Precautions for Safe Use

Do not press down hard on the display area of EM8 with hard objects. It may break the LCD panel and may

cause injuries. Also, do not press down on the panel with sharp objects such as mechanical pencils or drivers.

It may damage the displays.

Installing EM8 in areas out of the range of the specification will cause failures.

Do not use in areas where temperature rises and dwells rapidly. It may cause failures.

Avoid areas where rapid temperature change could cause condensation. It may cause failures.

Do not put any kind of liquid, such as water, or any metal parts into EM8. It may cause failures or electric

shocks.

Do not use or keep EM8 in locations with exposure to direct sunlight, high temperature, fine particles,

humidity, and/or vibrations.

Do not use or keep in areas where gasified chemicals are exuded into the air, or where chemical

contamination can occur.

Acid, Alkali, other saline chemicals: Failures due to corrosion

Organic solvents: Fire

If the surface of EM8 gets dirty, wipe with a dry, soft cloth damped with a neutral detergent then wrung dry. Do

not use thinner or organic solvents.

LCD of display will deteriorate with ultraviolet rays. Do not use or keep in areas under strong ultraviolet rays.

When stored in sub-ambient temperature, LCD of display might coagulate and cause damage to the panel.

Also, when stored in over-ambient temperature, the LCD will turn into isotropic liquid and will not turn back to

its original state. Please store in specified ambient temperature.

After turning off the power of EM8, leave for a while before turning the power back on. It might not function

normally.

Be sure to take back-up assuming the loss of data in the EM8 in an event of an unexpected accident.

3-3 Handling of LCD Panels

1) The LCD display contains skin-irritating materials. If liquid materials flow out due to damage and comes in

contact with skin, wash the area under running water for at least 15 minutes. If it gets into the eyes, wash

under running water and consult a doctor.

2) The LCD display might have uneven brightness according to the contents being displayed. This is not a

malfunction.

3) Minute spots (dark or bright) may occur in the LCD display elements. This is a basic characteristic of the LCD

display and not a malfunction.

4) When LCD display is viewed outside the specified view angel, the color might seem different. This is a basic

characteristic of the LCD display and not a malfunction.

5) When displaying a same image for a long period of time, it might cause an image lag. This is a basic

characteristic of the LCD display and not a malfunction.

In order to avoid image lags, please follow the below procedures:

1. When leaving the same image displayed, use the” display off” function.

2. Change the image displayed periodically and do not display the same image for a long period of time.

3-4 Handling of Resistive Touch Screen

1) Please be warned that applications that require for one point to be pressed for a prolonged time may cause

failures due to the touch screen's structural characteristics.

2) The touch screen is made of glass. Glass becomes easy to break if it gets scratched. Please handle as not to

hit glass or hard objects

3) Due to the characteristics of the touch screen, pressing a little outside the display area may detect it as the

coordinates of the edge of the touch panel. Please consider the application carefully and design the

application.

4) Touch screen coordinates may shift due to aging or depending on its operating environment. Conduct

calibration of the touchscreen to correctly set the coordinates.

5) Please be careful when handling the glass. The glasses are not chamfered and can easily cause injuries.

3-5 Handling of Projected Capacitive Touch Screen

1) If elements that change ambient environments or electric fields (capacitors with large capacity, power units,

and materials with high permittivity such as metals) are set close to the product, it might have impact to the

coordinate detection. Make sure to keep a good distance from the above unstable elements as much as

possible when designing.

2) Due to the characteristics of the touch screen, its functions might become unstable according to the

environment it is installed. For correct operations, perform sensitivity sensor calibration when building into a

device. Also if at any time the touch screen operation become unstable due to changes in environment or

installation conditions, perform sensitivity sensor calibration.

3) The touch screen surface is made of glass. Glass is subject to break once scratched. Please handle with care

and avoid glass from contacting other glass and hard objects.

4) Touch screen may not operate correctly when there is moisture on the surface.

When moisture is detected on the touch screen surface, please wipe it dry before use.

5) When designing applications, consider the fact that area slightly outside the display might be read as a

coordinate due to the characteristics of the touch screen when touched.

6) Be careful when handling the end face of the glass as it is easily injured.
