5E
- Please understand that Sharp Corporation
bears no responsibility for errors made during
use by the customer or a third party, nor for any
other malfunctions or damage to this product
arising during use, except where indemnity
liability is recognised under law.
- This product and its accessories may be
upgraded without advance notice.
- Do not use the product where ventilation
is poor, where there is a lot of dust, where
humidity is high, or where the product may
come into contact with oil or steam, as this
could lead to fire.
- Ensure that the product does not come into
contact with water or other fluids. Ensure that
no objects such as paper clips or pins enter
the product as this could lead to fire or electric
shock.
- Do not place the product on top of unstable
objects or in unsafe places. Do not allow the
product to receive strong shocks or to strongly
vibrate. Causing the product to fall or topple
over may damage it.
- Do not use in places where the product will
be subject to direct sunlight, near heating
equipment or anywhere else where there is
likelihood of high temperature, as this may lead
to generation of excessive heat and outbreak of
fire.
- Use the product within the ambient temperature
range of 5 to 35°C. (Also check the temperature
requirements of other devices, including the
target monitor and the connected PC, and
ensure that all requirements are satisfied.)
- When an infrared-operated device is used
nearby, the product may malfunction. Keep
such a device away from the product.
- Do not hold the product during transportation;
instead, hold the handles of the monitor.
Holding this product may cause damage or a
malfunction.
- Do not put any object above the product, as it
may cause damage or a malfunction.
- Do not use the product in locations where the
unit is exposed to direct sunlight or other strong
light. Since this product operates with infrared
rays, such light may cause a malfunction.
- Do not touch the touch panel while the PC is
starting up, since it will be detected as a failure
of the infrared transmitter/receiver elements and
will lead to a malfunction. When this occurs,
restart the PC.
- Do not operate the touch panel with a hard
or pointed object such as a fingernail, pen, or
pencil.
Maintenance
Before starting maintenance, turn off the power of
the connected PC and disconnect the USB cable.

- If dirt is hard to remove, wipe it off using a
tightly squeezed cloth dampened with a dilute
solution of a neutral detergent. Then wipe the
area with a dry cloth.
- Do not use benzine or thinner for cleaning.
The use of such chemicals may cause material
degradation or cause the coating to peel off.

insecticide to touch the screen. Do not leave
a rubber or plastic object in contact with the
product for a long time. These may cause
material degradation or cause the coating to
peel off.
- When the infrared transmitter/receiver of the
touch panel or the infrared transmitter of the
touch pen is dirty, the unit may malfunction.
Wipe dirt off lightly from these sections with a
soft cloth at least once a day.
- If dust accumulates inside the infrared
transmitter/receiver, the product cannot transmit
or receive infrared rays properly, resulting in
a malfunction. To clean the dust accumulated
inside, contact your dealer (extra charge
required).
