Safety Approvals
CE Marking
FCC Class B
FCC Compliance
This equipment has been tested in compliance with the limits for a
Class B 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, read the following important safety precautions.
1. The MPC170-831-DC 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 MPC170-831-DC 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 MPC170-831-DC must be
properly grounded.
4. Make sure it is the correct voltage of the power source
before connecting the equipment to the power outlet.
5. 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.
6. 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 MPC170-831-DC 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.
7. Avoid using sharp objects to operate the touchscreen.
Scratches on the touchscreen may cause malfunction or
internal failure to the touchscreen.
8. The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or vibration.
When assembling the MPC170-831-DC, make sure it is
securely installed.
9. Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment
where the storage temperature is below -20℃or above 60℃.
It may damage the equipment.
10. External equipment intended for connection to signal

v
input/out or other connectors, shall comply with relevant
UL/IEC standard (e.g. UL 60950 for IT equipment and UL
60601-1/IEC 60601 series for medical electrical equipment).
In addition, all such combinations shall comply with the
standard IEC 60601-1-1, safety requirements for medical
electrical systems. Equipment not complying with UL 60601-
1 shall be kept outside the patient environment, as defined in
the standard.
11. 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:
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.
Classification
1. Degree of production against electric shock: not classified
2. Degree of protection against the ingress of water: IPX1
3. Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a
flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
4. Mode of operation: Continuous
5. Type of protection against electric shock: Class I equipment

General Cleaning Tips
You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the
computer. When you clean any single part or component for the
computer, please read and understand the details below fully.
1. When you need to clean the device, please rub it with a
piece of dry cloth.
2. Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you
use a vacuum cleaner to absorb the dirt on the floor.
3. Turn the system off before you start to clean up the
component or computer.
4. Never drop the components inside the computer or get
circuit board damp or wet.
5. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals
when you use it for the sake of cleaning. Some individuals
may be allergic to the ingredients.
6. Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the
computer.
Cleaning Tools:
Although many companies have created products to help improve the
process of cleaning your computer and peripherals users can also
use household items to clean their computers and peripherals. Below
is a listing of items you may need or want to use while cleaning your
computer or computer peripherals.
Keep in mind that some components in your computer may only be
able to be cleaned using a product designed for cleaning that
component, if this is the case it will be mentioned in the cleaning.
zCloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing
up a component. Although paper towels or tissues can be
used on most hardware as well, we still recommend you to
rub it with a piece of cloth.
zWater or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth
a bit with some water or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the
computer. Unknown solvents may be harmful to the plastics
parts.
zVacuum cleaner: Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette
particles, and other particles out of a computer can be one
of the best methods of cleaning a computer. Over time
these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and cause
circuitry to corrode.

vii
zCotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol
or water are excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in
your keyboard, mouse, and other locations.
zFoam swabs: Whenever possible it is better to use lint free
swabs such as foam swabs.
Note We strongly recommended that you should shut down
the system before you start to clean any single
components.
Please follow the steps below:
1. Close all application programs
2. Close operating software
3. Turn off power switch
4. Remove all device
5. Pull out power cable

viii
Scrap Computer Recycling
If the computer equipments need the maintenance or are beyond
repair, we strongly recommended that you should inform us as soon
as possible for the suitable solution. For the computers that are no
longer useful or no longer work well, please contact us for recycling
and we will make the proper arrangement.
