Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-
ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years
from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-
lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous test-
ing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If an
Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware
and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any
onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return
merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows
us to process your return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and
Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product
returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war-
ranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

ing.
4. For plug-in equipment, the power outlet socket must be located
near the equipment and must be easily accessible.
5. Keep this equipment away from humidity.
6. Put this equipment on a reliable surface during installation. Drop-
ping it or letting it fall may cause damage.
7. The openings on the enclosure are for air convection. Protect the
equipment from overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
8. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before con-
necting the equipment to the power outlet.
9. Position the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not
place anything over the power cord.
10. All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted.
11. If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the
power source to avoid damage by transient overvoltage.
12. Never pour any liquid into an opening. This may cause fire or elec-
trical shock.
13. Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, the equipment
should be opened only by qualified service personnel.
14. If one of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked
by service personnel:
a. The power cord or plug is damaged.
b. Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
c. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
d. The equipment does not work well, or you cannot get it to work
according to the user's manual.
e. The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
f. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
15. DO NOT LEAVE THIS EQUIPMENT IN AN ENVIRONMENT
WHERE THE STORAGE TEMPERATURE MAY GO BELOW

UNO-3084 User Manual vi
-10° C (14° F) OR ABOVE 60° C (140° F). THIS COULD DAM-
AGE THE EQUIPMENT. THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE IN A
CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.
16. CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS
INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE
SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER, DISCARD USED BATTERIES ACCORD-
ING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.
The sound pressure level at the operator's position according to IEC 704-
1:1982 is no more than 70 dB (A).
DISCLAIMER: This set of instructions is given according to IEC 704-1.
Advantech disclaims all responsibility for the accuracy of any statements
contained herein.
Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the
products from damage.
1. To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your
PC chassis before you work on it. Don't touch any components on
the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.
2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The
sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may
damage sensitive electronic components.

1.3 Safety Precautions
The following messages inform how to make each connection. In most
cases,
you will simply need to connect a standard cable.
Note: Always disconnect the power cord from your chas-
sis whenever you are working on it.
Do not connect
while the power is on. A sudden rush of power can
damage sensitive electronic components. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open the
chassis.
Note: Always ground yourself to
remove any static elec-
tric charge
before touching UNO-3084. Modern
electronic
devices are very sensitive to static elec-
tric charges. Use
a grounding wrist strap at all
times.
Place all electronic components on a static-
dissipative
surface or in a static-shielded bag.
Note:
If DC voltage is supplied by an external circuit,
please put a protection
device in the power supply
input
port.
