1.12 Proper Treatment of Your Hitachi Product

Allowing any metal objects, such as screws or paper clips, to fall into the VisionPlate could result in
a short circuit, fire, or other internal damage.
To avoid serious damage, never allow any liquids to spill into any part of your Hitachi product and
never expose the product to rain or other liquids when the peripheral covers are open.
1.12.1 Things to Keep in Mind
• Should any metal object fall into the VisionPlate, immediately turn off the power, unplug the
power cord, and contact Hitachi Customer Service or an authorized Support Representative
for assistance.
• Should the VisionPlate come into contact with rain or water when the peripheral covers are
open, turn the unit off immediately and contact Hitachi Customer Service or an authorized
Support Representative for assistance before attempting to use the product again.
• To avoid the potential of interfering with any airborne electronic navigation equipment,
never operate the Hitachi product in any aircraft, unless an authorized airline representative
has specifically granted permission.
• To prevent a potential malfunction or damage to the equipment, never place the product on
top of or near a heating device; never expose it to prolonged direct sunlight; and never store
it in an unventilated vehicle.
• During lightning storms, always unplug the power cord to protect the VisionPlate from
possible damage caused by a power surge.
• If the VisionPlate incurs damage from being dropped or sharply struck, or if it emits an
uncharacteristic odor or excessive heat, immediately unplug the power cord and shut off the
VisionPlate.
• Contact an authorized Hitachi Customer Service or an authorized Support Representative for
assistance.
• To prevent the possible occurrence of harmful internal condensation, always ensure that the
VisionPlate has been allowed to warm up to room temperature after it has been exposed to
cold temperatures.
• Although the VisionPlate has been designed for commercial environments, excessive dust,
dirt, or moisture can cause possible damage to its internal components.
