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 manual, 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

(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
16. CAUTION: 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.
17. CAUTION: Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching
the motherboard, backplane, or add-on cards. 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 on a static-dissipative
surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
18. CAUTION: Any unverified component could cause unexpected damage. To
ensure the correct installation, please always use the components (ex. screws)
provided with the accessory box.
Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your system chas-
sis before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the main board or
other cards while the system is on.
Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush
of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec-
tronic components.
Warning! 1. Input voltage rated: 6 ~36 Vdc (12/24V power) or 18 ~ 58 Vdc
(48V power, option).
2. Transport: carry the unit with both hands and handle with care.
3. Maintenance: to properly maintain and clean the surfaces, use only
approved products or clean with a dry applicator.
4. CF/SD/SIM card: Turn off the power before inserting or removing
CompactFlash storage cards.

TREK-753 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
Advantech-DLoG’s TREK-753 is a new generation, all-in-one 7” mobile data terminal
with touchscreen. Its compact and rugged industrial design is perfect for in-vehicle
use where space, vibration, transient power, and temperature fluctuations will dam-
age most computer equipment. TREK-753 is the higher performing cousin of the
award-winning TREK-743 with its Intel® Atom™ Z510PT/US15 processor, increased
memory, the addition of an analog video input port, GbE LAN, and a rich complement
of I/O ports (additional COM ports, audio, CAN bus, and J1708). TREK-753 has also
been re-engineered to optimize internal space, gained by its full-flat panel touch-
screen; and it has moved the CF/SD/SIM card slot to make it externally accessible,
allowing easy access without having to open the unit.
TREK-753 is built tough. It has an EN 60721-3-5 certification, and meets military
standards for vibration and shock. This ruggedness allows TREK to boldly go where
others dare not, opening a wide range of vertical market applications. TREK-753 is
suitable for taxi and bus transport, in vehicle fleets of all types, in long-haul trucking,
and as an affordable solution to heavy duty vehicle applications. TREK-753 is
designed to operate flawlessly in transient power conditions. It supports 12/24 V
options, operating from 6 ~ 36 volts, and it is ISO7637-2 and SAEJ1113 compliant.
With power-on/power-off delay features which are software configurable, TREK holds
its own in unstable power conditions. And TREK can operate in the temperature
extremes found in vehicle environments.
