  • Page 10 Preface WARNINGS Installation Warnings: • High voltage runs through the GLC. To prevent an electrical shock, do NOT disassemble the GLC for any reason other than to replace the backlight. • Do NOT modify the GLC unit. Doing so may cause a fire or an electrical shock.
  • Page 11 Preface WARNINGS • The GLC uses a lithium battery to back up its internal clock and to control memory data. If the battery is incorrectly re- placed (reversed positive [+] and negative [-] ends), the bat- tery may explode. Therefore, Pro-face recommends that you contact your local GLC distributor for instructions before replacing or changing the battery.
  • Page 12 Preface CAUTIONS Be sure that metal filings or wiring remnants do not fall • inside the GLC, since they can cause a fire, accident, or malfunction. GLC Operation and Maintenance Cautions: • Be sure to read the GLC unit’s manual and online help in- formation carefully before performing program changes, entering forced output, or using the RUN, STOP, or PAUSE commands while the GLC is operating.

  • Page 13: General Safety Precautions

    Preface General Safety Precautions • Do NOT strike the touch panel with a hard or pointed object, or press on the touch panel with too much force, since it may damage the touch panel or the display. • Do NOT install the GLC where the ambient temperature can exceed the allowed range.
  • Page 14 Preface About the GLC Unit’s Display Panel • The data that is currently displayed on the GLC unit’s screen, the screen’s brightness, and the GLC unit’s voltage each affect the screen’s inten- sity of Contouring — wavelike pattern that is created when some parts of the screen are brighter than others.
