Table of Contents
• Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor’s screen. Do
not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor’s screen.
This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
• If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a
residual image may appear on the screen. This is not
a malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the
screen returns to normal.
Precaution
On Safety
• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified
in the “Specifications” section.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc., is
located on the rear and bottom.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord.
If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power
immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a
damaged power cord.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for several days or more.
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by
grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
On Burn-in
For LCD panel, permanent burn-in may occur if still
images are displayed in the same position on the screen
continuously, or repeatedly over extended periods.
Images that may cause burn-in
• Masked images with aspect ratios other than 16:9
• Color bars or images that remain static for a long time
• Character or message displays that indicate settings or
the operating state
To reduce the risk of burn-in
• Do not carry the monitor by holding the stand.
• Do not carry the monitor by holding the AC adaptor.
• Turn off the character displays
Press the MENU button to turn off the character
displays. To turn off the character displays of the
connected equipment, operate the connected
equipment accordingly. For details, refer to the
operation manual of the connected equipment.
• Turn off the power when not in use
On Installation
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.)
or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block
the ventilation holes.
Turn off the power if the viewfinder is not to be used
for a prolonged period of time.
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration
or shock.
On a Long Period of Use
Due to the characteristics of LCD panel, displaying
static images for extended periods, or using the unit
repeatedly in a high temperature/high humidity
environments may cause image smearing, burn-in, areas
of which brightness is permanently changed, lines, or a
decrease in overall brightness.
Handling the LCD Screen
• The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with
high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel
ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion
of pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black),
always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In
addition, over a long period of use, because of the
physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display,
such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These
problems are not a malfunction.
In particular, continued display of an image smaller than
the monitor screen, such as in a different aspect ratio,
may shorten the life of the unit.
Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or
using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high
humidity environment such an airtight room, or around
the outlet of an air conditioner.
To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend
reducing brightness slightly, and to turn off the power
whenever the unit is not in use.
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place
the unit by a window.

maintain the monitor’s performance.
Before cleaning
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet.
On cleaning the monitor screen
The monitor screen surface is especially treated to
reduce reflection of light.
If you have any questions about this unit, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance
of the monitor, take care with respect to the following:
• Wipe the screen gently with a soft cloth such as a
cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such
as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly
dampened with water.
Disposal of the Unit
Do not dispose of the unit with general waste.
Do not include the monitor with household waste.
When you dispose of the monitor, you must obey the
law in the relative area or country.
• Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner,
or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical
cleaning cloth, as they will damage the screen surface.
On Fan Error
On cleaning the cabinet
The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the fan
stops and the 1 (standby) switch indicator on the front
panel flashes in green and amber for fan error indication,
turn off the power and contact an authorized Sony
dealer.
• Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly
dampened with mild detergent solution, followed by
wiping with a soft dry cloth.
• Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may
damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the
indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.
• If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the
cabinet may be scratched.
On AC Adaptor Terminal
The AC adaptor terminal of this unit (the connector for
AC adaptors) is a consumable part.
The unit may not operate properly if the pins of the AC
adaptor terminal are bent or deformed by shock or
vibrations, or if they become corroded due to prolonged
outdoor use.
Periodic inspections are recommended to keep the unit
working properly and to prolong its usable lifetime.
Contact your dealer or a Sony service representative for
more information about inspections.
• If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin
product for a long period of time, the finish of the
cabinet may deteriorate or the coating may come off.
On Dew Condensation
If the viewfinder is moved suddenly from a cold place to
a warm place, or used in a room with high humidity,
water droplets may form on the interior of the product.
This phenomenon is known as dew condensation.
This product does not come with a feature that warns
users of dew condensation. If water droplets are found
on the casing, turn off the power, and wait until the
condensation disappears before using.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container which to transport the
unit.
