Safety and responsibility 2
2.1 Road traffic
Do not use the control computer or control
terminal during road travel
If the driver is distracted, it can result in accidents
and injuries or even death.
Do not operate the control computer or
control terminal during road travel.
2.2 Maintenance and storage
A short circuit can cause damage
When repair work is performed on the tractor or
on a towed or mounted implement, there is a risk
of short circuit.
Before you perform repair work,
disconnect all connections between the
control terminal or control computer and the
tractor.
Overvoltage can cause damage
If welding work is performed on the tractor or
on a towed or mounted implement, the control
computer or control terminal can be damaged by
overvoltage.
Before welding,
disconnect all connections between the
control terminal or control computer and the
tractor.

2 | Safety and responsibility
MG7387-EN-II | B.1 | 12.01.2022 5

Improper cleaning can cause damage
Clean the control computer or control
terminal only with a moist, soft cloth.
Incorrect operating temperature and storage
temperature can cause damage
If the operating temperature and storage
temperature are not observed, there can damage
to the control computer or control terminal,
therefore resulting in malfunctions and dangerous
situations.
Operate the control computer or control
terminal only at temperatures from -20°C to
+65°C
Store the control computer or control terminal
only at temperatures from -30°C to +80°C
2.3 Design changes
Unauthorised changes and unauthorised use
Unauthorised changes and unauthorised use can
impair your safety and affect the service life
and/or function of the control terminal.
Only make changes to the control computer
or control terminal that are described in the
operating manual for the control computer or
control terminal.
Use the control computer or control terminal
according to its intended use.
Do not open the control computer or control
terminal.

2.4 Display
Risk of accident due to faulty display screens
If the display is faulty or the view on the screen
is limited, functions can be accidentally activated
and therefore trigger implement functions. This
can result in injury or death.
If the view on the display screen is limited,
stop operations.
If the display screen is faulty,
restart the control computer or the control
terminal.
Risk of accident due to improper swiping
gesture
With improper swiping gestures, buttons of the
implement controls can be accidentally actuated
and therefore trigger implement functions. This
can result in injury or even death.
Start the swipe gesture at the edge of the
display.
