Precautions with regard to setting up

Cautions when in use

Always keep the touch panel clean.

• This optical touch panel utilizes infrared rays and may operate incorrectly if the infrared transmissive part

becomes soiled. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the infrared transmissive part once every day.

Use a power supply within the rated voltage range.

• Be sure that the power supply used conforms to the rated voltage. Use with a power supply exceeding the rating

may cause incorrect operation or malfunction.

Keep the equipment away from locations subject to heavy electrical noise.

• Avoid use near equipment that produces excessive electrical noise. Noise may enter the equipment via the

power supply or interface and cause incorrect operation.

Do not touch the infrared transmissive area until starting OS.

• After turning on the PC, be sure not to touch the infrared transmissive area on the screen until the PC

has completed the starting of its OS. If this is not observed, device errors may be detected by the PC and

subsequently it will not operate correctly. Should this occur, please restart the PC.

• When connecting or disconnecting the USB cable, be careful not to touch the infrared transmissive area.

Keep foreign matter out of the equipment.

• Do not allow metal objects or combustible material to fall or be inserted into the equipment through openings.

Using the equipment with foreign matter inside may cause problems such as electric shock or malfunction.

Keep away from water.

• If water or any other liquid gets inside the equipment it may cause ﬁ re, electric shock or malfunction. Do

not place containers that hold liquid (ﬂ ower vases, ﬁ sh bowls, cosmetics, chemicals or water) on top of the

equipment.

Do not place heavy objects on the equipment.

• The touch panel is made of sheet metal. It is dangerous to place heavy objects on top of it.

Use only the touch pen included with this touch panel. Operation is not guaranteed with other products.

Setup location

Before setting up the touch panel, select an optimal location by following the precautions below.

Places where the equipment should not be setup include:

• Locations subject to extremely high or low temperature

• Locations subject to high humidity

• Locations exposed to direct sunlight, and locations near powerful light sources

(This is an optical touch panel, so you should be particularly careful of this point)

• Locations subject to excessive dust

• Locations exposed to shock or vibration

• Locations near emissions of chemicals or steam, or locations where contact may be made with chemicals

• Locations near sources of electrical noise (generators, air conditioners etc.)

6

Maintenance

* Be sure to unplug the USB cable before cleaning the equipment.

Clean the inside of the equipment once a year.

• The equipment is of semi-sealed construction, so dust may eventually accumulate inside. This may cause poor

operation due to a reduction in the level of infrared light available for touch detection. Cleaning frequency will

vary depending on the setup location; if in doubt consult the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment.

• Be careful not to touch the infrared transmissive area on the screen of the plasma display and rub the screen

with excessive force.

Cleaning of the infrared transmissive area.

• Once a day, use a soft cloth to wipe off any soiling or debris on the infrared transmissive area. Failure to do so

will cause a malfunction, but on such an occurrence you can restore normal function simply by gently wiping the

soiling off. If soiling is severe, wet a cloth in neutral detergent diluted by 100 times of water, wring well, wipe off

the soiled part, and then wipe well with a dry cloth.

• Be aware that if you apply volatile ﬂ uids such as thinner, benzene or insecticide, or allow long-term contact with

products containing materials such as rubber or vinyl, the surface of the equipment may discolor or deform. Also,

be careful of wiping with chemically-treated cloths, because such action may cause similar to happen.

If something abnormal happens

If the equipment starts to smoke or emit a strange odor.

• It is extremely dangerous to continue using the equipment in such a malfunctioning state.

Immediately unplug the USB cable from the computer, and request the dealer from which you purchased the

equipment for repair.
