Important Precautions
Displays are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow the
release of heat generated during operation. If these openings are blocked,
built-up heat can cause failures which may result in a fire hazard.
Therefore, NEVER:
Block the bottom ventilation slots by placing the display on a bed,
sofa, rug, etc.
Place the display in a built-in enclosure unless proper ventilation is
provided.
Cover the openings with cloth or other material.
Place the display near or over a radiator or heat source.
Do not rub or strike the Active Matrix LCD with anything hard as this may
scratch, mar, or damage the Active Matrix LCD permanently.
Applying pressure to the LCD screen with your finger or other object may
cause a persistent discoloration in the affected area of the LCD.
A certain number of pixel defects are expected on LCD panels and do not
constitute a defective display. Each graphic pixel on an LCD screen is
made up of red, green and blue subpixels. Due to variables inherent to the
manufacturing process, some of these subpixels become stuck in either
the on or the off state. This pixel defect, also called a stuck pixel, appears
as a small red, green or blue dot for stuck-on pixels, or a small black dot for
stuck-off pixels. During the manufacturing testing process, LCD panels
that exceed a specified number of stuck pixels are rejected. In order to
provide the latest flat panel technology at a reasonable price, LCD
manufacturers allow a small number of pixel defects in their quality control
specifications. Although these specifications are constantly being
improved resulting in fewer pixel defects allowed with every new
generation of displays, a zero-defect policy today would make the active
matrix LCD prohibitively expensive. SGI flat panel displays have some of
the most stringent specifications for pixel defects in the industry, but
many panels can still have several stuck pixels.
For the best image quality use the VESA 1280 x1024 @60Hz video mode
with your Silicon Graphics F180 flat panel display. Other resolutions or
timing modes may result in the image being scaled or processed in ways
that can cause a degradation in sharpness.
Unplug the display before cleaning the face of the LCD screen.
Dust the display by wiping the screen and the cabinet with a soft,
clean cloth. If the screen requires additional cleaning, use a clean,
damp cloth.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an
ideal container in which to transport the unit. When shipping the unit
to another location, repack it in its original material.
