2.3 Safety Precautions
Before operating this system, read the following information carefully to protect your
systems from damages, and extend the life cycle of the system.
1. Check the Line Voltage
•The operating voltage for the power supply should be within the range of
100V to 240V AC; otherwise the system may be damaged.
2. Environmental Conditions
•Place your BE-0986 on a sturdy, level surface. Be sure to allow enough
space around the system to have easy access needs.
•Avoid installing your BE-0986 system in extremely hot or cold places.
•Avoid direct sunlight exposure for a long period of time (for example, in a
closed car in summer time. Also avoid the system from any heating device.).
Or do not use BE-0986 when it has been left outdoors in a cold winter day.
•Avoid moving the system rapidly from a hot place to a cold place, and vice
versa, because condensation may occur inside the system.
•Protect your BE-0986 from strong vibrations which may cause hard disk
failure.
•Do not place the system too close to any radio-active device. Radio-active
device may cause signal interference.
•Always shut down the operating system before turning off the power.
3. Handling
•Avoid placing heavy objects on the top of the system.
•Do not turn the system upside down. This may cause the hard drive to
malfunction.
•Do not allow any objects to fall into this device.
•If water or other liquid spills into the device, unplug the power cord
immediately.
4. Good Care
•When the outside case gets stained, remove the stains using neutral washing
agent with a dry cloth.
•Never use strong agents such as benzene and thinner to clean the surface of
the case.
•If heavy stains are present, moisten a cloth with diluted neutral washing
agent or alcohol and then wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth.
•If dust is accumulated on the case surface, remove it by using a special
vacuum cleaner for computers.

WARNING: Always disconnect the power cord when you are
working with connectors and jumpers on the main board.
Make sure both the system and peripheral devices are turned
OFF as sudden surge of power could damage sensitive
components. Make sure BE-0986 is properly grounded.
CAUTION: Observe precautions while handling electrostatic
sensitive components. Make sure to ground yourself to
prevent static charge while you are working on the
connectors and jumpers. Use a grounding wrist strap and
place all electronic components in any static-shielded
devices.
CAUTION: Always touch the motherboard components by
the edges. Never touch components such as a processor by
its pins. Take special cares while you are holding electronic
circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the mainboard
components.
