Warning
Use only shielded cables to
connect I/O devices to this
equipment.
You are cautioned that
changes or modifications
not expressly approved by
the manufacturer for com-
pliance with the above
standards could void your
authority to operate the
equipment.
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 reason-
able protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instructions, may 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 televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-
ment off and on, 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 receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The LCD PC is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To ensure that does not happen, follow
these suggestions:
1. Don’t drop it. Make sure it’s on a stable surface. If the computer falls, the case and other
components could be damaged.
2. Don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away from any kind of heating
element. Keep the computer out of direct sunlight.
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. Keep it dry. This is an electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the
computer could be badly damaged.
5. Be careful with power. The computer has specific power requirements.
• A steady, uninterrupted power supply is necessary. If you are unsure of your local power specifica-
tions, consult your dealer or local power company.
• The power cord may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The third prong is an
important safety feature; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not have access to a compatible
outlet, have a qualified electrician install one.
• 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.

cleaning & servicing
UL®
Mainboard Battery Note
CAUTION: Danger of explosion
if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended
by the manufacturer. Discard
used battery according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
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 rain or other liquids.
- If the computer does not work normally when you follow
the operating instructions.
- If the computer has been dropped or damaged.

In the Box
INTHE BOX
Out of the box, you should have the following:
1. The LCD PC
2. Keyboard (optional)
3. Power cord
4. Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s
Manual CD-ROM (including the
electronic version of this manual
in Adobe Acrobat “PDF” format)
5. User’s manual
Keep the packing materials in a safe place in case you need them for shipping or long-term
storage.

the Manual
THE MANUAL
This manual explains the hardware and essential software you need to operate your system.
Depending on how your system is configured, some or all of the features described may al-
ready be set up.
;;
;;
;
Advanced Notes
Advanced users should check
the light pink boxes which look
like this.
You’ll find tips and more detailed
information about the
computer’s various features.
“Beginners” are welcome too. As
you get used to your computer,
you may be surprised at how
much of this stuff you can under-
stand.
NOT-SO-ADVANCED USERS
If you are new to the wonders of computers, or just feel like a
beginner, you should still look over all of the documentation.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything the first time
around. Just keep this manual near your computer, and learn
as you go.
No matter what your level, please pay careful attention to
warning and safety information indicated by the “0” sym-
bol. Also pay careful attention to the safety information in
the Preface.
ADVANCED USERS
If you’re an “advanced” user, you may want to skip over most
of this manual. However, you should still look at Chapter 2:
Getting Started. Also look at Chapter 3: Advanced Controls &
Chapter 4: System Utilities. Information that might be of par-
ticular interest to you is indicated by the “;” symbol.

NOT HERE
Operating systems (e.g. Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me,Windows 2000 Professional,
Windows NT 4.0, etc.) have their own manuals as do applications (e.g. word processing and
database programs). If you have questions about those programs, you should consult those
manuals.

Quick Start Guide
QUICK START GUIDE
This quick start guide assumes that you’re already familiar with LCD PCs and can tell at a
glance what and where all the key components are.
If you’re not that comfortable with this sort of device, take a look at the following pages for an
overview of the system.
In any case, you should review these steps, before you take any action. If you aren’t sure about
one of the procedures, check the relevant chapter before continuing.
Unless you have to install an operating system, your computer is ready to work right out of the
box.
But, before you begin, follow the safety instructions in the Preface, especially the instruction
on placement.
1. Remove all packing materials, CDs/DVDs,
floppy disks and any PC Cards.
2. Securely attach any peripherals you want
to use with the LCD PC (e.g. mouse and key-
board) to their ports. (See Fig. 1 - 8)*.
3. Attach the AC power cord to the AC-in port
on the computer’s right side. Then plug the
AC power cord into an outlet.
4. Push the power button to turn “on”.
* Peripherals which connect to the USB
and (optional) IEEE 1394 ports can be con-
nected after
Windows is up and running.
All other peripherals must be connected
before you turn on the system.

SYSTEM MAPS
The LCD PC has a lot of built-in features. The operating system automatically enables most of
them. Further explanations (if necessary) of the various subsystems are covered in the chap-

Model Differentiation
This manual applies to two models. Both mainly differ in external apperance with
minor differences in standard functions. The illustrations in this manual are general-
ized representations. Your system’s features may be shaped differently, but the func-
tions we’ve described are identical.

Power button as Standby or Hibernate button
If you are using an ACPI-compliant operating system, such as
Windows Me or Windows 2000 Professional , the power button
can be designated as Standby or Hibernate button within your
OS’s “Power Managment” or “Power Options” subsystem. (Refer
to Chapter 3, “Advanced Controls” of this manual & your OS’s
user documentation for details.)
Forced Off
If the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn’t work when the
system hangs, press the power button for 4 seconds to force the
system to turn itself off.
