Chapter 1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the All-In-One 17” TFT-LCD Panel
PC.
Product features
LCD-PC is the all-in-one PC that combines a 17” TFT-LCD monitor
and a desktop computer, offering an ultra light weight of 10Kg and a
modern design that suits any working conditions.
LCD-PC is so user-friendly that anyone can use it without difficulty
because it has all major components in its all-in-one main body.
Even though the LCD-PC is very compact, its functionality is limitless.
It supports out-dated and conventional peripheral devices, adapting to
users’ working environments. It also supports the latest peripheral
devices with its four built-in USB ports (compatible with USB v2.0).
The PC enables wireless networking without additional equipment
using its built-in network adaptor.
The PC’s 17” TFT-LCD display, directly driven by digital signals, offers
a clearer image than that of separate TFT-LCD monitor of the same
class, which is driven by analog signals. Furthermore, it allows for
the use of extended screens and has multi monitor functionality
because it is equipped with an extension port for connecting to
external monitors.
This PC is designed to run best using Windows XP, Microsoft’s latest
operating system. When used with the Windows XP operating system,
you can get a more stable and diverse computing environment.
The adoption of a 17” TFT-LCD monitor minimizes harmful
electromagnetic waves and power consumption. Its design is

Step 1: To set up the computer
To set up the computer that is pre-setup with Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition in step 0:
1. Connect the mouse and keyboard that come with the main body
and turn on the power of the main body. The following “Microsoft
Windows Start” dialog box will be displayed. To continue the setup,
click <Next> at the bottom of the screen.
2. When the “User’s Time Zone” dialog box is displayed, select the
proper time zone for your location and select <Next>.
3. When the “ End Users’ License Agreement” menu is displayed,
select “I accept this agreement” and then click <Next>.
4. When you see the “Your Product Key” page on the screen, enter
the product key specified in Windows XP Home Edition user’s
guide that comes with the purchase of this PC and select <Next>.
5. A dialog box will appear asking you to designate a computer name.
Enter a computer name and computer description in the blanks
and click <Next>.
6. A dialog box will appear asking you how you want to connect to the
Internet. Select the one that best suits your connection and press
<Next>. If your computer is not connected to a network or failed to
establish a network connection, a dialog box with “failed to
establish an Internet connection” will pop up. If you wish to set up
the Internet connection later, click <Skip>. In that case, you can set
up or change the network configuration at [Start]-[Control panel]-
[Network and Internet connection] after you are finished installing
Windows.
7. If you chose a LAN connection for accessing the Internet, a dialog
box reading “High speed connection setup” will be displayed. Fill in
the fields and press <Next>.

13
V 1.0
If you chose DSL or cable modem connections, the below dialog
box will pop up. Follow the instructions to continue the network
connection setup.
8. When you are finished with the Internet connection setup, a dialog
box reading, “Are you going to receive verification service?” will be
displayed. Even though you can have the verification right away to
know whether your copy of Windows is licensed or not, you are
recommended to select “No, not at this time.” This is because it is
better to activate Windows when you test the computer for a while
and you are sure that there are no problems with your new PC.
However, you must activate Windows within 30 days.
9. Lastly, you will see a dialog box asking who will use this computer.
Enter names of users who will share the computer and press
<Next>. To proceed to the next step you have to enter at least one
name.
10.When a dialog box that reads “Thank you!” pops up, this means the
basic setup is complete. Press <Finish> to reboot your computer
and to run Windows XP.
Step 2: The installation of drivers for other peripherals
Skip this step if you do not use other peripherals.
To use other peripherals this PC supports such as printers, serial
communication devices, USB devices, and game consoles/ MIDI
devices, connect the device to the main body, press the power button
and boot the PC. When booting is complete, install the pertinent driver
in the system. Because the system automatically senses and installs
plug-and-play peripherals, follow the instructions displayed on the
setup menu and refer to the device’s user’s guide. For peripherals that
are not plug-and-play, users have to install the device and reboot the
system for normal operation.
Refer to the user’s guide of each device for detailed instructions.
