Unfortunately, from time to time, faulty products are manufactured which need to be
returned to the Supplier for repair.
Please be aware that if your product is capable of retaining user-generated data (such as
files stored on a computer hard drive, telephone numbers stored on a mobile telephone,
songs stored on a portable media player, games saved on a games console or files stored
on a USB memory stick) during the process of repair, some or all of your stored data may
be lost. We recommend you save this data elsewhere prior to sending the product for
repair.
You should also be aware that rather than repairing goods, we may replace them with
refurbished goods of the same type or use refurbished parts in the repair process.
Please be assured though, refurbished parts or replacements are only used where
they meet ALDI’s stringent quality specifications.
If at any time you feel your repair is being handled unsatisfactorily, you may escalate your
complaint. Please telephone us on 1 300 884 987 or write to us at:

Operational Safety
Please read this chapter carefully and observe all listed notes.
This ensures a reliable operation and long life expectancy of your PC.
Do not allow children to play unattended with electrical equipment. Children are
incapable of judging potential risks properly.
Keep the packing materials, such as plastic sheeting away from children. The dan-
ger of suffocation could arise in the case of misuse.
Do not open the PC casing or use the PC with the casing removed. When the casing
is open there is a danger of electric shock.
Optical drives are Laser Class 1 devices. These lasers must remain in their sealed PC
casing. Do not remove the drive covers, as exposure to the lasers may prove harm-
ful.
Do not insert objects through the slots and openings of the PC. This may lead to
electric shock, electrical short-circuit or fire that will damage your PC.
Do not cover the slots and openings in the PC casing. These openings are for venti-
lation purposes. Covering these vents may lead to overheating. Please keep free a
minimum distance of 20 cm on all sides when setting up the PC.
Switch off your PC immediately or do not switch it on at all and contact the MEDION
Help Desk on 1300 884 987
… if the power cord or the connectors attached to it are burnt or damaged. Replace
the defective power cord with an original power cord. Under no circumstances may
a defective power cord be repaired.
... if the housing of the PC is damaged or fluids have leaked into it. Have the PC
checked by customer service first, because the PC may not be safely operated oth-
erwise and there may be a life-threatening risk of electrocution!
Data Security
Attention!
Every time you update your data, make back-up copies on an external stor-
age medium. The supplier does not assume liability for data loss or damage
to data storage units and no claims can be accepted for damages resulting
from the loss of data or consequential losses.

Setting Up of the PC
Remember that choosing the proper location for your PC is just as important as connect-
ing it correctly.
Operational Environment
Keep your PC and all units connected to it away from moisture, dust, heat and di-
rect sunlight. Failure to observe these instructions can lead to malfunctions or dam-
age to the PC.
To prevent damage to your PC from a fall, place and operate the PC and all con-
nected units on a stable, balanced and vibration-free surface.
Ambient Temperature
The PC can be operated at an ambient temperature of between 10° and 35°C (+41°
and +95°F) and at a relative humidity of between 30% and 70% (without conden-
sation).
When powered off, the PC can be stored at temperatures between -20° and 50°C (–
40° and +158°F).
Unplug the power during thunderstorms and make especially sure to remove the
antenna cables, if present. We recommend the use of a surge protector for addi-
tional safety in order to protect your PC from being damaged by power surges or
lightning strikes through the power network.
Delay operating a PC after transport until the device has adjusted to the ambient
temperature. In situations of large temperature or humidity differences condensa-
tion may build up moisture inside the PC, which might cause an electrical short cir-
cuit.

Ergonomics
Note
Ensure that the monitor is set up in such a way that reflections, glare and
light/darkness contrast are avoided.
You should not position the monitor in close proximity to a window as this is usually the
brightest area of the room and may cause visual impairments during daylight hours.
Always position the monitor in a line of sight that runs parallel to the window. You should
also apply a parallel line of sight with respect to artificial lighting. This means that in a
room lit by artificial light essentially the same criteria and objectives apply. Should it not be
possible to arrange the monitor as outlined above, the following measures might be help-
ful:
Turn, lower or incline the monitor.
Place horizontal or vertical shades on the windows.
Work in Comfort
Note
Take regular breaks from your screen to prevent tenseness and exhaustion.
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimise the potential
for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you maintain proper posture.
Overall:
Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid fatigue.
Back:
While sitting at your work surface make sure your back is supported by the chair’s back-
rest. This should be in an erect position or angled slightly backwards.
