About The Lcd Display; Precautions For Products With Built-In Hdd - Sony UPA-PC700 Bedienungsanleitung

About the LCD Display

The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high
precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at
least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels may
be "stuck", either always off (black), always on (red,
green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period
of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid
crystal display, such "stuck" pixels may appear
spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.
Precautions for Products With Built-
In HDD
This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD
is a precision device. If subject to shock, vibration, static
electricity, high temperature or humidity, data loss can
occur. When installing and using the unit, closely observe
the following precautions.
Protect from shocks and vibrations
When subject to shocks or vibrations, the HDD can be
damaged and loss of data on the HDD can occur.
• When transporting the unit, use the specified packing
material. When transporting on a dolly or similar, use a
type which does not transmit excessive vibrations.
Excessive shocks and vibrations can damage the HDD.
• Never move the unit while it is powered.
• Do not remove panels or outer parts of the unit.
• When placing the unit on a floor or other surface, make
sure to put the unit down carefully.
• Do not place the unit near other devices that may become
a source of vibrations.
Wait for 30 seconds after turning power off
For a brief interval after the power is turned off, the platters
inside the HDD will still keep spinning and the heads will
be in an insecure position. During this interval, the unit is
more susceptible to shocks and vibrations than during
normal operation. For a period of at least 30 seconds after
turning power off, avoid subjecting the unit even to very
light shocks. After this period, the hard disk will be fully
stopped and the unit can be manipulated.
When HDD seems to be faulty
Even if the HDD is showing signs of malfunction, be sure
to observe all the above precautions. This will prevent
further damage from occurring until the problem can be
diagnosed and corrected.
HDD replacement
The HDD, fan, and battery of the unit are consumable parts
that will need periodic replacement. When operating at
room temperature, a normal replacement cycle will be
about three years (five years for the built-in lithium
battery). However, this represents only a general guideline
and does not imply that the life expectancy of these parts is
guaranteed. Regarding parts replacement, consult your
dealer or your Sony service representative.
