Intended use
The Dome E4c display is an AMLCD unit designed for viewing medical
X-ray images. This unit should not be used near patients and should
be kept outside of 1.83 m perimeter and 2.29 m vertical.
This device must not be used in primary image diagnosis in
mammography.
CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of
a medical practitioner.
Safety precautions
External equipment intended for connection to signal input, signal
output, or other connectors must comply with the relevant IEC
standard (EN/IEC 60601-1 series for medical electrical equipment).
All such combinations (systems) must comply with the standard IEC
60601-1-1, Safety requirements for medical electrical systems.
Equipment not complying to IEC 60601 must be kept outside the
patient environment, as defined in the standard as at least 1.5 meters
from the patient or the patient support.
Any person who connects external equipment to signal input, signal
output, or other connectors has formed a system and is therefore
responsible for the system to comply with the requirements of IEC
60601-1-1. If in doubt, speak with a qualified technician.
GROUNDING RELIABILITY CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED WHEN
EQUIPMENT IS CONNECTED TO AN EQUIVALENT RECEPTABLE
MARKED “HOSPITAL ONLY” OR “HOSPITAL GRADE.”

Shipping/storing the display
Keep the display in its shipping container until installation. Return the
display to its original container whenever you need to store the unit,
move it to another location, or return it for repair.
Safety tips
• Use caution when adjusting the position of the display. Improper
handling of the unit may result in hand injury. Always grasp the
sides of the display to adjust the viewing angle, height, or tilt.
• Never place your hands between the display and the stand base
when lowering the display height.
• Never open the display case, even when the power is off. Do not
drop or push objects into the display case. Dangerous voltage
inside may cause electric shock or death.
• Use the grounded power supply and the video cable supplied by
Planar. Replace the power supply or video cable if damaged.
• Be sure the display is electrically grounded. Connect the third
grounding pin on the US power cord to a grounded outlet. The
European power cord lacks a third grounding pin, but it must be
plugged into a grounded outlet. If the power cord connects
directly into the computer, make sure the computer is grounded.
• Keep the display dry if it is part of a surgical system. The display
lacks protection against liquids or spills.
• Do not plug the power supply into an overloaded AC outlet or
extension cord. Overloaded AC outlets and cords can result in
electric shock or fire.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet during
thunderstorms.
• Do not place magnetic devices, such as motors, near the display.
•In locations where 240V outlets are used, connect the
Dome E4c display to a center-tapped, 240V, single-phase
supply only (for Canada and the United States only).

Unpacking and handling tips
The Dome E4c display is a precision instrument that requires proper
care to maintain adherence to specification. Unpack the display
carefully, then follow instructions to avoid damage to the LCD panel.
• Use both hands to grasp the display case when lifting it from
the shipping carton, but avoid touching the screen.
• Do not apply pressure to the screen or touch the screen with
bare fingers or objects. Pressure can affect image quality.
• Allow the display to warm to room temperature before turning it
on. Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent condensation.
• Secure the display onto the Planar-supplied wall or cart mounting
hardware to ensure safety if you elect not to use the desk stand.
• Do not set up the display near strong light or heat sources.
• Do not block the vents on the display or install the display in a built-
in enclosure. Blocked vents cause excessive heat inside the display.
• Do not remove the back cover or disassemble the display.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Cleaning the display unit
Periodically wipe the display housing with a soft, dry cloth to prevent
dust and other material from clogging the venting holes.
The display screen can be damaged by excessive scrubbing and by
incompatible cleaning solvents. Dampen a clean, soft lint-free cloth
with distilled de-ionized water and wipe the screen gently. Use a
clean, soft, dry lint-free cloth to remove any residue.
To remove grease or other organic contaminants from the screen,
use a 50% to 70% IPA (isopropyl alcohol) solution sparingly. Never
use acetone, as it can damage the antistatic hard coating.

Display status
The Dome E4c display has a light-emitting diode, or LED, on the front
panel to indicate display status.
• Green. The display is connected and running properly.
• Amber. The video signal is not being received.
There is no power switch on the display unit. The unit turns on
automatically when the computer system is turned on. The LED
appears green to indicate functional system, or normal operation.
Improper cable connections could cause no image to appear on the
display screen or the LED to glow amber. See “Troubleshooting” on
page 14 for more information.

Display power
The power input port is an 8-pin DIN connector that drives power to
the display. See page 17 for the pin assignment.
The dual-link DVI cable drives data to the display and is integrated
into the display unit. When the DVI cable is disconnected from the
graphics board, the display backlight turns off and the unit enters
power-saving mode.
Display brightness and power saving functions are controlled via the
Dome CXtra software. No other user-accessible controls are available.

Display stand
Always grasp the sides of the display to adjust the viewing angle, tilt,
and height of the screen.
NOTE: To unlock the stand column, move the lever to the left. You can
only lock the stand column when the display height is in the lowest
position, which is also the shipping/storage position.
The stand includes an integrated USB hub and can be used for
cable management. See page 18 for more information.
Improper handling of the display unit may result in hand injury. Use
caution when adjusting the position of the display. Never place your
hands between the display and the stand base when lowering the
height. Avoid holding the bottom area of the display.

Display Installation
Before you install the MX4 graphics display controller, remove any
existing graphics board and its driver from your computer. After
installation, the display turns on automatically when you turn on
your computer system.
Safety precautions
In locations where 240V outlets are used, connect the Dome E4c
display only to a center-tapped, 240V, single-phase supply (for
Canada and the United States only).
Turn off your computer before you install the graphics display
controller, but leave the power cord plugged into the grounded
outlet. Otherwise, you could get an electric shock and cause
damage to the components.
To prevent electrostatic discharge, take these precautions:
• Slowly remove the graphics board from its static-shielding bag.
• Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
• Repeatedly touch the power supply or the metal surface of
the computer chassis to discharge your body’s static electricity.

To install Dome CXtra
Bundled with the display system, the Dome CXtra software enhances
the functionality of the Dome E4c display with a range of value-added
services, such as DICOM calibration, error reporting, and backlight
saver. Network management of Dome displays running the Dome
CXtra software require the Enterprise Management Service for
Dome CXtra. For more information and instructions on installation,
refer to Dome CXtra User’s Guide.
To conserve energy use
You have two ways to lower energy usage when the display is idle:
• Dome CXtra Backlight Saver service (preferred)
• Screen Saver (set via Windows operating system)
Activate the power saver when you anticipate periods of inactivity,
such as at the end of the work day or work week. Once activated,
Backlight Saver (or Screen Saver) automatically turns the backlight off
during the period of inactivity. Backlight Saver and Screen Saver both
extend the life of the backlight and reduce the burn-in of images.
Do not use the Backlight Saver and Screen Saver concurrently.
To remove the driver
1 Close all applications that are running.
2 Navigate to the Control Panel. Select Add/Remove Programs.
3 Select your current display drivers. Select Add/Remove. Follow
the wizard to remove your current display drivers.
4 Restart your system.
