Monitors can be externally controlled using the RS-232C interface (COM port) of a PC, and, in this case
too, multiple monitors can be connected in a daisy chain. By assigning each monitor an ID number (see
page 40), you can perform input mode selection, adjustment and status monitoring of individual monitors.

• Since this product is heavy in weight, consult your dealer before installation.
• The monitor must be installed or moved by two or more people.
• When moving the monitor, be sure to hold it with the handles both on the rear and the unit bottom.
• Do not touch the LCD panel when moving the monitor. This may lead to breakage, malfunction or injury.
• Mount the monitor vertical to a level surface. Limit the tilting angle between 0˚ and 20˚ downward.
• Due to the monitors size and weight special techniques are required to mount the monitor. This monitor

should only be mounted by qualified personnel using the correctly specified brackets and fittings, after
mounting appropriate safety checks should be carried out and documented. You should never perform
any of this work yourself. Our company will bear no responsibility for accidents or injuries caused by
improper mounting or handling.

• This monitor is fixed to the temporary stand when shipped from the factory. Please note that this stand is

for temporary use only until the monitor is properly mounted.

• Do not lay the monitor display-side down or up as this could lead to a malfunction.
• When mounting the monitor, the following amount of open space is required to clear the ventilation for the

monitor; at least 30 cm above, 5 cm right/left/below, and 3.5 cm behind the monitor. Do not block any
ventilation openings. If the temperature inside the monitor rises, this could lead to a malfunction.

• After mounting the monitor, it is recommended that you take measures against it possibly falling to the

ground. Use commercially-available strong cord and metal fittings (hooks, etc.) to secure the hooks on the
top of the monitor to a wall or pillar. (See page 9.)

• The mount bracket must be installed on the wall, which withstands at least 4 times (approx. 260 kg) weight

of the monitor.

Follow the procedure below to remove the temporary stand.

• Before removing the temporary stand, prepare wall-hanging brackets to mount the monitor unit.

Read the manual of the brackets or stand for their mounting procedure. (The screw holes for
mounting brackets (M10 x 4 holes) are provided on the rear of the monitor. (See page 9.))

• The monitor must be installed or moved by two or more people.

1. Hold the monitor with the handles on the rear to

prevent it from falling down, and remove the upper
and lower stand fixing screws (4).

2. Lift the monitor by holding it with the handles

and the underside of the unit.

3. When the installation is complete, attach the

supplied stand hole protection covers as
necessary.

• The temporary stand is specifically designed for this monitor. Do not use the removed stand for other

devices.

• Store the removed screws together with the stand. You must use the original screws when you mount the

monitor onto the stand again. Using other screws could lead to a malfunction.

Before turning on power, make sure that peripherals, external speakers, and the power cord are
connected properly.
There are two power supply switches: The main power switch on the rear of the monitor, and the POWER
button on the remote control unit.

If the monitor is connected to a PC or a playback device, turn on the monitor first before turning
on the PC or playback device.

When the main power switch is off, the monitor is not turned on with the POWER button on the remote
control unit.

• When the input mode (see page 22) is set to “DIGITAL” or “ANALOG” and there is no video signal input,

the backlight of the monitor is turned off and the monitor enters input signal waiting mode.  (The power
LED flashes green.)  If the monitor is in this mode and you press the POWER button on the remote
control unit, the monitor enters standby mode.

• If the remote control is not available, you can turn on/off by pressing the power switch 

 beside the

power LED with a sharp object (see page 8).
