Cleaning Cleaning Precautions • Take care not to damage or scratch the glass or LCD panel. • Do not apply pressure on the glass or LCD panel. • Do not apply or spray liquid directly to the glass, panel or cabinet as excess liquid may cause damage to internal electronics. Instead, apply the liquid to the cleaning cloth.
Cleaning To clean the LCD panel: • Dust particles on the LCD panel may be blown away by using a dust remover. E.g., DUST OFF 67 (KONTAKT Chemie). A dust remover is composed of a blend of compressed liquid gases functioning as propellant. They provide a jet of dry inert gas that acts like compressed air for a quick and safe removal of dust particles and other dry contaminants on the surface of the lcd panel or the glass panel. Attention: The dust remover contains a liquid gas.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting General tips • E-2320 C If one display from a multi-head system exhibits problems, try to eliminate the problem by switching video cables or power supplies. In that way you can find out if the problem resides in the display or not.
Troubleshooting Problems and solutions Problem description Possible tests or solutions Screen remains black • Please check the installation procedure in this manual • If the LED at the front is orange, the display is in stand-by • Check in the Windows Display Properties if the display controller video heads are attached. If not, there will be no image on the screen. • The graphic board resolution may bee too low. See note below.
Troubleshooting Problem description Possible tests or solutions Image contains not enough grayscales • Adjust the Display Function to DICOM by means of the NioWatch software • You may have installed the driver software with an inappropriate selection of Palette Settings. Install the driver software again and set Palette Settings to 24/32 bit color.
Troubleshooting Problem description Possible tests or solutions The previous image remains slightly visible on the screen • This phenomenon, called “image sticking” is normal if the same image has been on the screen for a long time. The ghost image will disappear after some time. Over 10 hours operation with the same image content is not recommended. Switching on DPMS on display and PC and activating a good screen saver may decrease the risk of image sticking (image retention).
Troubleshooting 6. Reboot the computer. After reboot, the signal from the graphic board should now be visible on the display.

Technical Information Display Function A Display Function describes how a display device converts the video signals at the inputs into light. In the context of a medical viewing station, a display device is the combination of display controller (graphics board) and display. The display function is a graph that shows how the light from the display panel evolves from minimum to maximum luminance while the data levels at the input of the display controller go from 0 to maximum.
Technical Information Presets and Internal memory system The memory of the display contains maximum 200 fixed and 28 programmable Presets. When you connect a video signal, the display checks in the memory for a matching Preset. If it finds one, it selects the corresponding settings and parameters from the memory. If it does not find a matching Preset, the display uses default settings to display the image. When you make adjustments and save the changes, the current Preset is saved as programmable Preset.
