General Safety Precautions

n n n To Prevent the GP From Being Damaged
• Never strike the touch panel with a hard, heavy or pointed object, or press on the touch
panel too strongly, since it may damage the unit.
• If the GP is used in an environment with temperatures and humidity in excess of the
allowed range, the GP may malfunction and/or its operation life may be shortened.
• Avoid restricting the GP’s naturally occurring ventilation, or storing or using the GP in an
environment that is too hot.
• Do not use this unit in areas where large, sudden temperature changes can occur. These
changes can cause condensation to form inside the unit., possibly causing the unit to
malfunction.
• Do not allow water, liquids, metal or charged particles to enter inside the GP’s case, since
they can cause either a GP malfunction or an electrical shock.
• Avoid using or storing the GP in direct sunlight, or in excessively dusty or dirty environ-
ments.
• Because the GP is a precision instrument, do not store or use the unit where large shocks
or excessive vibration can occur.
• Do not store or use the GP where chemicals (such as organic solvents, etc.) and acids can
evaporate, or where chemicals and acids are present in the air.
• Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the GP.
• Do not store or operate the LCD display in areas receiving direct sunlight, since the sun’s
UV rays may cause the LCD display’s quality to deteriorate.
• Storing this unit in areas at a temperature lower than is recommended in this manual’s
specifications may cause the LCD display’s liquid to congeal, which may damage the
panel. Conversely, if the storage area’s temperature becomes higher than the allowed
level, the LCD’s liquid will become isotropic, causing irreversible damage to the LCD.
Therefore, be sure to store the panel only in areas where temperatures are within those
specified in this manual.
Due to the possibility of unforeseen accidents, be sure to back up the
GP’s screen data regularly.
