Important Safety Instructions  
• The displayed image on the screen is not identical in  
picture quality and colors with the printed image  
because phosphor methods or profiles differ. Please  
regard the displayed image as just a reference.  
• Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen may  
be discolored and that may cause a malfunction.  
• Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for long  
periods may cause malfunctions.  
1) Read these instructions.  
2) Keep these instructions.  
3) Heed all warnings.  
4) Follow all instructions.  
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.  
6) Clean only with dry cloth.  
7) Do not block any ventilation openings.  
Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
• The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely  
high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the  
pixels are operational for effective use. However,  
there may be some tiny black points and/or bright  
points (white, red, blue or green in color) that  
constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points  
are normal in the manufacturing process and do not  
affect the printing in any way.  
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as  
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus  
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or  
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two  
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding  
type plug has two blades and a third grounding  
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are  
provided for your safety.  
• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold  
location. This is not a malfunction.  
If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,  
consult an electrician for replacement of the  
obsolete outlet.  
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or  
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience  
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the  
apparatus.  
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the  
manufacturer.  
US  
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or  
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with  
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution  
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to  
avoid injury from tip-over.  
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or  
when unused for long periods of time.  
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been  
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or  
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects  
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has  
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate  
normally, or has been dropped.
