Usage Precautions
Usage and Storage Location
Do not use or store the unit in the following
types of locations. Doing so may cause the
unit to malfunction.
• Locations exposed to extreme heat or cold
(operating temperature range is 5 °C to
35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F))
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight or
near a heater
• Locations with moisture or dust
• Locations near sources of strong magnetic
fields
• Locations near television/radio
transmitters that emit strong
electromagnetic waves
• Locations subject to shock and vibration
• Locations subject to noise
Heat Radiation
Do not cover or wrap the unit in a cloth while
it is operating. Doing so will cause the
internal temperature to increase, any may
cause the unit to fail or cause an accident.
Transportation
When transporting the unit, use the supplied
carton and cushioning, or equivalent
packaging, and do not subject the unit to
strong shock or vibration.
Care of the unit
• For stubborn dirt, soak a soft cloth in
neutral detergent diluted with water, wring
the cloth firmly, then wipe off the dirt and
wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Do not use alcohol, thinners, benzene, or
other solvents. Doing so may alter the
finish quality or damage the surface
coating.
• Observe all precautions when using
chemically-treated wipes.
• Application of volatile substances, such as
pesticides, or prolonged contact with
rubber and vinyl products may alter the
finish quality or damage the surface
coating.
Periodic maintenance
The unit incorporates moving parts that may
emit a strange sound due to excessive wear
or grease consumption, depending on the
operating conditions. Regular maintenance
is recommended to maintain the
performance of the unit. If a strange sound is
emitted, contact your Sony service
representative.
On 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.
Laser beam precautions
Laser beams may damage the CMOS
image sensor. In environments where laser
beams are used, take care to prevent
exposure of the laser beams onto the
surface of the image sensor.
Phenomena Specific to Image
Sensors
Note
The following phenomena that may occur in
images are specific to image sensors. They
do not indicate a malfunction.
White flecks
Although the image sensors are produced
with high-precision technologies, fine white
flecks may be generated on the screen in rare
cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of image
sensors and is not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen
in the following cases:
– when operating at a high environmental
temperature
