Safety Precautions
OLED Burn-in Prevention
Prolonged display of static content, overlays, OSD menus, or scopes may cause burn-in on models
equipped with OLED panels.
Length of time required for burn-in to develop varies based on several factors including content and
luminance level, but generally speaking very high contrast images (full white on black) in Outdoor or
HDR Preview modes are the most susceptible to burn-in.
When practicable you should avoid displaying static content, especially in HDR Preview or Outdoor
modes, for extended periods of time. If burn-in does develop it can typically be improved or entirely
eliminated by simply displaying a fullscreen grey (e.g. 70nits) test patch for some time.
Safety Precautions
• All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.
• These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.
• All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.
• All operating instructions must be followed.

• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. Route power cord to prevent people from stepping
on or resting objects on the cord. Check to ensure that both outlet and product connection points
are properly seated and secured.
• This product must be operated on a power source as specied on the specication label or product
screening. Always operate the product within the voltage range specied.
• Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause re or serious electric shock.
• Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings as this can cause serious electric
shock or damage.
• When the product has been dropped or damaged.
Connecting and Disconnecting SDI BNC Cables
To prevent damage to components from electrical discharge follow these steps:
• Connect power rst on all devices.
• Power on all devices.
• Connect BNC cables.
To disconnect:
• Disconnect BNC cables.
• Power down and disconnect power from devices.
If using a wireless video receiver we strongly suggest using an SDI Video Ground Path Isolator
(available at ShopFSI.com and ShopFSI.eu) and powering the receiver from a separate power
source than the monitor. Use of wireless video receivers can cause dangerous ground loop issues
that can damage connected equipment like monitors. Using a ground loop isolator and powering
from a separate power source will help keep downstream equipment protected.
