FCC
Compliance
This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for a
Class
A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference
in a residential installation. If not installed and used in
accordance
with proper instructions, this equipment might generate or
radiate
radio frequency energy and cause harmful interference to
radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following
measurers:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that
to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with
emission
limits.ou

Safety Precautions
Before getting started, read the following important cautions.
1. The PC 8175 does not come equipped with an
operating
system. An operating system must be loaded first
before
installing any software into the computer.
2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when
installing
the internal components. Use a grounding wrist strap
and
place all electronic components in any static-shielded
devices.
Most electronic components are sensitive to static
electrical
charge.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the PC 8175 before making
any installation. Be sure both the system and the external
devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power could
ruin sensitive components. Make sure the
PC 8175
is properly grounded.
4. The brightness of the flat panel display decreases with usage.
However, hours of use vary depending on the application
environment.
5. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the
system
using a cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner
directly
onto the screen. The PC 8175 may come with or w/o
a touch screen. Although the touch screen is chemical
resistant,
it is recommended that you spray the liquid cleaner
on
a cloth first before wiping the screen. In case your system
comes
without the touch screen, you must follow the same
procedure
and not spray any cleaner on the flat panel directly.
6. Avoid using sharp objects to operate the touch screen.
Scratches on the touch screen may cause malfunction or
internal
failure to the touch screen.
7. The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or vibration.
When assembling the PC 8175, make sure it is securely
installed.

5. Do not open the system’s back cover. If opening the cover for
maintenance is a must, only a trained technician is allowed to do
so.
Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static
electricity.
To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe
the following precautions:
 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an
unpainted
portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds.
This
will help to discharge any static electricity on your body.
 When handling boards and components, wear a
wrist-grounding
strap, available from most electronic
component
stores.
