Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants the original purchaser that each of its products 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 that have been repaired or altered by
persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or that have been sub-
ject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Advantech assumes no liabil-
ity under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of
our customers never need to use our repair service. If an Advantech product is defec-
tive, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For out-
of-warranty repairs, customers are billed according to the cost of replacement materi-
als, service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you believe your product to be defective, please follow the steps listed below.
1. Collect all information regarding 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 encounter when the
problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any related information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain a return merchandize authori-
zation (RMA) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card, and proof of purchase date (such as a photocopy of your sales
receipt) in a shippable container. Products returned without a proof of purchase
date are not eligible for our warranty service.

Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with the stipulations specified in Part 15 of the FCC regulations.
Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions:
1. The device may not cause harmful interference.
2. The device must accept any interference received, including interference that
can cause undesired operation.
FCC Class A
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the specifications for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC regulations. These standards
were established to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
operating the equipment in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communi-
cations. Thus, operation of this device in residential areas is likely to cause harmful
interference. In such cases, users are required to correct the interference at their per-
sonal expense. Users are advised that any equipment changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance will void the product’s
compliance with the FCC regulations and, therefore, the user's authority to operate
this equipment.
Caution! New batteries are at risk of exploding if incorrectly installed. Do not
attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the battery. Replace the battery
only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufac-
turer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.

4. For equipment that requires a power supply, users are advised to position the
equipment near an easily accessible power outlet socket.
5. Protect this equipment from humidity.
6. Place this equipment on a reliable surface during installation. Dropping or allow-
ing the equipment to fall may cause damage.
7. The equipment cover openings are necessary for air convection. Protect the
equipment from overheating and do not cover the opening.
8. Ensure the power source voltage is correct before connecting the equipment to
a power outlet.
9. Position the power cord away from high-traffic areas. Do not place anything over
the power cord.
10. All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted.
11. If unused for a long time, disconnect the equipment from the power source to
avoid damage from transient overvoltages.
12. Never pour liquids into the cover openings. This may cause fire or electrical
shock.
13. Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, the equipment should only be
opened by qualified service personnel.
14. If any of the following occurs, have the equipment checked by service person-
nel:
The power cord or plug is damaged.
Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
The equipment is exposed to moisture.
The equipment is malfunctioning, or does not operate according to the user
manual.
The equipment has been dropped or damaged.
The equipment shows obvious signs of breakage.
15. Do not leave this equipment in an environment with a storage temperature of
below -20 °C (-4 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F). This may damage the equipment.
The equipment should be stored in a controlled environment.
16. A risk of explosion exists if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace batteries
only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dis-
card used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The sound pressure level at the operator’s position does not exceed 70 dB (A), as
per the IEC 704-1:1982 specifications.
DISCLAIMER: These instructions are provided according to the IEC 704-1 standard.
Advantech disclaims all responsibility for the accuracy of the statements contained

Safety Precautions - Static Electricity
Adhere to the following simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the
products from damage:
To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from the PC chassis
before handling the equipment. Do not touch components on the CPU card or
other cards when the PC is powered on.
Disconnect the power supply before implementing configuration changes. A
sudden rush of power after connecting a jumper or installing a card may dam-
age sensitive electronic components.

2.1 Jumpers
2.1.1 Jumper Description
Cards can be configured by setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close
an electric circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected
by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To close a jumper, con-
nect the pins with the clip. To open a jumper, simply remove the clip. Some jumpers
have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case, connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and
3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be required to adjust the jumpers. For advice
regarding the optimum hardware configuration for your needs, contact your local dis-
tributor or sales representative before making any changes.
Generally, a standard cable can support most connections.
2.1.2 Jumper List

Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn the power supply off
before setting jumpers.
