    Essential Safety Precautions Essential Safety Precautions This manual describes safety instructions for correct use of the FP unit. Please keep this manual close at hand and refer to it when necessary. The following symbols are used throughout this manual to ensure the safe use of the FP unit.
  • Page 4 Essential Safety Precautions WARNINGS • After the FP unit’s backlight burns out, unlike the FP unit’s “Standby Mode”, the touch panel is still active. If the op- erator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine op- eration error can occur.
  • Page 5 Essential Safety Precautions CAUTIONS • Do not strike the FP unit’s touch panel with a hard or heavy object, or press on the touch panel with too much force, since it may damage the display. • When the surface of the display screen becomes dirty or smudged, clean the display with a cloth soaked in a neu- tral detergent.

  • Page 6: Documentation Conventions

    Documentation Conventions • The displayed color will look different when viewed from an angle outside the specified view angle. This is also normal. • Displaying a single screen image for long periods of time can cause an afterimage to remain. To correct this, turn the unit OFF for 5 or 10 minutes, then turn it ON again.
