Warnings and Precautions

KNOW THESE SAFETY SYMBOLS

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE

PERSONNEL.

This symbol indicates high voltage is present

inside. It is dangerous to make any kind of

contact with any inside part of this product.

This symbol alerts you that important literature

concerning operation and maintenance has

been included with this product.

CAUTION: FCC/CSA regulations state that any unauthorized

changes or modications to this equipment may

void the user’s authority to operate it.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade

of plug to the wide slot, and fully insert the plug.

TO PREVENT DAMAGE WHICH MAY RESULT IN FIRE

OR ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

The Socket-outlet should be installed near the apparatus and

be easily accessible.

Read and follow these instructions

when connecting and using your Public

Information Display:

• Unplug the display if you are not going to use it for an

extensive period of time.

• Unplug the display if you need to clean it with a slightly

damp cloth. The screen many be wiped with a dry cloth

when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents

or ammonia-based liquids.

• Consult a service technician if the display does not operate

normally when you have followed the instructions in this

manual.

• The casing cover should be opened only by qualied service

personnel.

• Keep the display out of direct sunlight and away from stoves

or any other heat sources.

• Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent

proper cooling of the display’s electronics.

• Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.

• Keep the display dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose

it to rain or excessive moisture.

• If turning off the display by detaching the power cable, wait

for 6 seconds before re-attaching the power cable for normal

operation.

do not expose the display to rain or excessive moisture.

• When positioning the display, make sure the power plug and

outlet are easily accessible.

• IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program

during your application. If a still image in high contrast

remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may

leave an ‘after-image’ or ‘ghost image’ on the front of the

screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by

the shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In most cases

the afterimage will disappear gradually over a period of time

after the power has been switched off. Be aware that the

after-image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered

under warranty.
