generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the safety precautions specified
in this manual. The product is designed to be used by trained personnel only.
Only qualified personnel who are aware of the hazards involved should remove
the cover for repair, maintenance, or adjustment.
Before use, always check the product with a known source to be sure it is
operating correctly.
This product is not intended for detection of hazardous voltages.
Use personal protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury where
hazardous live conductors are exposed.
When incorporating this equipment into a system, the safety of that system is the
responsibility of the assembler of the system.
WARNING. To prevent injury or death, power off the display and disconnect it from line voltage before
cleaning.
CAUTION. Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents that might damage the plastics used in the items.
Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution as a cleaner and rinse with deionized water. Before using any other
type of cleaner, consult support: telestream.net/telestream-support/video/support.htm.
CAUTION. To reduce risk of fire and shock, use the certified power cord provided with the product.
CAUTION. Damage to the module can occur if this module is powered on at temperatures outside the
specified temperature range.
WARNING. To reduce the risk of fire and shock, ensure that the mains supply voltage fluctuations do not
exceed 10% of the operating voltage range.
WARNING. In the module, only the line conductor is fused for over-current protection. The fuse is internal
and not user replaceable. Do not attempt to replace the fuse. If you suspect the fuse has blown, return the
unit to an authorized service center for repair.
CAUTION. To prevent risk of fire, adequate airflow to instrument(s) and rack adapter must be
maintained. Failure to provide adequate airflow to instrument(s) could cause an instrument to shut
down.
Inadequate airflow includes placing instrument(s) and rack adapter in any small, enclosed
room that lacks a ventilation system, such as a closet. If the airflow is restricted or blocked
and the instrument(s) do not shut down, the risk of fire is increased and the instrument(s)
could be permanently damaged.
CAUTION. To minimize the risk of damage to the module, it is strongly recommended that the power
cord be connected to the module before the power cord is connected to the AC power source.

Installation
Initial product inspection
Perform the following product inspection procedure when you receive your extended touch display with rack cabinet:
1.
Inspect the two shipping cartons for external damage, which may indicate damage to the rack cabinet and extended
touch display.
2.
Verify that the one shipping carton contains the rack cabinet and the other shipping carton contains the extended touch
display, the standard accessories, and any optional accessories that you ordered. (See Accessories.)
3.
Remove the PRISM MPI2-RACK-MD from the shipping cartons, and then check that the extended touch display with rack
cabinet has not been damaged in transit. Prior to shipment the items are thoroughly inspected for mechanical defects.
The exterior should not have any scratches or impact marks.
NOTE. Save the shipping cartons and packaging materials for module repackaging in case shipment becomes necessary.
Exterior cleaning
The extended touch display with rack cabinet exteriors were inspected for debris when shipped. If necessary, you can clean
the exterior of the items as follows.
WARNING. To prevent injury or death, power off the display and disconnect it from line voltage before cleaning.
Clean the exterior surfaces of display with a dry lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle brush. If any dirt remains, use a cloth or swab
dipped in a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution. Use a swab to clean narrow spaces around controls and connectors. Do not use
abrasive compounds on any part of the extended touch display that may be damaged by it.
CAUTION. Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents that might damage the plastics used in the items. Use a 75% isopropyl
alcohol solution as a cleaner and rinse with deionized water. Before using any other type of cleaner, consult support:
