1. Precautions and Safety Notices
Prior to using this manual, please ensure that you have carefully followed all the procedures outlined in the user manual for this
product.
• Read all of these instructions.
• Save these instructions for later use.
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
• Do not use this product near water.
• This display should be installed on a solid horizontal base.
• When cleaning, use only a neutral detergent cleaner with a soft damp cloth. Do not spray with liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Do not expose this display to direct sunlight or heat. Hot air may cause damage to the cabinet and other parts.
• Adequate ventilation must be maintained to ensure reliable and continued operation and to protect the display from
overheating. Do not block ventilation slots and openings with objects or install the display in a place where ventilation may
be hindered.
• Do not install this display near a motor or transformer where strong magnetism is generated. Images on the display will
become distorted and the color irregular.
• Do not allow metal pieces or objects of any kind fall into the display from ventilation holes.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect it from overheating, those openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or
heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
