Safety Instructions
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work
with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive
electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced
electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.

6
Safety Instructions
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU card. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a
grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components in a static-dissipative surface or
static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
Please read these safety instructions carefully.
• Please keep this user’s manual for later reference.
• Please disconnect this equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning. Do not
use acid or caustic liquid or spray detergents for cleaning. The good option is to use a damp cloth.
• Do not touch the LCD panel surface with sharp or hard objects.
• For pluggable equipment, the power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be
easily accessible.
• Place this equipment on a reliable surface during installation. Dropping it or letting it fall could
cause damage..
• Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the equipment to the
power outlet.
• Position the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place anything over the power
cord.
• All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted.
• If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the power source to avoid
damage by transient over-voltage.
• Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, only qualified service personnel
should open the equipment.

Getting Started
The design allows you to use it in radical industrial environments – places
you would not take with normal commercial grade LCDs / Panel PCs. The
mechanical is designed to be embedded in various kind of equipment.
