Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm at all times and your
DisplayVue™ A15 from damage.
Become familiar with the location of the power switch on your DisplayVue™ unit as well as the
emergency power-off switch in your room/building or the electrical outlet that is powering your
DisplayVue™ system. In the event of an emergency where an electrical accident has occurred you can
quickly remove the power from your system.
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or installing system components,
such as the motherboard, LCD, memory, etc. When disconnecting power, you should first power down
the system from within the operating system and then unplug the power from the system.
General Safety Precautions
Keep your work area around the system clean and free of clutter.
Observe caution when removing the front cover glass from DisplayVue™ A15. Use the included pry tool
to help remove the cover glass. When handling or working with the front cover glass, wear thick leather
gloves to protect your hands in the event the glass breaks.
Only professional certified contractors should install DisplayVue™ A15 to a building wall.
DisplayVue™ A15 requires a minimum of two people to install to a wall. One person should be holding
DisplayVue™ A15 in place on the wall while the other fastens it.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into
contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage
electronic components and printed circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufficient to
neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Keep all
electronic components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for
use.
• Touch a grounded metal object before handling
DisplayVue™.
• Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a cha
rge even if
you are wearing a wrist strap.
• Handle PCBs by
their edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or
contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the electronic components and periph
erals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the
power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
