Safety and Precautions
Operating Safety
• Do not allow children to play unattended on electrical equipment. Children may not always
correctly recognize danger.
• Keep the packing materials, such as foil away from children. The danger of suffocation
could arise in the case of misuse.
• Never open the housing of the TFT monitor (electric shock, short-circuit and the danger of
fire)!
• Do not insert any objects through the slots and openings into the inside of the TFT (elec-
trical shock, short-circuit and the danger of fire)!
• Slots and openings in the TFT monitor are for ventilation purpose. Do not cover these open-
ings, as otherwise this may lead to overheating (overheating, danger of fire)!
• Never exert pressure on the display. This could break the monitor.
• An injury hazard exists when the display breaks. Wear protective gloves to pack the broken
parts and send them into your service center for proper disposal. Then wash your hands with
soap, because it is possible for chemicals to escape.
• Do not touch the display with your fingers or with sharp objects to avoid damage.
Please proceed as outlined in the Customer Service section:
• if the power cable overheats or is damaged
• if liquid has gotten into the monitor
• if the TFT monitor is dropped or the housing damaged
Point of use
• In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but completely
harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time.
We recommend you to ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract the formation of the
smell. During the development of this product, we have made sure that the applicable limits
are clearly fallen below.
• Keep your TFT monitor and all units connected to it away from moisture and avoid dust,
heat and direct sunlight. Failure to observe these instructions can lead to malfunctions or
damage to the TFT monitor.
• Do not operate your device in the open air, because external influences, such as rain, snow,
etc. could damage the device.
• Do not place any containers filled with liquid (vases or similar containers) on the device.
The container could tip over and liquid can impair electrical safety.
• Do not place any open sources of fire (candles or similar objects) on the device.
• Pay attention to sufficiently large clearances in the wall cupboard. Maintain a minimum
clearance of 10 cm around the device for sufficient ventilation.
• Place and operate all units on a stable, level and vibration-free surface in order to avoid
the TFT monitor from falling.
• Avoid dazzle, reflections, extreme light/dark contrast in order to save your eyes and
ensure a pleasant, ergonometric work station.
• Take regulator breaks when working with your TFT monitor in order to avoid tension and
fatigue.

Repair
• Leave all repairs of your TFT monitor to authorized and qualified personnel only.
• Should a repair be necessary, please contact one of our authorized service partners only.
Intended Environment
• The TFT monitor can be operated at an ambient temperatures of between +41°F and +95°F
(5° C to 35° C) and at a relative humidity of between 20% and 85% (without condensation).
• When switched off, the monitor can be stored at between -4°F and +140°F (-20° C - +60°
C), up to the maximum height of 39,000 ft (12,000 m) above sea level at a relative humidity
of between 20% and 80% (without condensation).
• After transporting your TFT monitor please wait until it has assumed the ambient temperature
before connecting and switching it on. Extremely high variations in the temperature or hu-
midity may result in condensation forming on the inside of the TFT monitor which could cause
an electrical short-circuit.
Power Supply
Please pay attention: Pats of the device are still live, even if the mains switch is
switched off. Pull the mains plug out of the socket, to interrupt the power supply to
your TFT monitor or to release the device from voltage completely.
• Operate your TFT monitor mains (power supply) only on grounded sockets with AC 100-
240V~/ 50-60 Hz. If you are not sure about the power supply at your location, check with
your power company.
• For additional safety we recommend use of an excessive voltage protection device to pro-
tect your TFT monitor from damage resulting from voltage surges or lightning.
• To interrupt the TFT monitor from mains (power supply) disconnect the plug from the socket.
• To avoid power consumption when the device is switched off either pull out the power plug
when the device is not used or connect the device to a master-/slave power bar.
• The power socket must be in the vicinity of your TFT monitor and within reach of the power
cables. DO NOT stretch the power cables tightly to reach a power socket.
• If you use an extension cable, ensure that it fulfills the VDE requirements. Please ask your
electrician.
• You should lay the TFT Monitor cables in a manner that no one can trip or step on it.
• To avoid damage of cable do not place any objects or furniture on the cable.
• Your device has an On and Off switch. The TFT monitor can be switched on or off by means of
it. No electricity is consumed if the switch is at OFF (0). Set the On/Off switch to OFF or use
a master/slave power strip to avoid consuming electricity when the equipment has been
switched off.

Standards/Electro-Magnetic Compatibility
Your monitor fulfils the requirements for electro-magnetic compatibility and electrical safety specified in the following standards:
EN 55022, EN 55024, EN 60950, EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3
UL60950 / CAN CSA 22.2 No 60950, FCC
• When connecting ensure that Guidelines for Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) are ob-
served.
• Provide an interval of at least one meter from high-frequency and magnetic sources of in-
terference (television sets, loudspeakers, mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunc-
tions and data loss.
Ergonomics
• This monitor complies with all relevant regulations such as DIN EN ISO 9241-3, DIN EN ISO
9241-7 and DIN EN ISO 9241-8.
• For ergonomic reasons we suggest not to use the base-color blue on dark subfonds. This would
cause bad readability and would increase eye strain.
• While working with screens you should take breaks periodically to avoid tension and fatigue.
• In order to save your eyes and to assure a convenient working area you should avoid glare,
reflections and strong contrasts on the screen. For more detailed information on workplace
ergonomics, see page 4.
Electrical Safety
EN 60950 Safety of information technology equipment.
• The connection of devices is limited to equipment that complies with EN60950 “Safety of in-
formation technology equipment” or EN60065 “Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus.
Safety requirements”
• For U.S. / Canadian purposes: The PC should only be connected to equipment which complies
with UL 60950 / CAN CSA 22.2 No 60950
Important Additional Safety Instructions
When using any electronic equipment, basic safety precautions should always be taken. Following
the guidelines below can reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to person:
• Do not use this product near water (e.g., near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry
tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool).
• Avoid using a telephone/modem (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There
may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use the telephone/modem to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
• Use only the power cord indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They
may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
• Keep batteries away from children at all times.
