Note:

[2-2]: The resolution and DPI vary with different screen.
[2-3]: When ESLs implement green flashing, they can works for 10 years at room temperature, while 8 years at refrigerating temperature.

The ESLs can perform flashing, page switch, update and other functions, thus the working life of ESLs will reduce due to limitations in Table 2-4.

Table 2-4 Nebular-266 usage scenarios

Name	Description
LED flashing	0.5 hour/day (on=30ms, off=120ms, on=30ms, off=1200ms

flashing)
Frequency of update| Twice/day
Frequency of page switching| Once/day

Notice:

Environment temperature has a great impact on the output capacity of ESL’s power, and the output capacity will have a different level of decline due to low temperature environment.
If the screen is stored or used outside of the above conditions like operating temperature, normal humidity and usage standard, the working life of screen will be affected.

ESLs must be kept working within standard temperature range. If ESLs are working out of the nominal temperature range, the battery life will be shortened.
Try to keep dry environment, to avoid short circuit and component damage due to wetting.
The screen of ESLs should be treated promptly to avoid affecting the screen display effect, and even causing permanent effects on the shell and lenses, such as cosmetics, perfume, etc.
Don’t use chemical detergent to wipe the screen.
It is forbidden to install ESLs in a strong magnetic environment.
Do not violently disassemble the ESLs.
