Safety Instructions
For the safe use of this unit, be sure to follow these guidelines:
" Because of the danger of electrical shock, be sure to unplug (disconnect) the power
cable from the FP before plugging the cable's other end into the power supply.
" Do not use power in excess of the unit's specified voltage range since it may cause a
fire, an electrical shock, or damage the unit.
" Because the FP contains high voltage parts, an electric shock can occur when disassem-
bling the unit. Therefore, be sure to always unplug the unit before disassembling it.
" Do not modify the FP in any way, since it may cause either a fire or an electrical
shock.
" When changing the backlight, be sure to turn off the unit's power first, to prevent an
electric shock.
" Do not use touch panel keys to perform life-threatening or vitally important safety
functions. Use separate hardware switches to provide machine emergency stop or
other safety functions.
" If substantial amounts of metallic dust, water or liquids enter the FP's case, turn off
the FP's power immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact your local FP
distributor.
" When installing the FP, be sure to follow the instructions given in “Chapter 3.
Installation and Wiring," to insure it is performed correctly.
" Do not use the FP in an environment with flammable gas since it may cause an
explosion.
" The FP is not intended for applications requiring extremely-high reliability and safety ,
such as aircraft equipment, aerospace equipment, central communication equipment,
nuclear control equipment or life-supporting medical equipment.
" When the FP is used for equipment that must provide high reliability and safety in its

■ Avoid using or storing the FP in direct sunlight, excessively dusty or dirty environments,
or where chemicals or their vapors are present in the air .
■ Please avoid using the FP in areas where sudden, large changes in temperature may
occur . These changes can cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly causing
an accident.
■ Avoid restricting the FP's natural ventilation, or storing and using the FP in an
environment that will raise the FP's internal temperature above its designated limits.
■ Do not use or store the FP in areas where chemical vapors are present or where chemicals
may come into contact the unit.
Notes on the FP's Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
■ Depending on the type of information being displayed on the FP's screen, or the current
contrast setting, subtle variations in brightness may appear. This phenomenon is a
common attribute of LCD's and is not a defect.
■ There are minute grid-points on the LCD surface. These points are not defects.
■ Occasionally crosstalk (shadows appearing on extended display lines) will appear on
the display . This phenomenon is a common attribute of LCD's and is not a defect.
■ The displayed color will look different when viewed from an angle outside the speci-
fied view angle. This phenomenon is a common attribute of LCD's and is not a defect.
■ Displaying a single screen image for long periods of time can cause an afterimage to remain
on the screen. T o correct this, turn the unit OFF for a short period (5 to 10 minutes), then ON
again. This phenomenon is a common attribute of the LCDs, and not a defect. T o prevent
the creation of an afterimage, you can change the screen display periodically to prevent the
displaying of a single image for a long period of time.
When the FP's Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is Damaged
" If the FP's display is damaged or cracked, be sure to avoid any contact with the
display's internal liquid.
" If any part of the user's clothing or body comes in contact with the damaged/
cracked FP display's internal liquid, be sure to wash that area immediately with
detergent and water. If this liquid enter's the user's eye, be sure to flush with
water immediately and see a doctor .
" Do not inhale any of the damaged/cracked FP display's fumes.
" Dispose of the damaged/cracked FP display in accordance with your local
area's toxic material disposal regulations.

The front face of the GP unit, installed in a solid panel, has been tested using conditions equivalent to the standard shown in the specification . Even though the GP unit’s
level of resistance is equivalent to the standard, oils that should have no effect on the
GP can possibly harm the unit. This can occur in areas where either vaporized oils are
present, or where low viscosity cutting oils are allowed to adhere to the unit for long
periods of time. If the GP’s front face protection sheet becomes peeled off, these
conditions can lead to the ingress of oil into the GP and separate protection measures
are suggested. Also, if non-approved oils are present, it may cause deformation or
corrosion of the front panel’s plastic cover. Therefore, prior to installing the GP be
sure to confirm the type of conditions that will be present in the GP’s operating environment.
If the installation gasket is used for a long period of time, or if the unit and its gasket
are removed from the panel, the original level of the protection cannot be guaranteed.
To maintain the original protection level, you need to replace the installation gasket
regularly.
