Anti-Static Precautions

Caution Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to the

monitor and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components. Dry
climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is critical that whenever qualified personnel open
the NI TSM-101x monitor and handle the electrical components, they adhere to the following
anti-static precautions.

• Wear an anti-static wristband to help prevent ESD from damaging any electrical
component.

• Before handling any electrical component, touch any grounded conducting material.
Touch grounded conducting materials frequently while handling an electrical component.

• When configuring or working with an electrical component, place it on an anti-static pad.

• Handle electrical components by the edges only.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Note Take the following precautions prior to cleaning any part or component of the

monitor.

• Turn the monitor off before cleaning.

• Never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any components except the LCD panel. To
clean the LCD panel, gently wipe it with a piece of soft dry cloth or a slightly moistened
cloth.

• Keep fluids away from the monitor interior. The interior of the monitor does not require
cleaning.
