Handling Precautions

T ake the following precautions when handling this board.

- This display is made of the precise electric parts, so do not use or

store it in the vicinity of impulse or vibration.

- This product is not intended for use in aerospace, space, nuclear
power, medical equipment, or other applications that require a
very high level of reliability. Do not use the product in such
applications.

- If you utilize this product in such usages where high reliability and
safety are required as on the trains, vessels, automotives or crime­or disaster-prevention devices, contact your retailer.

- Do not use or store the product in a location exposed to extremely
high or low temperature or susceptible to rapid temperature
changes.
Example: - Exposure to direct sun

- In the vicinity of a heat source

- Do not use the product in extremely humid or dusty locations.

- Although the display cable connector is able to rotate, it is not
designed to be rotated continuously. Do not rotate the connector
frequently as this may cause a fault.

- Never disconnect the display c ab le wh en th e ho s t co mpu ter i s
