Handling and Maintenance of the About this manual
Screen The instructions in this manual are for the following
two models:
The surface of the screen is specially coated to reduce PVM-A250
image reflection. Make sure to observe the following PVM-A170
points as improper maintenance procedures may impair The illustration of PVM-A250 is used for the
the screen’s performance. In addition, the screen is explanations. Any differences in specifications are
vulnerable to damage. Do not scratch or knock against it clearly indicated in the text.
using a hard object.
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet before performing maintenance.
The surface of the screen is specially coated. Do not
attach adhesive objects, such as stickers, on it.
The surface of the screen is specially coated. Do not
touch the screen directly.
Wipe the screen surface gently with the supplied
cleaning cloth or a soft dry cloth to remove dirt.
Stubborn stains may be removed with the supplied
cleaning cloth, or a soft cloth slightly dampened with a
mild detergent solution.
The screen may become scratched if the cleaning cloth
is dusty.
Never use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzene,
thinner, acidic or alkaline detergent, detergent with
abrasives, or chemical wipe as these may damage the
screen.
Use a blower to remove dust from the screen surface.
On Dew Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm
location, or if ambient temperature suddenly rises,
moisture may form on the outer surface of the unit and/
or inside of the unit. This is known as condensation. If
condensation occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the
condensation clears before operating the unit. Operating
the unit while condensation is present may damage the
unit.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container which to transport the
unit.
