Safety Approvals
CE Marking
FCC Class A
FCC Compliance
This equipment has been tested in compliance with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are meant to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. If not installed and used in
accordance with proper instructions, this equipment might generate or
radiate radio frequency energy and cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following methods:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment to another outlet of a circuit that
doesn’t connect with the receiver.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with the
emission limits.

iv
Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important safety
precautions.
1. The FDK does not come equipped with an operating system.
An operating system must be loaded first before installing
any software into the computer.
2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when
installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist
strap and place all electronic components in any static-
shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive
to static electrical charge.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the FDK before any
installation. Be sure both the system and external devices
are turned OFF. A sudden surge of power could ruin
sensitive components that the FDK must be properly
grounded.
4. The brightness of the flat panel display will be getting weaker
as a result of frequent usage. However, the operating period
varies depending on the application environment.
5. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the
system using a cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner
directly onto the screen. The FDK may come with or w/o a
touchscreen. Although the touchscreen is chemical resistant,
it is recommended that you spray the liquid cleaner on a
cloth first before wiping the screen. In case your system
comes without the touchscreen, you must follow the same
procedure and not spray any cleaner on the flat panel
directly.
6. Avoid using sharp objects to operate the touchscreen.
Scratches on the touchscreen may cause malfunction or
internal failure to the touchscreen.
7. The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or vibration.
When assembling the FDK, make sure it is securely installed.
8. Do not open the system’s back cover. If opening the cover
for maintenance is a must, only a trained technician is
allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are
sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from
electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

v
zBefore handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an
unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few
seconds. This will help to discharge any static
electricity on your body.
zWhen handling boards and components, wear a wrist-
grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores.
