Preface
Instructions for Care and Operation
The computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions:
1. Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be damaged.
2. Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away from any kind of heating ele-
ment. This is an electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly dam-
aged.
3. Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transformers, electric motors, and other
strong magnetic fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.
4. Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the computer down properly and don’t forget
to save your work. Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost.
5. Take care when using peripheral devices.

Preface
Power Safety
The computer has specific power requirements:
• When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug head, not
by its wire.
• Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total current
load of all the connected devices.
• Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external power
supplies.
Do not plug in the power
cord if you are wet. Do not use the power cord if it is broken. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.

Preface
Cleaning
Do not apply cleaner directly to the computer, use a soft clean cloth.
Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may violate your warranty and expose you and the
computer to electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug the computer from the
power supply. Then refer servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the following conditions:
• When the power cord is damaged or frayed.
• If the computer has been exposed to any liquids.
• If the computer does not work normally when you follow the operating instructions.
• If the computer has been dropped or damaged (do not touch the poisonous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).
• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your computer.

Preface
Ergonomics
We designed your Multimedia PC system to be functional as well as attractive. To get most out of it, here are
some suggestions on how to position and use the computer:
• The top third of the LCD (screen) should be at eye-level or slightly below.
• The LCD should be at least 18"/45cm. directly in front of you.
• If the screen resolution (e.g. 1024x768) makes you strain to read, change it: In Windows Control Panel, double-click
Display (icon) and click Settings (tab). Then adjust the “Screen area” to something more comfortable (e.g. 800x600).
• Angle the LCD (see “Tilting the LCD Screen” on page 1 - 10) so that it doesn’t reflect any light into your eyes.
• Use a chair which offers good back support (especially lower-back). The seat should allow your feet to rest flat on the
floor or on a footrest directly in front of you.
• If possible, illuminate your work area with natural daylight or use a steady-glowing (non-flickering) light source.
• Place the keyboard and mouse so that your arms are at your sides and your forearms are roughly parallel to the floor.
Your wrists should flex slightly downward as you work. Your neck and shoulders should also be relaxed.
• Take a break from the computer. Get up, stretch, flex your wrists, walk about, and look at something else for about 10
minutes every hour.
