Precautions for use  
This product has been specially designed for commercial use. As such, it should be used and operated  
only by persons with related expertise.  
O The liquid crystal parts are fabricated using high-precision technology. The screen has effective pixels that cover  
more than 99.99% of its area, but pixels may be missing or remain permanently lighted (red, blue and/or green) in  
less than 0.01% of the area. This is not indicative of malfunctioning.  
O The panel which protects the liquid crystal display has been specially treated.  
Do not wipe it with hard cloths or rub it heavily as this will damage the surface of the panel.  
O If a still image is displayed continuously for a long period of time, the image may be burnt onto the screen for  
some time. (The shadow of the image will usually disappear after moving images are displayed for while.)  
O The response speed and brightness of the liquid crystals will vary with the surrounding temperature.

Error and warning displays  
If an error has occurred in the monitor for some reason, an error or warning display will appear on the screen.  
CRCC error  
When this error appears  
When the SDI signals contain an error, the CRCC error display appears on the screen.  
When a menu is displayed, the error is indicated in the menu area. At all other times, it is indicated on the status  
display. However, only the error will be displayed when 3SEC OFF or OFF has been selected as the STATUS  
DISPLAY item setting on the OSD screen. On the other hand, if OFF has been selected as the CRCC MESSAGE item  
setting on the OSD screen, the error will not be displayed even when it has been detected.  
Countermeasure  
Check the input signals and connection statuses.  
Inverter error  
When this error appears  
If trouble has occurred in the inverter which controls the brightness of the backlight, the backlight is turned off, and all  
the lamps by the sides of the image controls and tally lamps flash at 1-second intervals.  
Countermeasure  
Turn off the power and turn it back on. If the error display persists, contact your dealer.  
Low remaining battery charge warning/error  
When this warning/error appears  
If the battery voltage is 10.5V to 11.3V:  
(If the remaining charge is less than 10% when an Anton/Bauer digital battery is being used)  
> The remaining battery charge and voltage are displayed on the screen, and the display flashes.  
If the battery voltage is less than 10.5V:  
> END BATTERYappears on screen in red for about three seconds, and the power is turned off.  
Countermeasure  
Replace the battery with one containing a sufficient charge.  
Maintenance and inspections  
Wipe off any dust or dirt on the monitor and LCD panel with a soft cloth.  
For stubborn dirt or stains, wipe the monitor and LCD panel with a cloth that has been lightly dampened with well-diluted  
kitchen detergent and wrung out thoroughly, then finish it off with a dry cloth. The monitor may malfunction if even one  
drop of water gets into the internals.  
Do not use benzine, paint thinners, etc. to clean the monitor.  
They may discolor the monitors surfaces or cause the paint to peel off.  
Do not spray detergent or other cleaners directly on the monitor or LCD panel.  
The monitor may malfunction if even one drop of water gets into the internals.  
In order to ensure that this video component will provide many hours of trouble-free operation, provide the appropriate  
maintenance and servicing at periodic intervals so that the monitors functions will be kept in perfect working order at all times.  
In order to ensure that the monitors functions will perform to the best of their ability for a long time to come, be absolutely sure  
to conduct the maintenance and inspections described here.  
1. Necessity for periodic maintenance and  
servicing  
2. Maintenance timeframe and implementation  
item  
A backlight power supply is used in this LCD monitor. This  
part (which is a consumable) will deteriorate over time and  
lead to a reduced level of performance and failure.  
For this reason, do not confine the maintenance activities  
to the kind of after-sale servicing which is performed when  
the usual failures have occurred. The user should know  
that it is important to follow through with comprehensive  
servicing which involves periodic maintenance and  
servicing aimed at keeping up the performance that the  
monitor is designed to provide and preventing sudden  
failures caused by consumable parts, etc.  
The maintenance implementation time given below is  
provided as a standard guideline, and it does not represent  
the service life of the part concerned. It should also be  
borne in mind that the period over which the parts  
performance will deteriorate differs according to the  
operating environment and method.
