3.1 General safety instructions
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept.
Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines
and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the
enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate security
measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into
account. For more information about industrial security, please visit.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to
always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported,
and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed under.
This product includes third-party software. Siemens AG only provides a warranty for
updates/patches of the third-party software, if these have been distributed as part of a
Siemens software update service contract or officially released by Siemens AG. Otherwise,
updates/patches are undertaken at your own risk. You can find more information about our
Software Update Service offer on the Internet at Software Update Service.

3.2 Notes on usage
According to the results of a risk analysis, certain hazard potentials associated with the
unprotected machine exist. These hazards could lead to personal injury.
Avoid such hazards by taking the following precautions in accordance with the risk analysis:
• Installation of additional safety equipment on the machine or plant. In particular, the
programming, parameter assignment and wiring of the inserted I/O modules must be
executed in accordance with the safety performance identified by the necessary risk
analysis (SIL, PL or Cat.).
• Use as intended must be validated for the device by means of a function test on the
plant. These tests help you to identify programming, parameter assignment and wiring
errors.
• Documentation of the test results that you can enter in the relevant safety verification
documents, if necessary.
Unsuitable environmental conditions have a negative impact on device operation. Chemical
substances such as cleaners or fuels may alter the color, shape and structure of the device
surface, for example, the front panel.
The device may be damaged. possibly resulting in malfunctions.
For this reason, please observe the following precautions:
• Always operate the device in closed rooms. All warranties shall be void in the case of
noncompliance.
• Operate the device only in accordance with the ambient conditions specified in the
technical specifications.
• Protect the device against heat.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or to other strong sources of light.
• Without additional safety measures, such as a supply of clean air, the device may not be
used in locations with harsh operating conditions caused by acidic vapors or gases.
• Always use suitable cleaning agents. Read the information about Chemical resistance of
the HMI devices and industrial PCs

60721-3-3 (pollutant class 3C2 for chemical influences, 3S2 for dust without sand).
A permanent picture with bright screen objects leads to a burn-in effect. The longer the
same screen contents are displayed, the longer it will take for the burn-in effect to
disappear. Screensavers (for example, "starfield simulation") for the backlit active black
mode reduce the burn-in effect. The brightness of the backlighting deteriorates over the
course of the screen's life cycle.
The service life of the screen and backlighting is extended by the following measures:
• Switch on the screensaver. The backlight brightness is reduced while the screensaver is
active.
• You should also reduce the backlighting.
• Observe the backlighting operating time.
At present, the manufacturing process of modern displays does not guarantee that all pixels
of the display will be perfect. A small number of defective pixels in the display is therefore
unavoidable. This does not present a functional problem as long as the defective pixels are
not bunched in one location.
