■ REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION RANGE

Use the remote control unit at a distance of approx. 16.4 feet (5m) from

the remote control sensor with an angle of approx.10° from the center to

the top/bottom/left/right of the sensor.

The operation range of the PN-ZR01 (optional) remote control unit is

approx. 23 feet (7 m) when aimed directly at the remote control sensor

box. When used at an angle of approx 10° from the center to the top/
bottom/right/left of the remote control sensor, use it within a distance of

approx 16.4 feet (5 m).

n

Do not expose the remote control unit to shock by dropping or

stepping on it. This could lead to a malfunction.

n

Do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place

it in an area with high humidity.

n

The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote con-
trol sensor is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. 

n

Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control

sensor may prevent proper operation.

n

Replace the batteries when they run low as this may shorten the

remote control’s operation range.

n

If a fluorescent light is illuminated near the remote control unit, it
may interfere with proper operation.

n

Do not use it with the remote control of other equipment such as

air conditioner, stereo components, etc.

n

Adjust the angle of the PN-ZR01 (optional) remote control sensor

and have it face the area where operation with the remote control
unit will take place.

n

Using this monitor’s screen-size switching or dual-screen display functions to compress or expand the screen for commercial or public viewing
in establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of the creators, as protected by Copyright Law, so please be careful.

cast or video input from external equipment).

n

When an ordinary non-wide image (4:3) is viewed with the whole screen using the screen-size switching function of this monitor, the edge of

the image may be lost or appear distorted. If you wish to respect the creator’s intentions, set the screen size to “NORMAL”.

n

screen-size switching function of this monitor. With some software, there may be noise or distortion at the edges of the screen. This is due to

the characteristics of the software, and is not a malfunction.

n

Depending on the original image size, black bands may remain at the edges of the screen.
