Chapter 1 Overview 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. Screen saver This product has a built-in screen saver function to reduce burn-in. When an almost still image is displayed for more than 10 minutes, the screen saver starts automatically and the brightness of the screen decreases. 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. 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. • The surface of the screen is specially coated. 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. On Repacking Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container which to transport the unit.
