REMOTE operation is possible on this monitor using the GPI/RS-232C terminal. 
Each of the items in the GPI screen are compatible with the following terminals. 
You can assign functions to each terminal in the menu GPI screen (J page 20). 
The functions assigned to each terminal operate when the GND (5 Pin) is connected (ON) or open (OFF). 
gOperating conditions
Level operation: operates when GND is connected. 
Edge operation: operates when GND changes from 
open to connected.
* If you have assigned a level operation function to more 
than one terminal, the function operates as long as 
one of the terminals is connected. 
*1 When both “R-TALLY” and “G-TALLY” are ON at the same time, the tally color becomes orange. 
*2 This is only enabled when “RGB-VIDEO” is selected in “YP

If you use rack-mounting adaptors BT-MA1710G (optional) with this monitor, you can incorporate a 19-inch 
standard rack (the height is 7U size). Please see the instructions below for attachment. 
1. Remove the screws on the back and base of the 
monitor (3 places), and remove the stand. 2. Using the screws provided, attach the rack-
mounting adaptors to both sides of the monitor. 
Error/Warning Displays
If for any reason an error occurs in this monitor, the LEDs above the picture adjusting knob flash at 1-second 
intervals (informing you of the error/warning display). 
Maintenance
 To clean the cabinet or surface of the liquid crystal protection panel, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth.  
If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in a weak detergent solution and then wrung-out to 
clean the surfaces, then use a dry cloth to finish. Water or similar substances getting inside the monitor can 
cause a malfunction. 
 Never use thinner or benzene to clean this unit.  
Doing so would cause the surface of the monitor to become discolored, and cause paint to peel. 
 Do not spray cleansers directly onto the monitor. 
Water or similar substances getting inside the monitor can cause a malfunction.

Error/Warning 
displaysSymptom Solution
Inverter error
If a malfunction occurs in the inverter that 
controls the backlight brightness, the 
backlight will switch OFF. 
The screen becomes completely black. Switch the power supply OFF once, then 
switch it back ON again. If an error is still 
displayed, contact the vendor where you 
purchased the monitor.
Fan stop 
ErrorThe fan in the back of the monitor stops if 
a malfunction occurs. If a picture is being 
displayed when the malfunction occurs, it 
will continue being displayed as is. If the error is still displayed after this, 
contact the vendor where you purchased 
the monitor immediately. 
If a fan stop error occurs, setting “FAN 
MOTOR” to “OFF” in the “SYSTEM 
CONFIG” menu (refer to page 18) allows 
you to continue using the monitor with 
reduced screen brightness.

Maintenance inspections are necessary for the user to use this equipment safely. It is important to keep monitor 
functions in good condition at all times through periodical and appropriate maintenance. In order to use this monitor 
for a long time, and to make full use of all of its functions, be sure to carry out the following maintenance 
inspections. 
1. Necessity of periodical maintenance services
A backlight is used in the liquid crystal panel. This 
part (consumable) deteriorates as time passes, and 
can cause performance levels to drop, or may cause 
a malfunction. 
Therefore, in addition to the after-service repairs 
performed if a malfunction occurs, it is essential that 
general servicing and maintenance servicing are 
conducted on a regular basis, to prevent malfunctions 
and accidents caused by the deterioration of 
consumable parts, and to keep the monitor working 
normally. 2. Standard maintenance time guidelines and items 
to be performed
The following maintenance performance times give 
standard guidelines for when to perform maintenance, 
and do not indicate the individual lifespan of your 
equipment. Also, note that the deterioration time 
varies depending on the usage environment and way 
in which the equipment is used. 
* You cannot replace just the backlight unit on its own.
