    							EMC Supplement
    This equipment is in conformity with the provisions and protection requirements of the corresponding European Directives. This
    equipment is designed for professional video appliances and can be used in the following environments:
    ●Controlled EMC environment (for example purpose built broadcasting or recording studio), and the rural outdoors
    environment (far away from railways, transmitters, overhead power lines, etc.)
    In order to keep the best performance and furthermore for electromagnetic compatibility we recommend to use cables not
    exceeding the following length:
    The inrush current of this apparatus is 20.1 ampere.
    Caution
    When in case that the strong electromagnetic waves or magnetism is near the audio cable or the signal cable, the sound or the
    picture will contain noise. In such case, please keep the cable away from the sources of the disturbance.
    SCREEN BURN
    ● It is not recommended to keep a certain still image
    displayed on screen for a long time as well as displaying
    extremely bright images on screen. This may cause a
    burning (sticking) phenomenon on the screen of cathode-ray
    tube. This problem does not occur as far as displaying
    normal video playback motion images.
     PRECAUTIONS
    ● Use only the power source specified on the unit.
    (230 V AC, 50 Hz/60 Hz)
    ● Keep flammable material, water, and metal objects away
    from the unit – especially the interior of the unit.
    ● This unit incorporates high voltage circuitry.
    For your own safety and that of your equipment, do not
    attempt to modify or disassemble this monitor.
    There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
    ● Video or audio signals cannot be input to this monitor
    without optional input cards.
    ● In these instructions, all explanations (except where noted)
    refer to the BT-H1700AE with input cards installed.
     HANDLING
    ● Avoid shocks or vibrations. These may damage the unit and
    cause it to malfunction.
    ● Do not block the ventilation slots.
    ● Do not expose this unit to high temperatures.
    Extended exposure to direct sunlight or a heater could
    deform the cabinet or cause the performance of internal
    components to deteriorate.
    ● Do not place the unit near appliances generating strong
    electric or magnetic fields. They can generate picture noise
    and instability.
    ● Keep the monitor clean by wiping the cabinet and CRT screen
    with a piece of soft cloth. Do not apply thinner or benzine.
    These chemicals can damage the finish and erase printed
    letters. When the unit is excessively dirty, use a diluted neutral
    cleanser, then wipe away the cleanser with a dry cloth.
    DEGAUSS
    ● Do not use a magnet eraser to degauss the monitor’s
    cathode ray tube from the outside. Doing so may distort its
    aperture grill and cause a malfunction. In order to prevent any fatal accidents caused by misoperation
    or mishandling the monitor, be fully aware of all the following
    precautions.
    WARNINGS
    To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
    monitor  to rain or moisture. Dangerous high voltages
    are present inside the unit. Do not remove the back
    cover of  the cabinet. When servicing the monitor,
    consult qualified service personnel. Never try to service
    it yourself.Improper operations, in particular alternation of high
    voltage or changing the type of tube may result in x-ray
    emission of considerable dose. A unit altered in such a
    way no longer meets the standards of certification, and
    must therefore no longer be operated.

    monitor) in which you are going to install
    the card.

    of the slot.

    INSTALLING THE INPUT
    CARD
    Optional input cards are necessary to use the functions of this
    monitor. Before mounting the monitor or connecting other
    equipment to the monitor, be sure to install the input cards.
    ATTACHING THE WIDE
    MASK
    A wide mask is provided with the monitor. This changes the
    viewable screen area to the 16:9 aspect ratio.
    The wide mask cannot be attached to the monitor after the
    monitor is mounted in a rack. Mount the wide mask before
    installing the monitor in a rack.
    1. Prepare the provided wide mask and 4
    screws (for attaching).
    2. Attach the wide mask to the monitor.
    3. Secure the wide mask with the screws (fix
    2 screws each to both right and left side).
    ● When detaching the wide mask, follow this procedure in
    reverse.
