Warnings and precautions Cautions when in use Always keep the touch panel clean • This optical touch panel utilizes infrared rays and may operate incorrectly if the infrared transmissive part becomes soiled. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the infrared transmissive part once every day. Use a power supply within the rated voltage range • Be sure that the power supply used conforms to the rated voltage. Use with a power supply exceeding the rating may cause incorrect operation or malfunction.
Warnings and precautions Maintenance ∗Be sure to unplug the USB cable before cleaning the equipment. Clean the inside of the equipment once a year. • The equipment is of semi-sealed construction, so dust may eventually accumulate inside. This may cause poor operation due to a reduction in the level of infrared light available for touch detection. Cleaning frequency will vary depending on the setup location; if in doubt consult the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment.
