Getting Started
• Sit at least 18" from the ViewPanel®.
• DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE TO THE SCREEN. The LCD screen is very
delicate.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE SCREEN DIRECTLY WITH YOUR FINGERS.
You may damage the screen, and oil from your skin is difficult to
remove.
• Avoid exposing the ViewPanel to direct sunlight or other heat source.
The ViewPanel should be facing away from direct sunlight to reduce
glare.
• Choose a well ventilated area to position your ViewPanel to allow
adequate dissipation of heat. Do not place anything on top of the
ViewPanel.
• Ensure the area around the ViewPanel is clean and moisture-free.
• If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present, immediately switch
the ViewPanel off and call your dealer. It is dangerous to continue using
the ViewPanel.
• Never remove the rear cover. The display unit contains high-voltage
parts. You may suffer electric shock if you touch these parts.
• Always handle your ViewPanel with care when moving it.
