Important Safety Precautions
Before getting started, read these instructions and save
them for later reference.
1. Turn off the computer before cleaning. Clean with a
damp or dry cloth only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner
on screen directly.
2. The power outlet socket used to plug in the computer
power cord must be located near the system and easily
accessible. Do not use outlets on the same circuit of
the systems that regularly switched on and off.
3. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct
before connecting the computer to the power outlet.
4. If the computer is sharing an extension cord with other
devices, make sure the total ampere rating of the
devices plugged into the extension cord does not
exceed the cord’s ampere rating.
5. Do not expose the power cord, extension cord and
power outlet to moisture.
6. Install the computer on a reliable surface to prevent
damage caused by dropping.
7. This computer is not equipped with an operating
system. An operating system must be loaded first
before installing any software into the computer.
8. Disconnect the power cord from the computer before
any installation. Make sure both the computer and the
external devices are turned off. The sudden surge of
power may ruin any sensitive components. Also make
sure the computer is properly grounded.
9. During installation of any internal components, be sure
to ground yourself to keep from any static charge.
Most electronic components are sensitive to the static
electric charge. Use a grounding wrist strap and place
all electronic components in any static-shielded
devices.

10. The openings on the computer enclosure are for the
cabin ventilation to prevent the computer from
overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
11. The brightness of the flat panel display will decrease
with use. However, hours of use will vary depending on
the application environment.
12. If the computer is equipped with a touch panel, avoid
using sharp objects to operate the touch panel.
Scratches on the touch panel may cause
mal-calibration or non-function to the panel.
13. The LCD panel display is not subject to shock or
vibration. When assembling the computer, make sure
it is securely installed.
