Chapter 3 Installation and Connection

3.1 Installation Notice The LCD display must be installed or moved by two or more persons. When moving the LCD display, ensure to grasp the grips at the rear and bottom. Do not hold the

LCD screen as it may cause damage, malfunction or personal injury. The LCD display should be mounted vertically relative to horizontal line. Mounting the LCD display on the wall requires special technologies, which must be done by

professionals. You should not attempt to mount the LCD display yourself. Our company is not responsible for any accidents or personal injury caused by improper handling or mishandling.

The LCD display should be used at room temperature from 0 C to 40 C. Leave enough space around it for internal heat dissipation.

Do not block the vents. It may cause a device exception if the internal temperature of the LCD display rises.

Do not place the LCD display on a hot device. Please use the mounting base and wall-mounting bracket which were specially designed for the

LCD display. Before installing, wipe the casing and the screen panel cleanly, otherwise it will affect the use of

the screen. Fix the screen but do not tighten it too tightly when installing the screen, otherwise the screen

may not work normally because of deformation. Improper handling during adjusting and using may result in equipment damage. The LCD display

can be used continuously.

3.2 Operation Notice The LCD panel on the device is made by high-precision technology. However, tiny spots on the screen that are dim and dark may be observed, or when observed from side, the screen may be colorful or the brightness may appear to be uneven. Yet the above phenomena are common among LCD displays rather than faults and will not affect the performance of the LCD display. The LCD display and its accessories in this manual are subject to change without prior notice. The LCD display should be used at room temperature from 0 C to 40 C. This LCD screen contains fragile materials, which can be damaged by dropping or impact, so

please take it lightly. Please do not let the screen display a static image for a long time, otherwise the "residual

image" will be left on the screen to affect the normal use of the LCD display. It is strictly forbidden to scratch or tap the LCD display with hard objects. Do not switch on and off frequently. Do not hit the device. The above actions may damage the device and accelerate the aging of the device.

If your LCD display is not working normally, especially if an unusual smell is emitted from the inside, unplug it immediately and contact your dealer.

Please note that in addition to the compensation provided by law, the company is not responsible for errors caused by customers or third parties when using the machine, and is not responsible for any other related malfunctions or damages.

Do not use the LCD display in environments with large amounts of dust, high humidity, or possible exposure to oil and water vapor, as this may result in fire or damage to the device.

Do not place the LCD display on an unstable object or in an unsafe place. Do not subject the LCD display to strong shock or vibration. If the device is dropped, it may be damaged.

Do not use the LCD display near heating facilities or any place where there may be high temperature, as this may cause the machine to overheat and cause a fire.

Before installing the LCD display, please check if your accessories are missing. If there is any shortage, please contact the seller.

3.3 Power Cord Connection When connecting the power supply, plug one end of the power plug into the power input on the rear panel of the LCD display, and the other end into a properly grounded power socket (AC 220 V, 50/60 Hz). In the use of the power cord, the following points should be noted: If the LCD display is not to be used for a long time, shut down the power of the device and

disconnect the power supply. Do not damage the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord, stretch the

power cord, or bend the power cord excessively. If the power cord is damaged, it may cause a fire or electric shock.

Only use the original power cable delivered with the LCD display. Contact authorized dealer to purchase power cable with same specifications.

Do not connect DC power. Plug the power plug directly into an AC socket. If you add an additional extended power cord,

you may get a fire due to overheating. Do not remove or plug in the power plug with a wet hand. It may cause an electric shock. Do not attempt to repair if the power cord is broken or malfunctioning. Contact the service

center for repair.

3.4 System Connection The LCD display achieves the video signal from the signal loop video input port (for example, the DVI-IN), and send the signal to the next unit through the signal loop video output port. The 2 2 splicing is taken as an example for description. Follow the wiring method shown in the figure below to complete the connection.

LCD Display User Manual

7

Figure 3-1 Serial Port Connection

Note The length of the cable as well as the environment condition may affect the image quality. The DVI-IN interface is suggested to be used as the signal input port. When operating on the cable connections, you must turn off the main power switch and pull out

the power plug. Please read the Installation Guide first. Do not confuse the input and output interface, or it may cause the device exceptions or other

problems.

3.5 Cleaning and Maintenance

Note Before cleaning the LCD display, be sure to unplug the power cord. Do not attempt to maintain it yourself. Opening the casing will expose you to high voltage or other hazardous materials. The LCD display must be maintained by professionals.

Clean the screen panel of the LCD display When wiping the screen, use a dry cloth that does not shrink, so as not to damage the surface coating of the screen. Do not use chemical fiber cloth or detergent, whose composition may cause the screen surface to fade or be damaged. Do not wipe the screen with a hard cloth or a rough and hard object, as this may damage the screen surface.

If the surface of the screen is stained with grease, such as fingerprints, wipe it with a non- shrinking cloth diluted with neutral detergent, and then dry the screen with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use a spray cleaner as this may remove the coating or cause the cleaner to enter the device, which may cause malfunctions.

Clean the casing of the LCD unit Do not use benzene, thinner or other chemical products to wipe the casing; do not spray volatile

solvents such as insecticide on the casing; do not leave the casing exposed to plastic or rubber materials for a long time; do not use chemical fiber cloth, detergent or paraffin. All of the above behaviors may cause cracking, deformation and stripping of the casing.

Use a non-shrinking cloth to wipe the device casing and its remote control. If it is dirty, wipe it with a soft damp cloth diluted with a mild detergent solution, and then dry with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use acidic/alkaline detergents, alcohol-based detergents, scouring agents, soap powders, OA cleaners, car waxes, glass cleaners, etc., as they may cause cracking, discoloration, and scratching of the casing.
