CAUTION: FCC/CSA regulations state that any unauthorized
changes or modications to this equipment may void
the user’s authority to operate it.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of plug
to the wide slot, and fully insert the plug.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE WHICH MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN
OR MOISTURE.
The Socket-outlet should be installed near the apparatus and be easily
accessible.
Read and follow these instructions
when connecting and using your Public
Information Display:
• Unplug the display if you are not going to use it for an extensive
period of time.
• Unplug the display if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth.
The screen many be wiped with a dry cloth when the power is off.
However, never use alcohol, solvents or ammonia-based liquids.
• Consult a service technician if the display does not operate normally
when you have followed the instructions in this manual.
• The casing cover should be opened only by qualied service
personnel.
• Keep the display out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any
other heat sources.
• Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper
cooling of the display’s electronics.
• Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
• Keep the display dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to
rain or excessive moisture.
• If turning off the display by detaching the power cable, wait for 6
seconds before re-attaching the power cable for normal operation.
• To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set do not
expose the display to rain or excessive moisture.
• When positioning the display, make sure the power plug and outlet
are easily accessible.
• IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your
application. If a still image in high contrast remains on the screen for
an extended period of time, it may leave an ‘after-image’ or ‘ghost
image’ on the front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon
that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In
most cases the after-image will disappear gradually over a period
of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware that the
after-image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under
warranty.

• The PC text quality is optimum in HD 1080 mode (1920 x 1080, 60Hz).
• Your PC display screen might appear different depending on the manufacturer (and your particular version of Windows).
• Check your PC instruction book for information about connecting your PC to a display.
• If a vertical and horizontal frequency-select mode exists, select 60Hz (ver tical) and 31.5KHz (horizontal). In some cases, abnormal signals (such as
stripes) might appear on the screen when the PC power is turned off (or if the PC is disconnected). If so, press the [INPUT] button to enter the
video mode. Also, make sure that the PC is connected.
• When horizontal synchronous signals seem irregular in RGB mode, check PC power saving mode or cable connections.
• The display settings table complies to the IBM/VESA standards, and based on the analog input.
• The DVI support mode is regarded as same to the PC support mode.
• The best timing for the vertical frequency to each mode is 60Hz.

8. Cleaning and Troubleshooting
8.1. Cleaning
Caution When Using the Display
• Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the display. The top of the display is usually very hot due to the high
temperature of exhaust air being released through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries may occur if any body parts are brought too
close. Placing any object near the top of the display could also result in heat related damage to the object as well as the display itself.
• Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the display. Moving the display with its cables attached may damage the cables and thus cause re
or electric shock.
• Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any type of cleaning or maintenance procedure.
Front Panel Cleaning Instructions
• The front of the display has been specially treated. Wipe the surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
• If the surface becomes dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Wipe the surface of
the display to remove dirt. Then use a dry cloth of the same type to dry.
• Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with ngers or hard objects of any kind.
• Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and thinners.
Cabinet Cleaning Instructions
• If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dr y cloth.
• If the cabinet is extremely dirty, soak a lint-free cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring the cloth to remove as much moisture as possible. Wipe
the cabinet. Use another dry cloth to wipe over until the surface is dry.
• Do not allow any water or detergent to come into contact with the surface of the display. If water or moisture gets inside the unit, operating
problems, electrical and shock hazards may result.
• Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with ngers or hard objects of any kind.
• Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and thinners on the cabinet.
• Do not place anything made from rubber or PVC near the cabinet for any extended periods of time.
