Precaution
About the battery pack, AC adaptor and charger
A battery pack, AC adaptor and charger are not supplied.
Use a compatible battery pack
or AC adaptor (pages 14, 16).
If you do not have a batterypack or AC adaptor, purchase them separately.
Handling the LCD screen
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage the LCD screen.
Take care when you place the
unit bya window.
• Do
not push or scratch the LCD monitor's screen. Do not place a heavy object on
the LCD monitor's screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
•
If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a residual image may appear
on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the
screen returns to normal.
•
If a fixed picture such as a frame of a divided picture or time code, or a still
picture is displayed for a long time, an image may remain
on the screen and be
superimposed
as a ghosting image.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during operation. This
is not a
malfunction.
• The LCD panel fitted to this
unit is manufactured with high precision
technology. 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.
