Safety precautions

• Use only the power cord shipped with the unit. If the power cable is faulty
in any way, speak with your account representative for resolution.

• The power supply cord serves as the primary disconnection device. Make
sure a grounded AC outlet is within easy reach of the installation location.

• Operate the display only from a power source indicated by the display
specifications.

• Never open the display case, even when the power is off. Dangerous high
voltage inside may cause electric shock or death.

• To avoid damage to the display, use the grounded power supply and video
cable supplied by Dome, or use certified replacements.

• Be sure the display is electrically grounded. You must connect the third
grounding pin on the US power cord to a grounded outlet. The European
power cord does not have a third grounding pin, but it must be plugged
into a grounded outlet.

• Avoid using overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or
broken plugs.

• If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet you plan to use, have a licensed
electrician replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. If the power
cord connects directly into the computer, make sure the computer is
grounded.

• Call or e-mail Dome technical support when the display is not operating
properly.

• Keep the display dry in all instances. The display lacks protection against
liquids or spills.

• In locations where 240V outlets are used, connect the display to

a center-tapped, 240V, single-phase supply only (for Canada and
the United States).

Unpacking and handling tips

The GX2MP display requires proper care to maintain product operation and
adherence to specification. Unpack the display and components carefully,
then set up and handle the unit properly to avoid damage to the LCD panel.

• Use both hands to grasp the display case when lifting it from the shipping
carton, but avoid touching the screen.

• Do not apply pressure to the screen or touch the screen with bare fingers
or objects. Pressure can affect image quality. Cosmetics and oils on the skin
are both detrimental to the screen and difficult to remove.

• Allow the display to warm up to room temperature before turning it on.
Avoid sudden temperature changes in the environment, as this may cause
condensation, which damages the display.

• Secure the display properly onto a standard VESA 100-mm mounting unit
if you elect not to use the desk stand.

• Do not place the display on a sloping shelf unless it is properly secured.

• Do not set up the display near strong light or heat sources.

• Do not block the vents on the back of the display or install the display in
a built-in enclosure. Blocked vents cause excessive heat to build up inside
the display, increasing risk of fire.

• When installing components, turn off your computer, but leave it plugged
into a grounded outlet.

• Do not remove the back cover or disassemble the display. There are
no user-serviceable parts inside.

Preventing fire and injury

• Replace the power supply cord or video cables if damaged.

• Use only the power source indicated in this guide or listed on the display.

• Do not plug the power supply into an overloaded AC outlet or extension
cord. Overloaded AC outlets and cords can result in electric shock or fire.

• Do not drop or push objects into the display case. Internal components
contain high voltage.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet during thunderstorms.

• Do not place magnetic devices, such as motors, near the display.

• Always turn off the display when it will not be in use for more than
a short period of time.

• Do not add accessories that have not been designed for use with
this display.

Cleaning the display

• Unplug the power supply before cleaning the display or LCD screen.

• Use a slightly damp (not wet) clean, lint-free cloth to clean the display.

• Dampen a clean cloth with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to remove
glue or dust if the screen is still not clean. Do not saturate the cloth;
otherwise, the liquid may seep into the display case and collect in the
enclosure. Use a clean, dry cloth to completely remove wet residue.

• Do not use chemically treated dust cloths, acetone, toluene, or harsh
solvents on the display case or the screen.

• Do not expose the display to water or excessive moisture. Do not allow
water or other stains to stand on the unit. Wipe liquids off immediately to
prevent damage to the display case and the screen.

• Do not use aerosol directly on the display screen. Overspraying may cause
electric shock.

About the Display

The GX2MP color display system, using Active Matrix Liquid Crystal
Display, or AMLCD, technology, is a cost-effective unit for use in a
clinical environment. You can view images in portrait or landscape
resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200 pixels (UXGA). The complete system
consists of the LCD panel, display controller, and display driver.

The display panel can show 8-bit color data per subpixel (24-bits per
pixel) from a palette of 256 values, implementing gamma correction
via the video card for a maximum presentation of 16.7 million colors.

Bundled with the display system, the Dome CXtra software enhances
the functionality of the GX2MP display with a range of value-added
services, such as DICOM calibration, error reporting, and backlight
saver. Network management of GX2MP displays running the Dome
CXtra software requires the Enterprise Management Service for
Dome CXtra. For more information, refer to Dome CXtra User’s Guide.
