Do not install or leave the monitor:
• In places subject to extreme temperatures, for example near a 

radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the 
monitor to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile 
parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could cause 
deformations of the casing or malfunctions.

• In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.
• Near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field, 

such as a TV or various other household appliances.

• In places subject to inordinate amounts of dust, dirt, or sand, for 

example near an open window or an outdoor exit. If setting up 
temporarily in an outdoor environment, be sure to take 
adequate precautions against airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise 
irreparable malfunctions could occur.

• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage 

the LCD screen. Take care when you place the monitor by a 
window.

• Do not push on or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy 

object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose 
uniformity or cause LCD panel malfunctions.

• 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.

Be sure to keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and floppy 
discs away from the speaker’s opening as the speakers generate a 
magnetic field. This magnetic field may affect data stored on 
magnetic tapes and discs.

A specially designed fluorescent tube is installed as the lighting 
apparatus for this monitor. If the screen becomes dark, unstable, 
or does not turn on, replace the fluorescent tube with a new one. 
Consult your Sony dealer when replacing the fluorescent tube. 

• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before 

cleaning your monitor.

• Clean the LCD screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass 

cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an 
anti-static solution or similar additive as this may scratch the 
LCD screen’s coating.

• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth lightly 

moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type 
of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or 
benzine.

• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or 

abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type 
of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

• Note that material deterioration or LCD screen coating 

degradation may occur if the monitor is exposed to volatile 
solvents such as insecticide, or if prolonged contact is 
maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.

• Disconnect all cables from the monitor and grasp the support 

and base sections of the display stand firmly with both hands 
when transporting. If you drop the monitor, you may be injured 
or the monitor may be damaged.

• When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the 

original carton and packing materials.

The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.
