Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

Safety notes 2
2.1 General safety instructions
CAUTION
Please observe the safety instructions on the back of the cover sheet of this
documentation. You should not expand your device unless you have read the relevant
safety instructions.
This device is compliant with relevant safety directives to IEC, VDE, EN and UL. If you have
questions about the validity of the installation in the planned environment, please contact
your service representative.
Opening the device / repairs
Only authorized technical personnel are allowed to repair device components.
WARNING
Unauthorized opening and improper repairs can cause considerable damage to property or
danger for the user.
System expansions
Only install system expansion devices designed for this device. Installation of other
expansions may damage the system or violate safety requirements and RF interference
suppression regulations. Contact your technical support team or where you purchased your
PC to find out which system expansion devices may safely be installed.
CAUTION
If you install or exchange system expansions and damage your device, the warranty
becomes void.

Safety notes
2.1 General safety instructions
SIMATIC IPC647C
10 Operating Instructions, 12/2010, A5E02669337-02
Use of earphones/headphones
Excessive sound pressure of earphones/headphones can result in hearing impairment /
hearing loss.
Setting the volume and the equalizer to a setting other than the medium, will increase the
output voltage of the earphones/headphones and therefore the sound pressure value.
The use of factors that influence the output power of the earphones/headphones (such as
operating system, equalizer software, firmware, driver) and that are not approved by the
manufacturer, may increase the output voltage of the earphones/headphones and therefore
the sound pressure value.
Battery
This device is equipped with a Lithium battery. Batteries may only be replaced by qualified
personnel.
CAUTION
There is the risk of an explosion if the battery is not replaced as directed. Replace only with
the same type or with an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of
used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
WARNING
Risk of explosion and release of harmful substances!
Therefore, do not throw Lithium batteries into an open fire, do not solder or open the cell
body, do not short-circuit or reverse polarity, do not heat up above 100° C, dispose of in
accordance with regulations and protect against direct exposure to sunlight, moisture and
condensation.

Safety notes
2.1 General safety instructions
SIMATIC IPC647C
Operating Instructions, 12/2010, A5E02669337-02 11
ESD directives
Modules containing electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDs) can be identified by the following
label:
Strictly follow the guidelines mentioned below when handling modules which are sensitive to
ESD:
● Always discharge your body´s static electricity before handling modules that are sensitive
to ESD (for example, by touching a grounded object).
● All devices and tools must be free of static charge.
● Always pull the mains connector and disconnect the battery before you install or remove
modules which are sensitive to ESD.
● Handle modules fitted with ESDs by their edges only.
● Do not touch any wiring posts or conductors on modules containing ESDs.
