Preface Thank you for purchasing Digital's TFT type color display panel, the 'FP-790T'(hereafter referred to as "the FP"). The FP is a TFT type color liquid crystal display monitor for Windows compatible personal computers (VGA, XGA and SVGA modes).
This is due to the possibility of a malfunction in the FP or its cable(s), causing the output of a signal that could result in a major accident. All of a system’s major, safety-related switches should be designed to be operated separately from the FP. FP-790T User Manual...
