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.
PRECAUTIONS
Use only the power source specified on the unit.
(220 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 DT-V1910CG and DT-V1710CG with input cards
installed.
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.
In order to prevent any fatal accidents caused by misoperation
or mishandling the monitor, be fully aware of all the following
precautions.
WARNINGS
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
monitor to rain or moisture. Dangerous high voltages
are present inside the unit. Do not remove the back
cover of the cabinet. When servicing the monitor,
consult qualified service personnel. Never try to service
it yourself.
