CAUTIONS
- Please use this product’s standard power cable instead of other types to avoid burning the monitor and cause a safety risk.
- In case of electric shock, the back cover should not be opened by non-technical maintenance staff.
- Before operation, please check the compatibility between the local voltage and the monitor’s rated voltage. If the monitor will not be used for a long period, the user should remove the plug from the power socket.
- Please use a single-phase power supply socket and make sure the earth wire is well connected.
- Do not install or put the machine near places with a heat source such as hot stoves, heat-transfer tubes, power amplifiers, sources of direct strong light, dust, high humidity, and places with mechanical vibration. To achieve better performance, please keep the monitor away from high voltage distribution networks, large metal objects, radar stations, etc.
- If an abnormal sound and smell appear, cut off the power supply and unplug the device immediately. Stop using it and ask technical staff to resolve the problems.
- If the monitor will not be used for a long time, please unplug the power cable for safety.
- Avoid liquid and metal entering the device. If any liquid or metal falls into the device, please shut the monitor down and cut off the power supply immediately and contact technical maintenance personnel to repair it.
- Do not use chemical reagent to wipe the machine, solvent may cause deterioration or damage to the paint surface. Disconnect the power supply and wipe it with a cloth if there is dust or dirt. Use a clean, soft cloth to wipe the screen gently.
- Do not switch off/on the device frequently in a short time in case that it will affect the lifetime of the interactive touch monitor. After the normal shutdown, please wait about three minutes or longer before turning on the device.
- To extend the service life of the LCD screen, please do not set display brightness and contrast to the maximum value for long periods.
- Don’t place the interactive touch monitor on an unstable stand, bracket, or table, otherwise, the monitor may fall and cause damage.

- The best distance between the eyes of the viewer and listener and the screen is 5 to 7 times of screen diagonal.
- If wall mounting in a normal cement wall, solid wall or wood wall ensure it can withstand three times the weight or more of the interactive touch display and please ensure good ventilation condition; For the mounting on a special wall (such as steel structure wall, hollow structure, glass, marble, etc.), it is recommended that you must evaluate force bearing of the wall first.
- Avoid the interactive touch monitor being exposed to direct sunlight, as it will accelerate the interactive touch monitor aging, and may cause abnormalities of the touch device.
- When writing on the screen, please do not use hard or sharp objects instead of a writing pen.
- Take a 10-minute break after watching for 30 minutes. Children under two years should not watch the screen. Children above two years old should not watch the screen for more than an hour a day.

DEVICE INSTALLATION
The mounting bracket should use the rack or mount that is designated by the
manufacturer. If the mounting bracket is not from the manufacturer, the
bearing capacity should be ensured not less than 4 times its actual bearing
weight. The bearing capacity of the support for bearing the mount should not
be less than 4 times its actual bearing weight, and ensure the interactive
monitor is stable.
The mounting surface for the interactive monitor should be firm with enough
bearing capacity and should not be less than 4 times its actual bearing
weight. When the mounting surface is the wall or rooftop of buildings, it must
be solid brick, concrete, or another strong equivalent mounting surface. If
the mounting surface is made of loose materials (old building brick wall,
wood, solid brick wall…), metal or non-metal structures, or the decoration
layer of the mounting surface is too thick, the strength of the surface is
deficient and corresponding reinforcement and support measures should be taken
to avoid a safety hazard.
-
Step1. Install the holder on the back of IFPD
-
Step2. Install the wall holder parts to the wall
-
Step3. Hang the IFPD to the wall mount
