Safety and Precautions 3
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 display or to release the device from voltage
completely.
• Operate your TFT display 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 display from
damage resulting from voltage surges or lightning.
• To interrupt the TFT display 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 display 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 fulfils the VDE requirements. Please ask your
electrician.
• You should lay the TFT Display 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.
• Use a master/slave power strip to avoid consuming electricity when the equipment has been switched off.
Standards/Electro-Magnetic Compatibility
Your display fulfils the requirements for electro-magnetic compatibility and electrical safety specified in the following 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 display 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 displays 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 display. For more detailed information on workplace ergonomics, see page 9.
Electrical Safety
EN 60950
Safety of information technology equipment.
• The connection of devices is limited to equipment that complies with EN60950 “Safety of information technology
equipment” or EN60065 “Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus. Safety requirements”
• For U.S. / Canadian purposes: The PC should only be connected to equipment which complies with UL 60950 / CAN
CSA 22.2 No 60950
Important Additional Safety Instructions
When using any electronic equipment, basic safety precautions should always be taken. Following the guidelines below can
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to person:
• Do not use this product near water (e.g., near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or
near a swimming pool).
• Avoid using a telephone/modem (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use the telephone/modem to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
• Use only the power cord indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
• Keep batteries away from children at all times.
