Safety Instructions
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: 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.
• Thecasingcovershouldbeopenedonlybyqualiedservice
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.
• To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set
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.

Notice
The equipment should draw power from a socket with an
attached protection circuit (a three-prong socket). All equipment
that works together (computer, display, printer, and so on)
should have the same power supply source.
The phasing conductor of the room’s electrical installation
should have a reserve short-circuit protection device in the form
of a fuse with a nominal value no larger than 16 amperes (A).
To completely switch off the equipment, the power supply cable
must be removed from the power supply socket, which should
be located near the equipment and easily accessible.

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Important:
(A)
(B)
This apparatus is supplied with an approved moulded 13A plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS 1362 5A,A.S.T.A. or BSI
approved type.
3. Retthefusecover.
Ifthettedplugisnotsuitableforyoursocketoutlets,itshould
becutoffandanappropriate3-pinplugttedinitsplace.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of
5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution
board should not be greater than 5A.
NOTE: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A
socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
BLUE – “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN – “LIVE” (“L”)
GREEN & YELLOW – “EARTH” (“E”)
1. The GREEN & YELLOW wire must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or
by the Earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN &
YELLOW.
2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter “N” or coloured BLACK.
3. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which
marked with the letter “L” or coloured RED.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip
is clamped over the sheath of the lead – not simply over the
three wires.

2.3.2. Inserting batteries in the remote control
The remote control is powered by two 1.5V AAA batteries.
To install or replace batteries:
1. Press and then slide the cover to open it.
2. Align the batteries according to the (+) and (–) indications inside
the battery compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
Caution:
The incorrect use of batteries can result in leaks or bursting. Be sure to follow these instructions:
• Place “AAA” batteries matching the (+) and (–) signs on each battery to the (+) and (–) signs of the battery compartment.
• Do not mix battery types.
• Do not combine new batteries with used ones. It causes shorter life or leakage of batteries.
