Troubleshooting
28
+ Do not use in hot or cold rooms (locations)
• When the unit is used in rooms (locations) with low temperature, the picture may leave trails or appear slightly
delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight
or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.
(Storage temperature: 0°C to +50°C Working temperature: 5°C to +40°C )
Control buttons do not work
!
