If the leaked liquid contacts your skin, wipe off the liquid with a soft cloth. If the affected skin is left as is, you may get a rough skin.
• Do not throw the batteries into fire or try recharging them.
• The service life of batteries is six months to one year for normal use. The supplied batteries are only for checking the operation and their life may be shorter. When the remote control operation becomes erratic, replace with new batteries.
What precautions should be taken when installing the monitor?
• When mounting the Monitor vertically, it is necessary to adjust the cooling fan speed to provide better heat dissipation. Do not forget to perform this adjustment.
• When installing the Monitor, be sure to use a dedicated Stand Unit, Wall Mounting Unit, or Monitor Hanger Unit, depending on a particular case. Ask your dealer for installation.
• When installing the Monitor, refer also to the user manual for each option to use. Do not tilt the Monitor rightward, leftward, or backward.
• Route the power cord and connection cables along wall or floor corners to avoid walking on them.
• For good heat dissipation, try to leave a minimum distance of space around the Monitor (200mm/7 7/8 inches at top and sides, 100mm/3 15/16 inches at bottom for wall mount; 50mm/2 inches at back for stand).
• The ambient temperature of the installation place should be within the range of 0°C to 40°C.
• When installing the Monitor in a place, such as near the ceiling, the remote control may not work correctly because of possible effects from the surroundings. If this happens, use the remote control as a wired remote control or move the Monitor where it is free from these effects.
• To protect against abnormal events such as earthquakes and to prevent unexpected accidents, take appropriate measures for preventing the Monitor from overturning; should it overturn, this could lead to personal injury. For detailed information, refer to the manual supplied for the stand.
What should I know about screen afterimages (burn-in) and pixels?
• Do not allow the same image (pattern) to be continuously displayed on the screen for a long time; otherwise, the area on the screen corresponding to the image may vary in brightness, leaving an afterimage on the screen. To reduce the afterimage, you can use the White Back function.
• The Monitor is manufactured using very high-precision technology, allowing for more than 99.99% active pixels, however, be aware that only a slight number of pixels may be deficient or lit at all times.
• Do not install the Monitor in such a way that the Monitor and other AV equipment affect each other adversely. (For example, if a disturbed image or noise due to electromagnetic interference occurs, or if the infrared remote control malfunctions, change the installation place.)
What precautions should be taken before making connections?
• Before making connections, turn off all the equipment.
• Plugs should be firmly inserted; poor connection could cause noise.
• To unplug a cord, be sure to grasp its plug and pull it out.
• Connect the power cord after having finished all other connections.
• Refer also to the user manual of each piece of equipment.
What video and computer signals can be input to the monitor?
Video signals:
• VIDEO A and VIDEO B terminals accept — PAL, NTSC, and SECAM signals.
• COMPONENT terminals accept — 480i, 576i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i signals.
(For GD-V4200PCE and GD-V4200PCE-G, to input the above signals, you need to install the video interface kit (IF-C420P1W), which is separately purchased.)
Computer signals (Preset and user-defined video modes):
This Monitor has 13 preset video modes for the most popular industrial standard (marked with • in the table below), and the signals of the following image resolutions can be input to the RGB input terminals. For less common video modes, this Monitor can also display a picture, and memorize the video modes as user-defined video modes (up to five modes). When a signal other than any of the preset modes is input, it will automatically be stored as a user-defined video mode, and when a sixth user-defined video signal is input, the first mode will be erased from memory.
