Safety Instructions
Read the Safety Instructions carefully and keep it for use later.
The chassis metalwork of the module must be installed properly to the main earthing termination
for Class 1 equipment.
Care must be exercised in the application of the system to prevent overheating. Ensure that the
ambient temperature around the system does not exceed 50°C and provide adequate means of
ventilation to achieve this.
When cleaning cut off the electrical supply at all times. Never use liquid or aerosol detergent,
use a soft damp cloth instead.
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the system. There are no user adjustable
components inside, only a qualified technician should open the system’s case.
If the system does not operate normally – in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells
coming from it – disconnect it immediately.
Do not put pressure on the LCD panel screen because it is very fragile.
Always handle the system with care when moving it.
Take care that the system is disposed of correctly at the end of its life. If in doubt refer to your
local ordinances or regulations for proper disposal.
A socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Cleaning the LCD monitor
To clean the LCD panel:
Wipe the screen gently with a clean lens brush made of camel hair, or a soft, clean, lint free
cloth. This is to remove dust and other particles without scratching the LCD panel.
If it is still not clean, then wipe with a damp lint free cloth and blow on it to dry.
Do not clean the panel with a keton-type material (e.g. acetone), or ethyl toluene, ethyl acid, methyl or
chloride. These may damage the LCD panel.
Do not apply pressure to the LCD panel.
