Use ESD gloves when handling Pixel cards
to prevent static electricity from the human
body and contamination due to nger oils,
perspiration salts, aking skin, and/or other
forms of human excretory secretions. The
LED modules and their electrical components
are sensitive to biological agents and
exposure to such risks degradation of
materials and performance.
Eliminate any static electricity from your body
before touching the Pixel cards by touching
an aluminum sash, a door knob, or some
other metal object.

Recommended Use & Maintenance
About the LED lamps
The surface of the pixel card is vulnerable to shocks, so do not press or hit the surface.
LED lamps are sensitive to static electricity and surge voltage, which may damage their components
and decrease their reliability.
Take measures against static electricity during the installation. Do not touch the LED display areas.
The LED lamps may absorb and hold moisture during the LED module installation or if not used for
a long time. Therefore, in such cases, the brightness must be increased gradually during a break-in
period before setting the normal brightness.
If the LED lamps are lit with 100% brightness while moisture is retained, the temperature will rise very
quickly and the water inside the lamps will evaporate and expand. This will cause the encapsulating
resin to expand, which may lead to separation of the boundary surface inside the LED lamps. This
separation can cause the LED lamps not to light up properly.
Lamp break-in
Congure the brightness settings as shown below with a video displayed on the LED
module.
After a break-in period of approximately 3 hours, the LED module can be used under normal
conditions.

Pixel card surface cleaning
The surface of the pixel card is easily scratched, so handle it with care so as not to push or rub
it with a hard object. Be careful not to stain the surface of the pixel card with your ngers. If the
surface of the pixel card becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a dry cloth. Also, use a clean cloth and
avoid using the same cloth repeatedly.
