Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the monitor screen, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with a screen cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Storage

When not in use, store the monitor in a dry, dust-free environment. It is recommended to use a protective case to prevent scratches and damage.

Troubleshooting

Fan Noise

The monitor is equipped with a cooling fan that may activate under certain conditions, such as high ambient temperatures or when the screen brightness is set to a high level. If fan noise is a concern, consider reducing screen brightness or operating in a cooler environment. In some scenarios, setting the fan speed to '0' in the menu might be possible for indoor use with low brightness, but this should be done with caution to prevent overheating.

No Signal

• Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the camera and the monitor.
• Verify that the camera's HDMI output settings are correctly configured.
• Check if the monitor's input source is set to HDMI.

Power Issues

• Confirm that the battery is charged and correctly installed, or that the DC power adapter is properly connected.
• If using the DC 8V output to power a camera, ensure the camera is compatible and the dummy battery cable is functioning.
