Operation
Warning
Risk of fire or electric shock. Dangerously high voltages are present inside the unit. - Do not expose the monitor and its components to rain, water, or excessively humid environments. - Do not disassemble the unit. - Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. - Connect the AC power properly and verify if all wiring is properly connected.
Warning
This equipment is not intended for use in critical applications where its failure to operate would create immediate life threatening circumstances. Applications including, but not limited to, nuclear reactor control, aerospace navigation systems and life support systems are not appropriate for this product.
Caution
This product has been adjusted specifically for use in the region to which it was originally shipped. If operated outside this region, the product may not perform as stated in the specifications.
Caution
Please keep the monitor out of direct sunlight, very bright lights and away from any heat source. Lengthy exposure to this type of environment may result in discoloration and damage to the monitor.
Caution
Obstruction of the ventilation holes prevents proper cooling of the monitor’s electronics and may result in overheating. Remove any object that could fall into the ventilation holes.
Caution
Using an unapproved power cord may lead to overheating. Please use the approved cord provided by Autocue at all times. If your power cord is missing, please contact your local Videndum Production Solutions Office.
Caution
When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room temperature goes up quickly, condensation may occur on the interior and exterior surfaces of the monitor. In that case, do not turn the monitor on. Instead wait until the condensation disappears, otherwise it may cause short circuit or damage to the monitor.
Caution
Only use authorized accessories manufactured or recommended by Autocue with this product. Using unapproved accessories may damage the monitor and will void the warranty.
Notice
This product may not be covered by warranty for uses other than those described in this manual.
Notice
If the monitor continuously displays a static image, dark smudges or burn-in may appear. To maximize the life of the monitor, we recommend the monitor be turned off periodically or use of a moving screen saver. Failure to activate a screen saver, or a periodic screen refresh application may result in severe “burn-in” or “after-image” or “ghost image” symptoms that will not disappear and cannot be repaired. The damage mentioned above is not covered by the warranty.
Notice
The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed lifetime. Depending on the usage pattern, such as continuous usage for long periods, the lifespan of the backlight may run out sooner, requiring replacement.
Maintenance
Caution
Repairs from a person besides an engineer or partner of Videndum Production Solutions Ltd. will nullify any warranty claim. Modifying or opening the product by the customer may result in damage to the monitor and will nullify any warranty claim.
Caution
Do not store or use the monitor in locations exposed to extreme heat, direct sunlight or extreme cold. In order to maintain the best performance of your monitor, prevent damage and maximize its lifetime, please use the monitor in a location that falls within the recommended temperature and humidity ranges.
Operating temperature: -20c° to +60c°
Storage temperature: -20c° to +70c°
Humidity level: 20% - 90% non-condensing
Notice
Do not press on the LCD panel or edge of the frame, as this may result in display malfunctions, such as interference patterns, etc. If pressure is continuously applied to the LCD panel surface, the liquid crystal may deteriorate or the LCD panel may be damaged.
Notice
Do not scratch or press the LCD panel with any sharp objects, at this may result in damage to the LCD panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch the panel
Notice
Stains on the case and LCD panel surface can be removed by moistening part of a soft cloth with water or by using a screen cleaner (available as an option). Chemicals such as alcohol and antiseptic solution may cause gloss variation, tarnishing, and fading of the case or LCD panel, and also quality deterioration of the image. Never use thinner, benzine, wax, or abrasive cleaner as they may damage the enclosure or LCD panel surface
Important information for Burn-in/Ghosting
Always activate a moving screen saver program when you leave your monitor unattended. Always activate a periodic screen refresh application if your monitor will display unchanging static content. Uninterrupted display of still or static images over an extended period may cause “burn in”, also known as “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging”, on your screen. “Burn-in”, “after-imaging”, or “ghost imaging” is a well-known phenomenon in LCD panel technology. In most cases, the “burned in” or “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging” will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off
Warning
Failure to activate a screen saver, or a periodic screen refresh application may result in severe “burn-in” or “after-image” or “ghost image” symptoms that will not disappear and cannot be repaired. The damage mentioned above is not covered by the warranty. Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally, or you are not sure what procedure to take when the operating instructions given in this manual have been followed
