This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential
environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with this
user's manual, it may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. Note that even when this equipment is installed and used in
accordance with this user's manual, there is still no guarantee that
interference will not occur. If this equipment is believed to be causing
harmful interference to radio or television reception, this can be
determined by turning the equipment on and off. If interference is
occurring, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
•Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
•Connect the equipment to a power outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Warning: Any changes or modifications made to the equipment
which are not expressly approved by the relevant
standards authority could void your authority to
operate the equipment.
Caution! Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used
batteries according to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.

Packing List
Before installing your Point of Care Terminal, ensure that the following
materials have been received:
•POC-174 series Point of Care Terminal

1.1 Introduction
The POC-174 is a multimedia Pentium® 4 Mobile processor-based
computer that is designed to serve as a Point of Care terminal (POC.) It
is a PC-based system with 17" color TFT LCD display, on-board PCI
Ethernet controller, multi-COM port interfaces and a 16-bit stereo audio
controller. With a built-in CD-ROM drive, floppy drive and PCMCIA
expansion sockets, the POC-174 is as compact and user-friendly as a
notebook computer.
For system integrators, this simple, complete, compact and highly
integrated multimedia system lets you easily build a Point of Care
Terminal into your applications. Common industrial applications
include factory automation systems, precision machinery, and produc-
tion process control. It is also suitable for many nonindustrial applica-
tions, including interactive kiosk systems, entertainment management,
and car park automation. The POC-174 is a reliable, cost-effective
solution to your application's processing requirements.
