Extension cords used with the equipment must have three cores and be correctly wired to provide connection to the earth. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.
Read this first ! (for BT-LH1760E) (continued) Operating precaution Operation near any appliance which generates strong magnetic fields may give rise to noise in the video and audio signals. If this should be the case, deal with the situation by, for instance, moving the source of the magnetic fields away from the unit before operation. Caution for AC Mains Lead FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY. This product is equipped with 2 types of AC mains cable.
Precautions for Use • The LCD screen is manufactured to precise specifications. Although over 99.99% of the pixels function normally, 0.01% of the pixels are either missing or constantly lit (red, blue or green). This is normal and not a cause for concern. • The liquid crystal protection panel is a specially manufactured component. Wiping it with a hard cloth, or rubbing it vigorously will scratch the surface.
Outline The BT-LH1760 LCD monitor was designed especially for broadcasting service and business use. It is equipped with a high performance 17.0-inch wide LCD display panel. ■ High performance LCD panel This monitor achieves outstanding color reproduction, a wide viewing angle, and high-speed response. The double-speed drive in the BT-LH1760 has substantially reduced image lag.
