• Sit at least 18" from the ViewPanel.

• Do not apply pressure to the screen. The LCD screen is very delicate.

• Avoid touching the screen directly with your fingers, as oil from your

skin is difficult to remove.

• Avoid exposing the ViewPanel to direct sunlight or other heat source.

The ViewPanel should be facing away from direct sunlight to reduce

glare.

• Choose a well ventilated area to position your ViewPanel to allow

adequate dissipation of heat. Do not place anything on top of the

ViewPanel.

• Ensure the area around the ViewPanel is clean and moisture-free.

• If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present, immediately switch

the ViewPanel off and call your dealer. It is dangerous to continue using

the ViewPanel.

• Never remove the rear cover. The display unit contains high-voltage

parts. You may suffer electric shock if you touch these parts.

• Always handle your ViewPanel with care when moving it.
