Use environment
This product operates under the following operating systems:
Windows XP/2000/NT 4.0/98SE/95OSR2
* The touch panel USB interface is only supported on Windows XP/2000/98SE.
Life expectancy of components
(1) Backlight--- Display brightness decreases over time with use. The operating life of the
backlight (brightness reduced to 50% of original) is 50,000 hours for all
models. (Assuming continuous operation at 25 degrees centigrade.)
(2) Touch panel--- The operating lifetime of the touch panel is at least 1 million touches
(as tested by mechanical touching under 300g of force at a rate of two presses
per second).
(3) Power supply--- Expected life is six years for contin uous op eration at 40°C (when mounted
horizontally). However, this life may be reduced depending on the operating
temperature (in the case of higher temperatures).
* CONTEC accepts your request for replacing each consumable in the PANECON-PC as a request for
repair (at an additional cost). Contact your local retailer or CONTEC sales office.

switching the display so that the same display is not maintained for a long time.
* Burn-In: Phenomenon characterized by a TFT display as a result of long-time display of the same
screen where a shadow-like trace persists because electric charge remains in the LCD element even
after the patterns are changed.
