4.1 Installation
General Digital recommends that you install or leave the monitor:
• In a place free of extreme temperatures, i.e., away from radiators, heating vents,
direct sunlight.
• In a place free of mechanical vibration and shock.
• In a place far from any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field.
• In a place free of inordinate amounts of dust, dirt or sand, i.e., an open window or
outdoor exit. If setting up temporarily in an outdoor environment, be sure to take
adequate precautions against airborne dust and dirt.
• On a stable surface where the monitor will be safe from tipping over.
• Ensure that vents are kept free of obstruction and airflow remains unrestricted at
all times.
• If the unit is equipped with a grounded AC line input connector, ensure that a reliable
grounding path is maintained. Units so equipped are intended to be connected to
ground.
• Ensure that the unit is located where the temperature remains within the recom-
mended ambient temperature range listed in the Specifications.
4.2 Characteristics of the LCD Screen
• Keep the LCD from facing direct sunlight for extended periods as this can damage
the screen.
• The LCD screen may lose uniformity or otherwise malfunction if pushed, scratched
or has a heavy object set upon it.
• If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual image may appear on the screen.
This is not a malfunction. The screen returns to normal as the temperature rises to
a normal operating level.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image may appear for a while.
The residual image will eventually disappear.
• The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.
Important Notes on the LCD Screen Characteristics
Please be aware that, although the LCD screen is made with high precision technology, the
manufacturer’s specifications allow for slight optical anomalies. If your LCD screen exhibits any
minor anomalies, it is not an indication of a malfunction. General Digital inspects each screen
to even more rigid specifications than the manufacturer’s and will not ship any product found
to be substandard.
Also, optimal performance is achieved after the monitor has reached a stable internal oper-
ating temperature. At ambient room temperature (72° F/22° C), this may require as long as
30–60 minutes.
