Sympodium IM-150 Installation Guide
Other Precautions
For operating safety and proper installation, read this guide carefully and observe the
following precautions.
The IM-150 Components
•
The digitizer inside the screen won’t work if you place it in the vicinity of a large
magnetic field. For this reason, keep speakers and power transformers away from the
screen.
•
Do not place sharp or heavy objects on the IM-150 – especially on the screen. These
objects may scratch the screen’s surface or block the ventilation holes. Do not use
any instrument other than the tethered stylus on the screen. Other instruments may
damage the screen’s coating.
•
Do not connect or disconnect the video or power cable while the Sympodium IM-150
console is on. Doing so may damage the liquid crystal display (LCD) and the
computer video card.
•
Use the IM-150 with a VGA or DVI graphics card. An inappropriate graphics card may
damage the screen.
•
Do not exceed a horizontal refresh rate of 75 Hz for input devices. This can cause the
screen to overheat.
•
The X-Port™ 30 unit can support only one control panel at a time. If you connect two
panels, the system will malfunction.
The Stylus
•
The stylus is a sealed unit. There aren’t any user-repairable parts inside the stylus,
nor are there any batteries. If you attempt to open the stylus, you may break the seal
and render the stylus unusable.
•
With use, the stylus wears down. Do not use a stylus that has worn down to a sharp or
angular tip, as it may damage the screen. See the
Sympodium IM-150 User’s Guide
for information on changing the stylus tip.
•
Prevent children from playing with the stylus because they may accidentally remove
the small tip, which can be a choking hazard
The Environment
•
Avoid setting up and using the IM-150 in an area with excessive levels of dust,
humidity and cigarette smoke, where it’s exposed to direct sunlight, severe
temperature changes, heat from other appliances, water or any other liquid
•
Do not modify the power cords. Handle them carefully and avoid excessive bending.
You should route the power cords in an area where they’re unlikely to be stepped on,
or pinched by items placed on or against them. If you must run a cable over the floor,
lay it in a flat, straight line and secure it to the floor with tape or a cable management
strip of contrasting color.
•
The IM-150 comes with two three-prong, grounding-type power plugs. These plugs
will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. If you’re unable to insert either plug into
an outlet, contact your electrician to replace the outlet. Do not circumvent the plug’s
safety restriction.
•
Place the IM-150 in a location where end users have clear and direct access to the
main power plugs, as they must be able to unplug either component at all times.
Always disconnect a component before performing any installation or maintenance.
