Safety Information

 

• Do not expose the DGA-6000 to rain or moisture. Do not operate the DGA-6000 with the covers 
removed.  

•  Use  only  the  supplied  power  module.    Route  power  cords  so  they  will  not  be  stepped  on  or 
pinched by anything placed on or against them. 

•  Keep  the  DGA-6000  away  from  wet  locations  such  as  bathtubs,  sinks,  wet  basements  or 
swimming pools.  

•  Unplug  the  DGA-6000  before  cleaning.  Use  a  damp  cloth  for  cleaning.  Do  not  use  cleaning 
fluids or aerosols, which could enter the unit and cause damage, fire or electrical shock.  

• Do not attempt to service this unit. Never remove the covers. Disconnect it and contact Display 
Calibrations, LLC directly for service.
