SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
 Prior to installing, moving, and modifying the monitor, make sure the power is
turned off and the power cord is disconnected.
 Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range. Doing so will
cause fire or an electrical shock.
 Electric shocks can occur if the panel is opened. Do not drop or insert any objects
into the ventilation openings of the monitor.
 Only qualified engineers from certified system integrators or VARs are allowed to
make necessary functional modifications to the monitor, e.g., adding a touch
panel. GAI offers the customization service on a pre-order basis.
 Designs with stand-alone and fault-tolerant hardware considerations should be
implemented using the series models as a critical alarm or production line control.
 If considerable amount of dust, water, or fluids entered the monitor, turn off the
power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the monitor
vendor.
 Explosions may occur with installations in environments where flammable gases
are present.
 Fault-tolerant and failsafe designs should be implemented with the use of the
series models on transportation vehicles, ships, safety/security devices, or
medical devices not related to life-support functionalities. Users/integrators should
take the responsibility for implementations with adequate levels of reliability and
safety.
FURTHER PRECAUTIONS
 Do not drop the monitor against a hard surface. Doing so will damage the display.
 Do not strike or exert excessive force onto the LCD panel.
 Touching the LCD panel using a sharp object will damage the LCD panel.
 Avoid environments exposed to direct sunlight, dust, or chemical vapors.
 The ambient temperature of the installation site should be observed and
controlled to avoid overheating the monitor.

 Condensation might form inside the monitor chassis if exposed to sudden
changes in temperature.
 Carefully route the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place
anything over the power cord.
 If the equipment should be left unused for an extended period of time, disconnect
it from the power source to avoid damage by transient over-voltage.
 If any of the following situations arise, have the equipment checked by qualified
service personnel:
o The power cord or plug is damaged.
o Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
o The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
o The equipment does not work properly, or cannot be made to work
according to the user manual.
o The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
o The equipment shows obvious signs of damage.
WARNING!
Any changes or modifications made to the equipment that are not
expressly approved by the relevant standards could void the authority to
operate the equipment.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Prior to cleaning any part or component of the monitor, please read the details below.
 Except for the properly installed front LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids
directly onto any other component. To clean the LCD panel, please rub it with a
piece of soft dry cloth or a slightly moistened cloth.
 The interior of the LCD monitor does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away from
the LCD monitor interior.

 Be cautious of all small removable components when vacuuming the monitor.
 Turn the system off before cleaning the LCD monitor.
 Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings of the LCD monitor.
 Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to solvents or chemicals used when
cleaning the monitor.
 Avoid eating, drinking and smoking within vicinity of the monitor.
CLEANING TOOLS
Some components in the monitor may only be cleaned using a product specifically
designed for the purpose. In such case, the product will be explicitly mentioned in the
cleaning tips. Below is a list of items to use when cleaning the computer or computer
peripherals.
 Cloth – Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of cloth
is recommended when cleaning the monitor.
 Water or rubbing alcohol – A cloth moistened with water or rubbing alcohol can
be used to clean the monitor.
 Using solvents – The use of solvents is not recommended when cleaning the
monitor as they may damage the plastic parts.
 Vacuum cleaner – Using a vacuum specifically designed for computers is one of
the best methods of cleaning the monitor. Over dust and dirt can restrict the
airflow in a computer and cause circuitry to corrode.
 Cotton swabs - Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas.
 Foam swabs - Whenever possible, it is best to use lint free swabs such as foam
swabs for cleaning.
ESD PRECAUTIONS
Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling the components contained
within the LCD should the need arise for adding a function. The use of a grounded wrist
strap and an anti-static work pad is recommended. Avoid dust and debris or other
static-accumulating materials in the work area.
