Precautions for Use
In addition to the safety precautions given in “Read this first!”, also observe the following instructions.
Handle carefully
Do not drop the unit or expose it to strong impacts or vibrations. Do not carry the unit by the IRIS lever. Doing so may cause a fail-
ure or accident.
Use the product in an ambient temperature of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Exposure to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F) could adversely affect Internal components.
Power off before connecting or disconnecting cables
Connect and disconnect cables when the unit is turned off.
Avoid humidity and dust
Avoid using the product in a very humid or dusty place because a lot of humidity and dust will cause damage to the internal com-
ponents.
Cleaning
Turn the power off and wipe the product with a dry cloth.
To remove stubborn dirt, dip a cloth into a diluted solution of kitchen detergent (neutral detergent), wring it out well, and wipe the
product gently. Then, wipe the product with a cloth dampened with water. Finally, wipe the product with a dry cloth.
NOTE
Avoid using benzine, paint thinners and other volatile fluids.
If a chemical cleaning cloth is to be used, carefully read through the precautions for its use.
Avoid open flames
Do not place candles and other sources open flame near the unit.
Avoid exposure to water
Make sure that the unit is not directly exposed to water. Exposure to water could damage it.
Disposal of the unit
When the unit has reached the end of its service life and is to be disposed of, ask a qualified contractor to dispose of the unit prop-
erly in order to protect the environment.
LCD panels
The pixels of the LCD panel are controlled to obtain high precision with 99.99% of the effective pixels. This leaves less than
0.01% of pixels that may not light or may remain on all the time. This is normal and will have no effect on the images you shoot.
There may be some unevenness on the screen depending on the image displayed.
Wiping or rubbing the LCD screen with a rough cloth may damage it.
LCD response time and brightness vary with operating temperature.
When the unit is left in a high-temperature and high-humidity location for prolonged periods, the LCD panel characteristics may
change and result in uneven image quality.
Due to the characteristics of LCD panels, prolonged display of bright still images or prolonged operation in high-temperature or
high-humidity environments may result in residual images, luminance reduction, burn-in, banding, or panel defects and degrad-
ation that result in areas of permanently changed brightness.
In addition, avoid prolonged continuous use in the following types of environments.
Confined areas with high temperature and humidity
Near the exhaust vent of air conditioning equipment, etc.
Prolonged use involving the images and environments described above will accelerate deterioration of the LCD panel over time.
To prevent deterioration over time and its related phenomena, we recommend the following.
Do not display bright still images for prolonged periods.
Lower the brightness.
Turn off the power of the unit (and the power of the CCU and hub) when the unit is not in use.
Residual images will gradually disappear as different images are displayed.
