About this Concise User Guide
This quick guide is a brief introduction to getting your system started. This is a supplement, and not a substitute for
the expanded English language User’s Manual in Adobe Acrobat format on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s
Manual CD-ROM supplied with your computer. This CD-ROM also contains the drivers and utilities necessary for
the proper operation of the computer.
Some or all of the computer’s features may already have been setup. If they aren’t, or you are planning to re-configure
(or re-install) portions of the system, refer to the expanded User’s Manual. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s
Manual CD-ROM does not contain an operating system.
Regulatory Information
Regulatory notices and information are contained in the expanded User’s Manual on the Device Drivers & Utilities
+ User’s Manual CD-ROM.

Instructions for Care and Operation - 3
Concise User’s Guide
English
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 element. This is an
electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly damaged.
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.
5. Take care when using peripheral devices.

4 - Instructions for Care and Operation
Concise User’s Guide
English
Power Safety
The computer has specific power requirements:
• 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.

Power Safety Warning
Before you undertake
any upgrade proce-
dures, make sure that
you have turned off the
power, and disconnect-
ed all peripherals and
cables (including tele-
phone lines).

Mainboard Battery Note
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Discard a used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Instructions for Care and Operation - 5
Concise User’s Guide
English
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 com-
puter to electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug the computer from the power sup-
ply. 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 (do not touch the poisonous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).
• If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your computer.

6 - Quick Start Guide
Concise User’s Guide
English
Quick Start Guide
This guide assumes that you are already familiar with computers and can tell at a glance what and where all the key
components are. If you are not that comfortable with this type of device, then please refer to the following pages,
which give an overview of the system.
1. Remove all packing materials.
2. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use
with the computer (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to
their ports.
3. Attach the AC power cord to the AC power-In
port on the right of the computer. Then plug the
AC power cord into an outlet.
4. Push the power button to turn the computer
“on”.

Peripheral Devices
Please note that peripherals (printers, digital cameras, etc.) which at-
tach to your computer by either USB or IEEE1394 ports may be con-
nected after Windows is up and running. All other peripherals must
be connected before you turn on the system.

Not Included
Operating Systems (e.g. Windows XP) have their own manuals as do applications (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet
and database programs). If you have questions about the operating systems or programs then please consult the ap-
propriate manuals.
System Software
Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where this is not the case, or where you are re-
configuring your computer for a different system, you will find this manual refers to the Microsoft Windows XP op-
erating system. Further information on installing the drivers and utilities is available in Chapter 4 of the expanded
User’s Manual on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual CD-ROM.

Model Types and Design Differences
There are two model types (pictured below) in this LCD PC series. The model types differ in physical appearance
(Model A’s optical CD/DVD device bay is located on the left side of the computer, Model B’s is at the front) and
their specifications. In addition, Model A has two different designs.

Disk Activity LED Indicators
These display the system’s operational status including
the power status, and read/write activity on the floppy
disk drive, hard disk drive and CD/DVD device (Model
A has a separate indicator for CD/DVD activity ,
Model B uses a single indicator for CD/DVD and
HDD activity.)
Power LED Indicator
When the system is powered on and the operating system
running the light will be solid green. When the system is
in the Standby power saving mode, the light will flash
orange. When the system is in Hibernate power saving
mode the light will be off.
Reset Button (Model A - Design II only)
Press this button to restart your computer. This button is
equivalent to pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del and only avail-
able on Model A - Design II (Figure 2).

Shutdown
Please note that you should always shut your computer
down by choosing the Shut Down/Turn Off Computer
command from the Start menu in Windows.This will
help prevent hard disk or system problems.
Forced Off
If the system “hangs”, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key com-
bination doesn’t work, press the power button for 4 sec-
onds to force the system to turn itself off.

CD Emergency Eject
If you need to manually eject a CD/DVD (e.g. due to
an unexpected power interruption) you may push
the end of a straightened paper clip into the emer-
gency eject hole. Do not use a sharpened pencil or
similar object that may break and become lodged in
the hole.
DVD Regional Codes
DVD region detection is device dependent, not OS-

code 5 times. The fifth selection is permanent. This
cannot be altered even if you change your operating
system or you use the module in another computer.
