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.
