Intended Environment
•
The TFT monitor can be operated at an ambient temperatures of between
+41°F
and
+95°F
(5° C to 35° C) and at a relative humidity of between 20% and 85% (without condensation).
•
When switched off, the monitor can be stored at between
-4°F
and
+140°F
(-20° C - +60° C), up to the
maximum height of 39,000 ft (12,000 m) above sea level at a relative humidity of between 20% and 80%
(without condensation).
•
After transporting your TFT monitor please wait until it has assumed the ambient temperature before con-
necting and switching it on. Extremely high variations in the
temperature or humidity
may result in conden-
sation forming on the inside of the TFT monitor which could cause an
electrical short-circuit.
Power Supply
Please pay attention:
Pats of the device are still live, even if the mains switch is switched off.
Pull
the mains plug
out of the socket, to interrupt the power supply to your TFT monitor or to release the
device from voltage completely.
•
Operate your TFT monitor mains (power supply) only on grounded sockets with
AC 100-240V~/ 50-60 Hz.
If you are not sure about the power supply at your location, check with your power
company.
•
For additional safety we recommend use of
an excessive voltage protection device
to protect your TFT
monitor from damage resulting from
voltage surges
or
lightning
.
•
To interrupt the TFT monitor from mains (power supply) disconnect the plug from the socket.
•
To avoid power consumption when the device is switched off either pull out the power plug when the device
is not used or connect the device to a master-/slave power bar.
•
The power
socket
must be in the vicinity of your TFT monitor and within reach of the power cables.
DO NOT
stretch the power cables tightly to reach a power socket
.
•
If you use an
extension cable
, ensure that it fulfills the
VDE requirements
. Please ask your
electrician.
•
You should lay the TFT Monitor cables in a manner that no one can trip or step on it.
•
To avoid damage of cable
do not place any objects
or furniture on the cable
.
•
Your device has an On and Off switch. The TFT monitor can be switched on or off by means of it.
No elec-
tricity
is consumed if the switch is at
OFF
(0). Set the On/Off switch to
OFF
or use a master/slave power
strip to avoid consuming electricity when the equipment has been switched off.
Standards/Electro-Magnetic Compatibility
Your monitor fulfils the requirements for electro-magnetic compatibility and electrical safety specified in the follow-
ing standards:
EN 55022, EN 55024, EN 60950, EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3
UL60950 / CAN CSA 22.2 No 60950, FCC
•
When connecting ensure that Guidelines for Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (
EMC
)
are observed.
•
Provide an interval of at least one meter from
high-frequency and magnetic sources of interference
(television sets, loudspeakers, mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions and data loss.
Ergonomics
•
This monitor complies with all relevant regulations such as DIN EN ISO 9241-3, DIN EN ISO 9241-7 and DIN
EN ISO 9241-8.
•
For ergonomic reasons we suggest not to use the base-color blue on dark subfonds. This would cause bad
readability and would increase eye strain.
•
While working with screens you should
take breaks periodically
to avoid tension and fatigue.
•
In order to save your eyes and to assure a convenient working area you should
avoid glare, reflections
and
strong contrasts
on the screen.
