Handling Precautions
Take the following precautions when handling this board.
- This display is made of the precise electric parts, so do not use or
store it in the vicinity of impulse or vibration.
- This product is not intended for use in aerospace, space, nuclear
power, medical equipment, or other applications that require a
very high level of reliability. Do not use the product in such
applications.
- If you utilize this product in such usages where high reliability
and safety are required as on the trains, vessels, automotives or
crime- or disaster-prevention devices, contact your retailer.
- Do not use or store the product in a location exposed to extremely
high or low temperature or susceptible to rapid temperature
changes.
Example: - Exposure to direct sun
- In the vicinity of a heat source
- Do not use the product in extremely humid or dusty locations.
- Do not perform key operations with the touch panel to implement
a process that might endanger life or result in serious damages.
Design a system that can cope with incorrect key input operations.
- Do not use a sharp-edged object, such as a mechanical pencil, to
operate the touch panel in order to prevent scratching or
malfunctions.
- Protect the touch panel against shock to prevent damage.
- CONTEC is not liable for a product that has been modified by the
user.
- For this equipment, use the dedicated power supply unit if
possible. If you connect any other power supply unit, be sure to
select the one that satisfies the voltage and current capacity
standards.
- Never supply power to the power supply connector and the AC
adapter jack at the same time as it can cause a fault.
- When the surface or frame of the touch panel has become dirty,
wipe it with neutral detergent. Do not wipe the touch panel with
thinner, alcohol, ammonia, or a strong chlorinated solvent.

1. Introduction
4User’s Manual
- Do not plug or unplug the connector with the equipment powered
on. As doing so may result in a malfunction or fault.
- In the event of failure or abnormality, contact your retailer.
Use environment
This product operates under the following operating systems:
Windows XP/2000/NT 4.0/98SE/95OSR2, MS-DOS 6.2
* The touch panel USB interface is only supported on Windows
XP/2000/98SE.
Life expectancy of components
(1) Backlight--- Display brightness decreases over time with use.
The operating lifetime of the backlight is as
follows. (The time until the brightness is lowered
to 50% of the initial value. , Assuming
continuous operation at 25 degrees centigrade.)
- IPC-DT/M20V(PC)T : 50,000 hours
- IPC-DT/L20S(PC)T : 50,000 hours
- IPC-DT/H20X(PC)T : 25,000 hours
(2) Touch panel--- The operating lifetime of the touch panel is at
least 1 million touches (as tested by mechanical
touching under 300g of force at a rate of two
presses per second).
* CONTEC accepts your request for replacing each consumable in
the PANECON-PC as a request for repair (at an additional cost).
Contact your local retailer or CONTEC sales office.
LCD Display Pixel Drop
LCD display may have some pixels being dropped (bright and
black spots) below a certain threshold. Note that this is not a
failure or a defect.
Burn-in on TFT Display
"Burn-in" may occur if the same display is retained for a long
time. Avoid this by periodically switching the display so that
the same display is not maintained for a long time.
* Burn-In: Phenomenon characterized by a TFT display as a
result of long-time display of the same screen where a shadow-
like trace persists because electric charge remains in the LCD
element even after the patterns are changed.

1. Introduction
User’s Manual 5
Connecting to a host with an existing touch panel function such
as a CONTEC panel computer.
The touch panel cannot be used together with the built-in touch
panel on the computer. In this case, the touch panel on the
screen cannot be used (although display operation is still
available.)
However, on the following CONTEC panel computers, multiple
touch panels can be used together when connected via the USB
interface.
