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 (electrical shock,
short-circuit and the danger of fire)!
• Slots and openings in the TFT monitor are for ventilation purpose. Do not cover these openings, 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.
Safety and Precautions
3
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 humidity 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 protect 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.
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 observed.
• Provide an interval of at least one meter from high-frequency and magnetic sources of interference
(television sets, loudspeakers, mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions 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 9.

Electrical Safety
EN 60950
Safety of information technology equipment.
• The connection of devices is limited to equipment that complies with EN60950 “Safety of information
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.
