LCD Panel Usage Precautions
•
The LCD panel’s liquid contains an irritant. If the panel is damaged and any of this liquid contacts your skin,
immediately rinse the area with running water for at least 15 minutes. If the liquid gets in your eyes, immediately rinse
your eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
•
The PL unit’s LCD screen may show unevenness in the brightness of certain images or at some contrast settings. This
is an LCD characteristic and not a product defect.
•
The PL unit’s LCD screen pixels may contain minute black and white-colored spots. This is an LCD characteristic and
not a product defect.
•
The color displayed on the PL unit’s LCD screen may appear different when seen from outside the specified viewing
angle. This is an LCD characteristic and not a product defect.
•
When the same image is displayed on the PL unit’s screen for a long period, an afterimage may appear when the image
is changed. If this happens, turn off the PL, wait 10 seconds and then restart the unit. This is an LCD characteristic and
not a product defect.
•
To prevent an afterimage:
•
Set the PL unit’s display OFF feature when you plan to display the same screen image for a long period of time.
•
Change the screen image periodically and try to not display the same image for a long period of time.
Do not operate or store the PL where chemicals evaporate, or where chemicals are present in the air.
Corrosive chemicals
: Acids, alkalines, liquids containing salt
Flammable chemicals
: Organic Solvents
Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to remove dirt or oil from the PL unit’s surface. Instead, use a
soft cloth moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
Do not use or store the PL in areas with direct sunlight, since the sun's ultraviolet rays may cause the
LCD’s quality to deteriorate.
Do not store the PL in an area where the temperature is lower than that recommended in the PL unit’s
specifications. Doing so may cause the LCD display’s liquid to congeal, which can damage the LCD. Also,
if the storage area’s temperature becomes higher than the specified level, the LCD’s liquid may become
isotropic, causing irreversible damage to the LCD. Therefore, only store the PL in areas where tempera-
tures are within the PL unit’s specifications.
After turning OFF the PL, be sure to wait a few seconds before turning it ON again. The PL may not oper-
ate correctly if it is restarted too quickly.
Due to the possibility of unexpected accidents, be sure to back up the PL unit’s data regularly.
