CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade
of plug to the wide slot, and fully insert the plug.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE WHICH MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
The Socket-outlet should be installed near the apparatus and be easily accessible.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your Public Information Display:
Unplug the display if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.
Unplug the display if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen many be wiped with a dry cloth when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents
or ammonia-based liquids.
Consult a service technician if the display does not operate
normally when you have followed the instructions in this manual.
• The casing cover should be opened only by qualied service
personnel.
Keep the display out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat sources.
Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the display’s electronics.
Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
Keep the display dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose
it to rain or excessive moisture.
If turning off the display by detaching the power cable, wait for 6 seconds before re-attaching the power cable for normal operation.
To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set do not expose the display to rain or excessive moisture.
When positioning the display, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.
• IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application. If a still image in high contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave an ‘after-image’ or ‘ghost image’ on the front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In most cases the afterimage will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware that the after-image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.

7. Cleaning and Troubleshooting

7.1. Cleaning

Caution When Using the Display
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the display. The top of the display is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air being released through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries may occur if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any object near the top of the display could also result in heat related damage to the object as well as the display itself.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the display. Moving the display with its cables attached may damage the cables and thus cause re or electric shock.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any type of cleaning or maintenance
procedure.
Front Panel Cleaning Instructions
The front of the display has been specially treated. Wipe the surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
• If the surface becomes dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Wipe
the surface of the display to remove dirt. Then use a dry cloth of the same type to dry.
• Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with ngers or hard objects of any kind.
Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and thinners.
Cabinet Cleaning Instructions
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.
If the cabinet is extremely dirty, soak a lint-free cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring the cloth to remove as much moisture as
possible. Wipe the cabinet. Use another dry cloth to wipe over until the surface is dry.
Do not allow any water or detergent to come into contact with the surface of the display. If water or moisture gets inside the unit, operating problems, electrical and shock hazards may result.
• Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with ngers or hard objects of any kind.
Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and thinners on the cabinet.
Do not place anything made from rubber or PVC near the cabinet for any extended periods of time.
