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). In addition, 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.

Safety tips

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

• To avoid damage to the display, use the grounded power supply and
video cable supplied by Planar, 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.

• 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.

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

• In locations where 240V outlets are used, connect the Dome E2c
display only to a center-tapped, 240V, single-phase supply (only for
Canada and the United States).

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

Unpacking and handling tips

The Dome E2c display is a precision instrument that 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 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 or 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.

Cleaning the display

Observe the following guidelines to maintain the display and the LCD screen.

• Use a clean, lint-free, absorbent cotton cloth to clear off any residual glue
from removal of the protective film or to remove surface dust. Apply light
pressure to remove the dust.

• 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, alcohol may seep into the display case and collect in the
enclosure. Use a clean, dry cloth to completely remove the alcohol residue.

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

• 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.

About the Display

The Dome E2c display system offers a 541-mm (21.3-in) color
UXGA 1200x1600 AMLCD unit with a luminance output of 500 nits
minimum. The display connects directly to a controller board via a
Digital Visual Interface 1.0 interface. With AMLCD modules delivering
2-megapixel resolutions, the display’s thin film transistors operate in
a transmissive-type display using an integrated cold cathode
fluorescent tube (CCFT) high-bright backlight system.

This display is designed for medical imaging in diagnostic settings, in
portrait or landscape orientation. The unit produces 24-bit data per
pixels and comes fully tuned with gamma correction that complies
with the DICOM Part 14 Standard.

Bundled with the display system, the Dome CXtra software enhances
the functionality of the Dome E2c display with a range of value-added
services, such as DICOM calibration, error reporting, and backlight
saver. Network management of Dome displays running the Dome
CXtra software requires the Enterprise Management Service for
Dome CXtra. For more information, refer to Dome CXtra User’s Guide.
