Quick Links

• When connecting the GP's power cord to the GP, be sure the cord has
first been unplugged from the power outlet to prevent the possibility of
an electric shock.
• With the exception of changing the GP's backlight, do NOT open the
GP's case, since high voltage runs through the GP and touching an in-
ternal part can lead to an electric shock.
• Do not use power beyond the GP's specified voltage range. Doing so
may cause a fire or an electric shock.
• Do not modify the GP's design, since it may lead to a fire or an electric
shock.
• Do not use the GP in an environment where flammable gases are present,
since operating the GP may cause an explosion.
• The GP uses a lithium battery for backing up its internal clock data. If
the battery is incorrectly replaced (i.e. its + and — sides are reversed),
the battery may explode. When changing the battery, please contact
your local GP distributor.
• Do not use GP touch panel switches in life-related or important disaster
prevention situations. For safety related switches, such as an emer-
gency switch, be sure to use a separate mechanical switch.
• To prevent operator injury or machine damage, be sure to design your
machine operation system so that the machine will not malfunction due
to a communication fault between the GP and its host controller.
To Prevent From Damage:
• Do not strike the GP's touch panel with a hard or heavy object, or press
on the touch panel too strongly since it may damage the display.
• Do not install the GP where the temperature will exceed its specified range.
• Be sure that water, liquids or metal particles do not enter the GP, since
it may cause a malfunction or a short circuit.
• Avoid installing the GP where sudden, large changes in temperature
may occur. These changes may cause condensation to form inside the
unit, possibly causing a malfunction.
• To prevent excessive heat from building up inside the GP, do not in-
stall it where its ventilation holes may be blocked. Also, do not install
or store the GP near high temperature equipment.
• Do not install or store the GP where direct sunlight or high levels of dust exist.
• Since the GP is a precision instrument, do not install or store it where
either strong shocks or excessive vibration may occur.
• Do not install or store the GP in an area containing chemicals or chemical
fumes.
• Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the GP's case or
screen.
• Due to the danger of unforseeable accidents, be sure to back up all data regu-
larly.
• After turning this unit OFF, be sure to wait a few seconds before turning
ON again. If the unit is started within a few seconds, it may not start up
correctly.
