Intended use

The Dome E4c display is an AMLCD unit designed for viewing medical
X-ray images. This unit should not be used near patients and should
be kept outside of 1.83 m perimeter and 2.29 m vertical.

This device must not be used in primary image diagnosis in
mammography.

CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of
a medical practitioner.

Safety precautions

External equipment intended for connection to signal input, signal
output, or other connectors must comply with the relevant IEC
standard (EN/IEC 60601-1 series for medical electrical equipment).
All such combinations (systems) must comply with the standard IEC
60601-1-1, Safety requirements for medical electrical systems.

Equipment not complying to IEC 60601 must be kept outside the
patient environment, as defined in the standard as at least 1.5 meters
from the patient or the patient support.

Any person who connects external equipment to signal input, signal
output, or other connectors has formed a system and is therefore
responsible for the system to comply with the requirements of IEC
60601-1-1. If in doubt, speak with a qualified technician.

GROUNDING RELIABILITY CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED WHEN
EQUIPMENT IS CONNECTED TO AN EQUIVALENT RECEPTABLE
MARKED “HOSPITAL ONLY” OR “HOSPITAL GRADE.”

Safety tips

• Use caution when adjusting the position of the display. Improper
handling of the unit may result in hand injury. Always grasp the
sides of the display to adjust the viewing angle, height, or tilt.

• Never place your hands between the display and the stand base
when lowering the display height.

• Never open the display case, even when the power is off. Do not
drop or push objects into the display case. Dangerous voltage
inside may cause electric shock or death.

• Use the grounded power supply and the video cable supplied by
Planar. Replace the power supply or video cable if damaged.

• Be sure the display is electrically grounded. Connect the third
grounding pin on the US power cord to a grounded outlet. The
European power cord lacks a third grounding pin, but it must be
plugged into a grounded outlet. If the power cord connects
directly into the computer, make sure the computer is grounded.

• Keep the display dry if it is part of a surgical system. The display
lacks protection against liquids or spills.

• 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.

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

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

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

Dome E4c display to a center-tapped, 240V, single-phase
supply only (for Canada and the United States only).

Shipping/storing the display

Keep the display in its shipping container until installation. Return the
display to its original container whenever you need to store the unit,
move it to another location, or return it for repair.

Unpacking and handling tips

The Dome E4c display is a precision instrument that requires proper
care to maintain adherence to specification. Unpack the display
carefully, then follow instructions 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.

• Allow the display to warm to room temperature before turning it
on. Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent condensation.

• Secure the display onto the Planar-supplied wall or cart mounting
hardware to ensure safety if you elect not to use the desk stand.

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

• Do not block the vents on the display or install the display in a built­in enclosure. Blocked vents cause excessive heat inside the display.

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

Cleaning the display unit

Periodically wipe the display housing with a soft, dry cloth to prevent
dust and other material from clogging the venting holes.

The display screen can be damaged by excessive scrubbing and by
incompatible cleaning solvents. Dampen a clean, soft lint-free cloth
with distilled de-ionized water and wipe the screen gently. Use a
clean, soft, dry lint-free cloth to remove any residue.

To remove grease or other organic contaminants from the screen,
use a 50% to 70% IPA (isopropyl alcohol) solution sparingly. Never
use acetone, as it can damage the antistatic hard coating.

About the Display

The Dome E4c display is a 30-inch AMLCD color panel designed for
widescreen diagnostic imaging. The combination of high resolution
and high contrast ratio allow the viewing of color and grayscale
images simultaneously.

Bezel-free framing of 4 megapixels of data is presented in a landscape
resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. Gamma correction is achieved on
this true color display from a palette of 1786 near-gray values.
The integrated Dome RightLight controller monitors and stabilizes
backlight luminance.

Use of the Dome E4c display with the MX4 graphics display controller
offers these three advantages:

• Graphics board installation for PCI slot

• Dual-display configuration (two boards required)

• Image display in portrait mode

System requirements

• PCI slot (64-bit recommended)

• 50 MB hard disk space

•256 MB RAM

•CD-ROM drive

• Power supply, 350 watts or greater

• Windows XP Service Pack 1 or
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4

•.NET Framework 1.1

Display status

The Dome E4c display has a light-emitting diode, or LED, on the front
panel to indicate display status.

• Green. The display is connected and running properly.

• Amber. The video signal is not being received.

LED on display front

There is no power switch on the display unit. The unit turns on
automatically when the computer system is turned on. The LED
appears green to indicate functional system, or normal operation.

Improper cable connections could cause no image to appear on the
display screen or the LED to glow amber. See “Troubleshooting” on

page 14 for more information.

Display power

The power input port is an 8-pin DIN connector that drives power to
the display. See page 17 for the pin assignment.

The dual-link DVI cable drives data to the display and is integrated
into the display unit. When the DVI cable is disconnected from the
graphics board, the display backlight turns off and the unit enters
power-saving mode.

Display brightness and power saving functions are controlled via the

Dome CXtra software. No other user-accessible controls are available.
