makes no warranty of any kind with regard to this material. While every precaution has been taken in the preparation of this
manual, Planar Systems shall not be liable for errors or omissions contained herein or for incidental or consequential damages
in connection with the furnishing, performance, or use of this material.
Limited Warranty Planar warrants to Buyer that the Bobcat X (hereinafter, the “Product”), if properly used and serviced,
will perform substantially in accordance with the product data sheet and users manual, and will be free from defects in material
and workmanship for one year following date of shipment. This warranty does not apply to air filters and other consumable
parts.
If any Product fails to conform to the written warranty, Planar's exclusive liability and Buyer's exclusive remedy will be, at
Planar's option, to repair, replace or credit Buyer's account with an amount equal to the price paid for any such defective Prod-
uct returned by Buyer during the warranty period, provided that: (a) Buyer promptly notifies in writing that such Product failed
to conform, furnishes an explanation of any alleged deficiency and obtains from Planar a return authorization; and (b) Planar is
satisfied that claimed deficiencies actually exist and were not caused by accident, misuse, neglect, alteration, improper instal-
lation or repair, or improper testing. Planar will have a reasonable time to make repairs, to replace Products, or to credit
Buyer's account.
Limitations Any written warranty offered by Planar is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied. Planar neither
assumes nor authorizes any other person to assume any other liabilities in connection with the sales or use of any product with-
out limitation. Planar disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness
for a particular purpose. In no event will Planar be liable to buyer or any other party for procurement costs, loss of profits, loss
of use, or for any other incidental, consequential, indirect or special damages or for contribution or indemnity claims, however
caused. Planar's liability shall be limited to actual direct damages not in excess of the amounts paid to Planar by buyer for the
Product. These limitations will apply to all claims, including, without limitation, warranty, contract, indemnity, tort (including
negligence), strict liability or otherwise.
Quality Assurance Program To ensure long-term, top-quality performance of Planar’s direct-view LCD products, Planar
provides out-of-warranty coverage for image quality failures with a prorated replacement cost discount, as detailed below
For a period of three (3) years from the date of shipment, the Product is covered against temporary image retention (TIR)
and uneven display (UD), which is the formation of dark banding or streaking. If the Product exhibits TIR or UD that is visu-
ally objectionable in normal use during the original one (1) year warranty period, the Product shall be repaired or replaced
under Planar warranty policies and procedures. If the Product exhibits visually objectionable TIR or UD outside the warranty
period, Planar will discount the replacement or repair cost of the LCD panel on a monthly prorated basis up to a maximum of
three (3) years from the original shipment date. For example, if the Product fails in the 24th month from shipment, the cus-
tomer will be charged 24/36 or 2/3 of the repair cost. Planar will absorb the remaining 1/3 of the cost of repair. The buyer is
responsible for shipping the Product back to Planar; Planar will cover the cost of shipping the repaired Product back to the
Buyer. Repair of the Product is the only warranty option. Planar will not refund the Buyer for the unused portion of the
expected product life. The replacement LCD is fully warranted for ninety days or the remainder of the original Product’s
expected life, whichever is shorter. The replacement LCD qualifies for the additional TIR warranty coverage for the remainder
of the original Product’s expected life. If TIR or UD symptoms can be rectified by turning off the Product or by displaying a
solid black image for two hours, and the Product shipped from Planar within the past three years, the LCD is not eligible for
replacement under the terms of the prorated replacement cost discount program
This prorated replacement cost discount program of LCD panel performance is exclusive of all other warranties written,
express, or implied. All other failure modes are excluded from this additional warranty coverage and strictly covered by the
original one (1) year limited warranty.

1.3 Safety for You and Bobcat X
This list of safety warning and caution notes isn’t very long. Reading it could save you from getting an electric
shock.
This display was designed with safety in mind. How-
ever, if you don’t heed the safety warning and cautions, you
could get hurt. The safety warning are on stickers in various
places in and on the display. They are reproduced on these
pages so you can see them all at once.
There are some other times you should know relating to
safety:
WARNING
Wall mounts must be secure.
If the displays are hung on a wall, the wall must be
strong enough to hold them. Each display unit weighs
about 55 lbs. (25 kg). Simply mounting it to wallboard or
wall paneling won’t be adequate or safe. The mounting
method must be capable of holding 5 times this weight, 275
lbs. (125 kg) for each display unit.
CAUTION
The screen could be damaged by heavy pres-
sure.
Bobcat X screens are protected with a cover glass to
protect the LCD.
Some Bobcat Xs are shipped, at customer request, with-
out this protective glass. In these, the LCD is not protected.
Slight pressure on the LCD will cause distortion of the
image. Heavier pressure will cause permanent damage.
Bobcat Xs of this type should be mounted where viewers
cannot touch the screen.
Lamp(s) inside this product contain mercury.
This product may contain other electronic
waste that can be hazardous if not disposed
of properly. Recycle or dispose in accordance with
local, state, or federal Laws. For more information,
contact the Electronic Industries Alliance at
www.eiae.org. For lamp specific disposal information,

2.1 Installing the DVI Board
Planar Systems ships the DVI board separately from the Bobcat X to some customers and for field upgrades.
✎The DVI Board is the field-installed video board for
the Video Model of Bobcat X.
1. If you powered up the unit to confirm proper working
order upon receipt, turn off AC power to the Bobcat X
and remove the power cord.
2. Place the unit face down on a flat surface on something
soft and non-scratching. If your unit does not have a
protective face glass panel, be EXTREMELY careful as
the LCD material can be scratched.
3. Confirm that your DVI Board package contains four (4)
mounting screws, a replacement DVI cover panel, and a
disposable grounding wrist strap.
4. On the back of the Bobcat X, remove the blank cover
panel.
a) Unscrew the two screws holding the blank panel in
place. Save the screws for the replacement panel you
will install later.
b) Remove the blank panel by pushing down slightly
on the inserted end of the panel as you pull it out.
c) Recycle the blank panel with other aluminum scrap
metal.
5. Attach the grounding wrist strap to bare metal on the
chassis. Using standard ESD procedures, remove the

DVI board from the anti-static bag. (The DVI board is
shown in the pictures below.)
6. Carefully slide the right side of the board into the slot
on the right side of the opening.
7. Align the connector on the board with the connector in
the opening.
Gently push the board into the connector. The board is
fully seated when the four screw holes are aligned.
8. Screw down the four corners of the DVI board with the
supplied mounting screws.
Use a grounding wrist
strap (not shown) or
other personal ESD
devices to prevent
damage to the board

9. Slide the DVI replacement cover panel into place. Press
down gently on the insertion end of the panel to help
the tabs insert in the slots.
10. Secure the DVI replacement cover panel using the
screws you removed earlier.
As you insert the panel,
push down slightly on this
end of the panel

2.2 Installing the Bobcat X Wall Bracket
The Bobcat X hangs on its wall bracket in either landscape or portrait orientation.
Installing the wall bracket
The wall bracket comes with each Bobcat X. See picture
in “You Should Have These Accessories” on page 2.
Using hardware you supply, bolt or screw the wall
bracket to a wall. Be sure to bolt or screw to structural ele-
ments of the wall, not just the wall board or drywall. The
Bobcat X weighs 55 lbs. (25 kg). The mounting method
you use must be capable of holding five times this weight
(265 lbs., 120 kg). The mounting holes are on 6.26" cen-
ters. When installed, the wall bracket protrudes 0.375" from
the back panel of the Bobcat X.
Ventilation
The Bobcat X needs no space to the rear for ventilation.
However, like all electronic devices, it does produce some
heat. The space above the display should provide enough
space so that heated air can get away. This means you
should not mount it into a sealed space with nowhere for
the heated air to escape.
Portrait or Landscape
The wall bracket always mounts the same way, whether
the displays will be hung as portrait or landscape. The
hooks on the wall bracket should always have the open part
facing upward.
✎The Locking Wall Bracket does not have the
large back plate. It consists of the square, open
box with the locking mechanism. This Locking
Wall Bracket with CATLOCK™ is a standard
accessory.
For array mounting guidelines, contact Planar Systems.
✎This space at the rear of the Bobcat X will
be occupied by the wall bracket when the
display is hanging on a wall.

2.3 Hanging the Bobcat X on the Wall Bracket
The locking system for the Bobcat X wall bracket prevents the display from jumping off the bracket during earth
tremors, and it helps deter theft.
Two-person job
The Bobcat X weighs just over 55 lbs. (25 kg). Always
have two persons hang the display on the wall bracket.
Two orientations
The Bobcat X hangs in either landscape or portrait ori-
entation. The small black square shows the position of the
AC power receptacle. The gray rectangle shows the posi-
tion of the picture connectors, when viewed from the front.
✎The Bobcat X will not rotate the picture. The
source (computer or video source) must rotate the
picture. The Bobcat X can rotate the menus, so
the internal menus will be upright with either
orientation.
Hanging the display
Before you hang the first display, practice using the lock
lever to open and close the locking mechanism.
✎After the display is hung, the connectors for video
and power are a little difficult to see. Some
installers connect power and video cables just
before hanging the display.
1. Be sure the locking lever is in the open position. The
tab on the lever should not protrude below the bottom
of the box.
2. Using two persons, lift the display so the power recep-
tacle is at the bottom for landscape hanging.
✎For portrait orientation, the power receptacle will
be on the left, looking from the front.
3. Hang the display in the hooks. Pull forward on the dis-
play to see that it is properly in the hooks.
4. Use the locking tool to lock the display onto the wall
bracket. To see if it is locked in place, try to lift the dis-
play. If it won’t lift, its locked.
