Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Prior to installing, moving and modifying the embedded system, make sure
that the unit’s power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected.
2. Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range. Doing so
may cause fire or an electrical shock.
3. Electric shock can occur if the embedded system is opened. Do not drop or
insert any objects into any openings of the embedded system.
4. Only qualified engineers from certified system integrators or VARs are
allowed to make necessary modifications to the embedded system.
5. If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the embedded system,
turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the
vendor.
6. Explosions may occur with installations in environments where flammable
gases are present.
7. Fault-tolerant and failsafe designs should be implemented with the use of the
embedded system on transportation vehicles, ships, safety/security devices,
or medical devices not related to life-support functions. Users/integrators
should take responsibility for adequate levels of reliability and safety.
8. Preventive designs should be implemented so as to avoid communications
faults between the embedded system and the devices it controls.0.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not drop the embedded system against a hard surface.
2. Do not strike or exert excessive force onto the embedded system.
3. Avoid exposing the embedded system to direct sunlight, dust, or chemical
vapors.
4. Condensation might form inside the embedded system chassis if exposed to
sudden changes in temperature.
5. Carefully route the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place
anything over the power cord.
Page 5

ECW-281BB6 Embedded System
6. If the equipment should be left unused for an extended period of time,
disconnect it from the power source to avoid damage by transient
over-voltage.
7. If any of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by service
personnel:0.
o The power cord or plug is damaged.
o Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
o The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
o The equipment does not work properly, or the user cannot get it to work
according to the user manual.
o The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
o The equipment shows obvious signs of breakage.
WARNING!
Any changes or modifications made to the equipment that are not
expressly approved by the relevant standards could void the authority
to operate the equipment.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Note the following precautions before beginning to clean the embedded system.
When cleaning any single part or component of the computer, please read and
understand the details below fully.
 Never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any computer component. To clean
the device, please rub it with a piece of dry and soft cloth or a slightly
moistened cloth.
 The interior of the embedded system does not require cleaning. Keep fluids
away from the embedded system and the interior of it.
 Turn the system off before cleaning the embedded system.
 Never drop any objects through the openings of the embedded system or get
the circuit board damp or wet.
Page 6

ECW-281BB6 Embedded System
 Be cautious of any cleaning solvents or chemicals used when cleaning the
embedded system as some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.
 Avoid any eating, drinking or smoking near the embedded system.
CLEANING TOOLS
Below is a list of items to use while cleaning the computer or computer peripherals. Please
keep in mind that some components in the computer may only be cleaned using a product
designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be mentioned in the
cleaning tips.
 Cloth - 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, it is
recommended to rub it with a piece of cloth.
 Water or rubbing alcohol – 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.
 Vacuum cleaner - Removing 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.
 Cotton swabs - Cotton swabs moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in the keyboard, mouse, and
other locations.
 Foam swabs - Whenever possible it is better to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs.
ESD PRECAUTIONS
Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling the components contained
within the embedded system should the need arise to remove any of the chassis panels.
The use of a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad is recommended. Avoid dust
and debris or other static-accumulating materials in the work area.
