13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
Notes on the LCD panel of this display
• The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel of this display has a very thin protective layer of
glass which is liable to marking or scratching, and cracking if struck or pressured. The
liquid crystal substrate is also liable to damage under excessive force or extreme
temperatures. Please handle with care.
• The response time and brightness of the LCD panel may vary with the ambient
temperature.
• Avoid placing the display in direct sun or where direct sun or spot lighting will shine
onto the LCD panel, as the heat may damage the panel and the external casing of the
display, and the bright light will make viewing the display more difficult than necessary.
• The LCD panel consists of individual pixels to display images and is manufactured
according to the design specifications. While 99.9% of these pixels work normally,
0.01% of the pixels may remain constantly lit (in red, blue or green) or unlit. This is a
technical limitation of the LCD technology and is not a defect.
• LCD screens, like plasma (PDP) and conventional CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) screens, are
also susceptible to 'screen burn-in' or 'image retention' which can be found on the
Important safety instructions 7
screen as visible fixed lines and shades. To avoid such damage to the screen, avoid
displaying still images (like On-Screen Display menus, TV station logos, fixed/inactive
text or icons) for more than two hours. Change the aspect ratio from time to time. Fill
the entire screen with the image and eliminate the black bars whenever possible. Avoid
displaying images in 4:3 aspect ratio over a long period of time, otherwise there may be
visible burn marks on the screen as two vertical lines.
If display of a still image is required, it is recommended to enable Anti Image
Retention under the Setting and Advanced menu.
• Note: Under certain circumstances, condensation may occur on the inner side of the
cover glass, it's a natural phenomenon and will not affect the operation of the display.
This condensation will usually disappear after around 2 hours of normal operation.
Safety notice for remote control
• Do not put the remote control in the direct heat, humidity, and avoid fire.
• Do not drop the remote control.
• Do not expose the remote control to water or moisture. Failure to do so could result
in malfunction.
• Confirm there is no object between the remote control and the remote sensor of the
product.
• When the remote control will not be used for an extended period, remove the
batteries.
Battery safety notice
The use of the wrong type of batteries may cause chemical leaks or explosion. Please
note the following:
• Always ensure that the batteries are inserted with the positive and negative terminals in
the correct direction as shown in the battery compartment.
• Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix different types.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries will shorten battery life
or cause chemical leaks from the old batteries.
• When batteries fail to function, replace them immediately.
• Chemicals which leak from batteries may cause skin irritation. If any chemical matter
seeps out of the batteries, wipe it up immediately using a dry cloth, and replace the
batteries as soon as possible.
• Due to varying storage conditions, the battery life for the batteries included with your
product may be shortened. Replace them within 3 months or as soon as you can after
initial use.
• There may be local restrictions on the disposal or recycling of batteries. Consult your
local regulations or waste disposal provider.

Gesture Description
For Windows 8
Press and hold to learn
This touch interaction causes detailed information or teaching
visuals (for example, a tooltip or context menu) to be displayed
without a commitment to an action. Anything displayed this way
should not prevent users from panning if they begin sliding their
finger.

Gesture Description
Slide to pan
Slide is primarily used for panning interactions but can also be
used for moving, drawing or writing. Slide can also be used to
target small, densely packed elements by scrubbing (sliding the
finger over related objects such as radio buttons).
Swipe to select, command, and move
Sliding the finger a short distance, perpendicular to the panning
direction, selects objects in a list or grid (ListView and
GridLayout controls). Display the AppBar with relevant
commands when objects are selected.
Pinch and stretch to zoom
While the pinch and stretch gestures are commonly used for
resizing, they also enable jumping to the beginning, end, or
anywhere within content with Semantic Zoom. A
SemanticZoom control provides a zoomed out view for showing
groups of items and quick ways to dive back into them.
Turn to rotate
Rotating with two or more fingers causes an object to rotate.
