Safety Information
4.1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
DO NOT operate or work on any electrical
component unless you have read and
understand the instructions and warnings
in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Failure to follow the instructions or heed
the warnings could result in injury or
death. Contact any Caterpillar dealer for
replacement manuals. Proper care is your
responsibility.
4.2 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
AWARENESS
An electrostatic charge can damage the
display, resulting in Color MPD breakdown
or improper operation. Take the following
precautions while installing/removing/
handling the display:
Handle equipment correctly. Use ESD-
protective packaging and material handling
containers that are anti-static and provide
discharge protection and electric field
suppression.
Use protective devices: ESD-protective
workstations and/or work surfaces
(grounding mat, anti-static wrist strap, etc.).
Keep all plastic items away from the
devices. Any plastic item is a potential
static generator. This includes candy
wrappers, foam cups, synthetic carpet,
foam cushions, etc.
The anti-static bag cannot function as a
static dissipating mat.
DO NOT use an anti-static bag for any other
purpose than to enclose a product.
CAUTION
The area with connectors on the back of
the display is the area most vulnerable to
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD). While
handling the Color MPD, extra attention is
required regarding the back of the display.
The display may become damaged or
inoperable if extra care is not taken.
Consult the Electrostatic Discharge
Association for proper procedure during
particular situations: http://www.esda.org
