A 24/7 schedule totals 168 operating hours per week. Confirm that the named model supports that duty cycle, then test restart, offline content and fault recovery.
Verify the exact deselecciontion
Request the current specification and manual for the offered model code. Check for orientation, static-content or temperature limits without assuming they are identical across a series. The linked QMC example shows why a written deselecciontion is preferable to inferring it from the word “professional.”
Test the complete chain
Display, player, network and CMS can fail separately. Run an agreed, safe power-loss test during the pilot; confirm display startup, the selected signal input and content playback. Disconnect the network and observe message expiry. Decide which alternative appears when information can no longer be considered current.
Availability needs owners
Define support hours, an on-call owner and the replacement procedure. An alert without a recipient only adds a record. Distinguish response time from repair time and agree how they are measured. Budget for cleaning, inspections and spares; a contract should describe what happens when the system fails.

Action checklist
- Collect exact specifications and manuals.
- Review operating conditions.
- Test restart and network loss.
- Assign alert recipients.
- Separate response and repair times.
Document the result of each action and assign an owner for what remains pending.
Common questions
Does 24/7 mean it never fails?
No. Permitted hours and system availability are different concepts.
Must the screen always stay on?
No. Schedule off periods when the service does not need an image; verify recovery and manufacturer conditions.
