3 – Preparation
o Do not apply a commercially-available screen protection
film to the display. Doing so could prevent normal
operation.
o Gently wipe the display with a soft dry cloth that does not
shed dust (e.g. a cleaning cloth). Avoid wiping with a stiff
cloth or rubbing with force. Doing so could damage the
surface of the LCD. Do not use benzene, thinner, manicure
remover, alcohol or similar substances.
NOTE
The display is produced with extremely high-precision
manufacturing technologies, and 99.99% or more of
the pixels are effective, but sometimes pixels might not
appear or might appear as red or black dots. This is not a
malfunction.
Turning the power ON and OFF
Open the front panel POWER switch cover and press the
POWER switch.
Start-Up Screen
Home Screen
To turn the power OFF, push the POWER switch on the front
panel again.
CAUTION
Never turn the power OFF during recording, playback,
or any other operation that accesses an SD or CF card.
Doing so could, for example, cause recording errors, loss
of recorded DATA, and sudden loud noises to be output
through monitoring equipment, which could result in
damaged equipment and hearing loss.
