Safety warnings and precautions

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE GROUNDED
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power outlet which is effectively grounded through normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must have three cores and be correctly wired to provide connection to the ground. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power outlet is grounded or that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if you are in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power outlet, please consult a qualified electrician.
The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable. The AC receptacle (mains socket outlet) shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. To completely disconnect this equipment from the AC mains, disconnect the power cord plug from the AC receptacle.

Important safety instructions

  1. Do not use this apparatus near water.
  2. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
  3. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
  4. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
  5.  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
  6.  Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
  7.  Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/ apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

Notes on this display

  • To prevent the risk of physical injuries, do not attempt to lift the display alone.
  • Make sure you have four or more people available to help lift or a flat cart to transport the display to its final location.
  • Keep the display horizontal as much as possible.

Notes on the LCD panel of this display

  • The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel of this display has a very thin protective layer of glass which is liable to marking or scratching, and cracking if struck or pressured. The liquid crystal substrate is also liable to damage under excessive force or extreme temperatures. Please handle with care.
  • The response time and brightness of the LCD panel may vary with the ambient temperature.
  • Avoid placing the display in direct sun or where direct sun or spot lighting will shine onto the
  • LCD panel, as the heat may damage the panel and the external casing of the display, and the bright light will make viewing the display more difficult than necessary.
  • The LCD panel consists of individual pixels to display images and is manufactured according to the design specifications. While 99.9% of these pixels work normally, 0.01% of the pixels may remain constantly lit (in red, blue or green) or unlit. This is a technical limitation of the LCD technology and is not a defect.
  • LCD screens, like plasma (PDP) and conventional CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) screens, are also susceptible to ‘screen burn-in’ or ‘image retention’ which can be found on the screen as visible fixed lines and shades. To avoid such damage to the screen, avoid displaying still images (like On-Screen Display menus, TV station logos, fixed/inactive text or icons) for more than 30 minutes. Change the aspect ratio from time to time. Fill the entire screen with the image and eliminate the black bars whenever possible. Avoid displaying images in 16:9 aspect ratio over a long period of time, otherwise there may be visible burn marks on the screen as two vertical lines.
  • Note: Under certain circumstances, condensation may occur on the inner side of the cover glass, it’s a natural phenomenon and will not affect the operation of the display. This condensation will usually disappear after around 2 hours of normal operation.
  •  RE series does not offer image retention function. For more information, please refer to installation guide. If a still image is required for a display, it is recommended to enable Pixel shift.
  • RE series does not support portrait use; portrait use may cause display damage. BenQ warranty will not cover faulty usage.

Notes on cleaning the display
Please clean the frame when there is sign of malfunction on the touch screen.

  1. Before you clean the screen, make sure the display is turned off, and unplug the power cord.

  2. Remove dust or dirt from the screen with a dry cleaning cloth. Make sure to use minimal force, and don’t press hard on the screen.
    – Never use paper towels or anything that could leave streaks or lint on the screen.

  3.  Moisten a clean soft, lint-free cloth with some cleaning alcohol such as 70% isopropyl.
    Gently go over the entire screen and wipe it down.
    – Never use hazardous chemicals or ammonia-based cleaners
    – Never fully soak the microfiber cloths in liquid.
    – Never spray liquids directly onto the screen.
