device. Observe the warnings and instructions on the device and in the manual. Garz & Fricke embedded
system have been built and tested by us and left the company in a perfectly safe condition.
In order to maintain this condition and ensure safe operation, the user must observe the instructions and
warnings contained in this manual.

Keep away from water and other liquids, the unit is not protected against.
Operate the unit under electrical and environmental conditions according to the technical
specification.
The electrical installations in the room must correspond to the requirements of the local (country-
specific) regulations.
Take care that there are no cables, particularly power cables, in areas where persons can trip
over them.
Do not place the device in direct sunlight, near heat sources or in a damp place.
All plugs on the connection cables must be screwed or locked to the housing.
Repairs may only be carried out by qualified specialist personnel authorized by Garz & Fricke
GmbH or their local distributors.
Maintenance or repair on the open device may only be carried out by qualified personnel
authorized by Garz & Fricke GmbH which is aware of with the associated dangers.
II. LCD and touch handling
If equipped with, the soft surface of a resistive touch screen is not suitable for use with stencils
and/or other devices for touch operation. There are special plastics pens available in commercial
shops. A projective capacitive touch screen might be protected by a heat strengthened glass or
acrylic or polycarbonate cover lens. These are dedicated for use with finger tips. There are very
special pens available which might work with a PCT touch.
Protect the LCD/touch/cover lens against scratches and sharp edges. The warranty does not
cover pixel failures resulting from non-compliant handling.
Clean the LCD/touch/cover lens with a soft cotton cloth with alcohol.  use organic solvents,
acid or alkali solutions.
Water drops, finger fat or any similar fouling should be removed immediately from the LCD,
cover lens and metal frame to avoid any staining.

Backlight lifetime is dictated by the LCD manufacture´s specification. Backlight lifetime is the approximate time at which
the brightness decreases to half of its original brightness. Reduction of brightness due to backlight lifetime is not
considered as failure. It is a natural aging of all electronic components.
6
Electrical products use the industrial standard term Mean Time between Failure (MTBF) as a statistical prediction of the
elapsed time between failures in a large population of systems.
The MTBF of all Garz & Fricke HMI products shall be 50,000 hours
A failure is anything that causes the product not to function to its specifications
Reduction in brightness due to backlight lifetime is not a failure
If the LCD used in the system exceeds its pixel defect specification it is considered a failure
