
coating may come off.
Transportation of the Unit
Do not subject the unit to severe vibration or
high impact conditions during transportation.
Doing so may result in deformation of the
internal structure or exterior of the unit, damage
of the screen, malfunction of the internal parts,

Make sure not to expose the unit to strong
vibration or high impact when you transport the
unit as cargo by truck, ship, or air, or as luggage
with a rolling luggage bag.
Avoid transporting or carrying the unit with the
display facing up or down. There is a risk that
surrounding sand or dust may enter the unit.
Also, pack the unit in the protective bag provided
and place it in a box in an environment free from
sand or dust to prevent dust from entering the
