Safety Precautions
WARNING:
When the ambient temperature is above +50°C, please do the following:
Only use monitors with a DC terminal block for power
Place the monitor in a secure area accessible only to trained
service persons
The monitor can operate in ambient temperatures up to +50°C; however, in
such environments the temperature of the LCD monitor can be in excess of
+70°C. When the monitor is installed in such environments, please strictly
adhere to the two operational guidelines listed above.
Prior to installing, moving, and modifying the monitor, make sure the power is
turned off and the power cord is disconnected.
Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range. Doing so
will cause fire or an electrical shock.
Electric shocks can occur if the panel is opened. Do not drop or insert any
objects into the ventilation openings of the monitor.
Only qualified engineers from certified system integrators or VARs are
allowed to make necessary functional modifications to the monitor, e.g.,
adding a touch screen. IEI offers the customization service on a per-order
basis.
Designs with stand-alone and fault-tolerant hardware considerations should
be implemented using the series models as a critical alarm or production line
control.
Page IV
If considerable amount of dust, water, or fluids entered the monitor, turn off
the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the monitor
vendor.
TDM Series LCD Monitor
Explosions may occur with installations in environments where flammable
gases are present.
Fault-tolerant and failsafe designs should be implemented with the use of the
series models on transportation vehicles, ships, safety/security devices, or
medical devices not related to life-support functionalities. Users/integrators
should take the responsibility for implementations with adequate levels of
reliability and safety.
FURTHER PRECAUTIONS
Do not drop the monitor against a hard surface. Doing so will damage the
display.
Do not strike or exert excessive force onto the touch screen.
Touching the touch screen using a sharp object will damage the LCD panel.
Avoid environments exposed to direct sunlight, dust, or chemical vapors.
The ambient temperature of the installation site should be observed and
controlled to avoid overheating the monitor.
Condensation might form inside the monitor chassis if exposed to sudden
changes in temperature.
Carefully route the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place
anything over the power cord.
If the equipment should be left unused for an extended period of time,
disconnect it from the power source to avoid damage by transient
over-voltage.
If any of the following situations arise, have the equipment checked by
qualified service personnel:
o The power cord or plug is damaged.
o Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
o The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
o The equipment does not work properly, or cannot be made to work
according to the user manual.
o The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
o The equipment shows obvious signs of damage.

WARNING:
Any changes or modifications made to the equipment that are not
expressly approved by the relevant standards could void the authority
to operate the equipment.
ADDITIONAL INFORMA TION AND ASSISTANCE
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Prior to cleaning any part or component of the monitor, please read the details below.
Except for the properly installed front LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids
directly onto any other component. To clean the front panel, please rub it with
a piece of soft dry cloth or a slightly moistened cloth.
The interior of the LCD monitor does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away
from the LCD monitor interior.
Be cautious of all small removable components when vacuuming the monitor.
Turn the system off before cleaning the LCD monitor.
Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings of the LCD monitor.
Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to solvents or chemicals used
when cleaning the monitor.
Avoid eating, drinking and smoking within vicinity of the monitor.
CLEANING TOOLS
Some components in the monitor may only be cleaned using a product specifically
designed for the purpose. In such case, the product will be explicitly mentioned in the
cleaning tips. Below is a list of items to use when cleaning the computer or computer
peripherals.
Page VI
Cloth – Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of
cloth is recommended when cleaning the monitor.
TDM Series LCD Monitor
Water or rubbing alcohol – A cloth moistened with water or rubbing alcohol
can be used to clean the monitor.
Using solvents – The use of solvents is not recommended when cleaning the
monitor as they may damage the plastic parts.
Vacuum cleaner – Using a vacuum specifically designed for computers is
one of the best methods of cleaning the monitor. Over dust and dirt can
restrict the airflow in a computer and cause circuitry to corrode.
Cotton swabs - Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas.
Foam swabs - Whenever possible, it is best to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs for cleaning.
ESD PRECAUTIONS
Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling the components contained
within the LCD should the need arise for adding a functionality. The use of a grounded
wrist strap and an anti-static work pad is recommended. Avoid dust and debris or other
static-accumulating materials in the work area.
