12. If the equipment is left idle for a long time, disconnect it from the power source
to avoid damage from transient overvoltage.
13. If the device is losing dramatic time or the BIOS configuration has reset to the
default settings, the battery has no charge.
14. The device is equipped with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit. Batteries
are at risk of exploding if incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equiv-
alent type as recommended by the manufacturer.
15. Discard all used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To pro-
tect the environment, follow all national requirements for disposing of the equip-
ment.
16. Improper installation of a VESA mount can result in serious personal injury.
Therefore, VESA mount installation should only be conducted by a qualified
technician. Contact a qualified service technician or your sales representative
for this service. Mount installation instructions are provided in Appendix A.
17. For users, when operating the equipment, do not touch the SIP/SOPs and the

18. When networking with electrical devices, the operator is responsible for ensur-
ing that the resulting system meets the requirements set forth by the following
standards:
–EN 60601-1 (IEC 60601-1)
Medical electrical equipment
Part 1: General requirements for safety
–EN 60601-1-1 (IEC 60601-1-1)
Medical electrical equipment
Part 1-1: General requirements for safety
Collateral standard: Safety requirements for medical electrical systems
–EN 60601-1-2 (IEC 60601-1-2)
Medical electrical equipment
Part 1-2: General requirements for safety
Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility; requirements and tests
Caution! Do not leave the equipment in an uncontrolled environment with a stor-
age temperature of below -20 °C (-4 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F) as this
may damage the equipment.
Caution! Do not replace the battery by yourself. Contact a qualified technician or
your local sales representative for assistance.

19. All accessories connected to the analog and digital interfaces must comply with
the respective nationally harmonized IEC standards (i.e., IEC 60950 for data
processing equipment, IEC 60065 for video equipment, IEC 61010-1 for labora-
tory equipment, and IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore, all con-
figurations must comply with the IEC 60601-1-1 specifications. Any person who
connects additional equipment to the signal input or output port is configuring a
medical system and, therefore, is responsible to ensure the system remains
compliant with IEC 60601-1-1 specifications. The equipment is designed for
exclusive interconnection with IEC 60601-1-certified equipment in the patient
environment and IEC 60XXX-certified equipment outside of the patient environ-
ment. If in doubt, consult Advantech’s technical services department or your
local sales representative.
20. Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the equipment is connected to
an equivalent receptacle marked “hospital only” or “hospital grade”.
21. The equipment should be powered by an approved power cable that supports
the voltage of the power outlet and complies with relevant safety standards in
your particular country.
Caution! Use suitable mounting apparatus to avoid risk of injury.
Warning! Do not modify the equipment without express authorization from the
manufacturer.
Warning! To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must be connected to a
