PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Prior to installing, moving, and modifying the workstation, 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 panel is opened. Do not drop or insert
any objects into the ventilation openings of the workstation.
4. Only qualified engineers from certified system integrators or VARs are
allowed to make necessary functional modifications to the workstation,
e.g., adding a touch screen. IEI offers the customization service on a
pre-order basis.
5. If considerable amount of dust, water, or fluids entered the workstation,
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 series models on transportation vehicles, ships, safety/security
devices, or medical devices not related to life-support functionalities.

IEI®Technology, Corp.
Users/integrators should take the responsibility for implementations with
adequate levels of reliability and safety.
8. Preventive designs should be implemented so as to avoid the
communications faults between the workstation and the
PC/workstation/terminals that controls it. 0.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not drop the workstation against a hard surface. Doing so may
damage the display.
2. Do not strike or exert excessive force onto the touch panel.
3. Touching the touch panel using a sharp object may damage the LCD
panel.
4. Avoid environments exposed to direct sunlight, dust, or chemical vapors.
5. The workstation is actively cooled. In no circumstances should the
workstation operate with the openings obstructed by foreign objects.
However, the ambient temperature of the installation site should be
observed and controlled to avoid overheating the workstation.
6. Condensation might form inside the workstation chassis if exposed to
sudden changes in temperature.
7. Carefully route the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not
place anything over the power cord.
8. 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.
9. 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Note the following precautions before beginning to clean the LCD workstation.
When cleaning any single part or component of the computer, please read and understand
the details below fully.
 Except for the properly installed front LCD panel, 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 with the exterior
casing.
 The interior of the LCD workstation does not require cleaning. Keep fluids
away from the LCD workstation and the interior of it.
 Be cautious of the tiny removable components when using a vacuum cleaner
to absorb the dirt on the floor.
 Turn the system off before cleaning up the LCD workstation.
 Never drop any tiny objects through the openings of the LCD workstation or
get circuit board damp or wet.
 Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when using it for the
sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.
 Avoid any food, drink or cigarette around the LCD workstation.

CLEANING TOOLS
Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of cleaning
the computer and peripherals, users can also use household items to clean their
computers and peripherals. 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 l
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 - Absorb 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 swaps 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 LCD should the need arise for adding a functionality. 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.
