WARNING :
THIS APPARATUS MUST
BE EARTHED.
Improper operations, in particular alternation of high
voltage or changing the type of tube may result in x-ray
emission of considerable dose. A unit altered in such a
way no longer meets the standards of certification, and
must therefore no longer be operated.
This monitor is equipped with a 3-blade grounding-type
plug to satisfy FCC rule. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your electrician.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
䡵
HANDLING
• Avoid shocks or vibrations. These may damage the unit and
cause it to malfunction.
• Do not block the ventilation slots.
• Do not expose this unit to high temperatures.
Extended exposure to direct sunlight or a heater could deform
the cabinet or cause the performance of internal components
to deteriorate.
• Do not place the unit near appliances generating strong
electric or magnetic fields. There can generate picture noise
and instability.
• Keep the monitor clean by wiping the cabinet and CRT screen
with a piece of soft cloth. Do not apply thinner or benzine.
These chemicals can damage the finish and erase printed
letters. When the unit is excessively dirty, use a diluted neutral
cleanser, then wipe away the cleanser with a dry cloth.
DEGAUSS
• Do not use a magnet eraser to degauss the monitor’s cathode
ray tube from the outside. Doing so may distort its aperture
grill and cause a malfunction.
䡵
PRECAUTIONS
• Use only the power source specified on the unit.
(120 V AC, 50 Hz/60 Hz)
• Keep flammable material, water, and metal objects away from
the unit – especially the interior of the unit.
• This unit incorporates high voltage circuitry.
For your own safety and that of your equipment, do not
attempt to modify or disassemble this monitor.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Video or audio signals cannot be input to this monitor without
optional input cards.
• In these instructions, all explanations (except where noted)
refer to the BT-H1700B with input cards installed.
SCREEN BURN
• It is not recommended to keep a certain still image
displayed on screen for a long time as well as displaying
extremely bright images on screen. This may cause a burning
(sticking) phenomenon on the screen of cathode-ray tube. This
problem does not occur as far as displaying normal video
playback motion images.
