If the remote control has become erratic in operation, change the batteries.

1. Remove the back cover. While pushing the release lever on the cover, remove the cover in the direction of the arrow.

2. Place the batteries. Put the two supplied batteries (AA/R6P), noting the ⊕ and ⊖ markings, as shown.

3. Replace the back cover as illustrated. Make sure the release lever on the cover is locked in place correctly.

If batteries are used improperly, the liquid could leak out, causing a fire, injury, etc. or dirtying the vicinity. Take notice of the following:

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not mix different types of battery as different types may have different characteristics.

• Place the batteries according to the ⊕ and ⊖ markings indicated on the battery compartment.

• When installing the batteries, insert the ⊖ end first to avoid a short circuit.

• Use only the specified batteries.

• When you are not using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.

• When the batteries have reached the end of their life, replace them with new ones immediately. Otherwise, the liquid may leak out, or malfunction may be caused by the leaked liquid. 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.

• 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 (see “Mounting the Monitor Vertically”).

• 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.

• Route the power cord and connection cables along wall or floor corners to avoid walking on them.

• For good heat dissipation, try to leave the following distances of space (minimum) around the Monitor:
– On a stand: 200 mm (7 7/8 in) above, 150 mm (4 15/16 in) on sides, 50 mm (2 in) behind.
– On a wall: 200 mm (7 7/8 in) above, 100 mm (3 15/16 in) on sides, 50 mm (2 in) behind.
– From a ceiling: 200 mm (7 7/8 in) below, 100 mm (3 15/16 in) on sides, 50 mm (2 in) behind.

• The ambient temperature of the installation place should be within the range of 0°C to 40°C.

• 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.

• Do not install the Monitor in such a way that the Monitor and other AV equipment affect each other adversely (e.g., electromagnetic interference).

• 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.

Video signals

• VIDEO A and VIDEO B terminals accept PAL, NTSC, and SECAM signals.
