Important Safety Instructions
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one blade wider than the
other. A grounding plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the points where they exit from
the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Only use with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-
supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
14. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
15. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.
16. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
17. Installation should be done only by qualified personnel and conform to all local codes.
18. Unless this unit is specifically marked as NEMA Type 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, or 6P enclosure, it is designed for indoor use only and it must not
be installed where exposed to rain and moisture.
19. Only use installation methods and materials capable of supporting four times the maximum specified load.
20. Only use replacement parts recommended by Pelco.
21. Avoid touching the screen directly with your fingers as the oils from your skin may be difficult to remove from the LCD.
22. Do not apply direct pressure on the screen.
23. Keep the monitor in a dust-free environment and away from strong electromagnetic fields.
24. Do not use attachments, such as mounts, that are not recommended by Pelco. They may be hazardous.
25. Do not place the monitor on an unstable stand, bracket, or mount. The unit may fall, causing serious damage to the unit or injury to a
person. Only use mounts recommended by Pelco.
26. A CCC-approved power cord must be used to power this equipment when used in China.
27. A still image displayed too long may cause permanent damage to the LCD panel. Watching the LCD in 4:3 format for a long time may leave
traces of borders displayed on the left, right and center of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen. Using a
camera or a system may cause a similar effect to the screen. Damages caused by this effect are not covered by the warranty.
The product and/or manual may bear the following marks:

This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is present
within this unit. CAUTION:
This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Description
The PMCL400 Series TFT LCD monitor provides high resolution display of computer signals. These 17-inch and 19-inch monitors use a color, thin
film transistor (TFT) active matrix LCD panel (1280 x 1024) that automatically adapts to the appropriate input resolution. The RGB and DVI mode
settings allow the monitor to seamlessly accept a variety of native resolutions, making the PMCL400 Series compatible with lower resolution
products.

The PMCL400 Series features an ergonomic design, autoranging internal power supply, and low power consumption. These innovations,
combined with quick panel response time to minimize ghosting in motion video, make the PMCL400 Series an ideal choice for use with any
digital video recorder (DVR) or PC application.

In addition, the PMCL400 Series features a folding picture frame-style desktop stand, optional rack mount kits, and VESA®-compliant mounting
holes to easily adapt to the available wall and ceiling mounts.

The on-screen display (OSD) menus and front panel controls provide easy configuration of standard monitor display parameters right on the
screen. These settings are then stored in the monitor, which eliminates the need for a computer when adjusting basic monitor functions.
