Safety Information
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever
you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is
on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power
surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the
CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric
charges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at all times.
Place all electronic components in a static-dissipative surface or static-
shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
Safety Precautions
Please read these safety instructions carefully.
Please keep this user's manual for later reference.
Please disconnect this equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid or spray detergents for cleaning. Use a damp cloth.
For pluggable equipment, the power outlet must be installed near the equipment and
must be easily accessible.
Keep this equipment away from humidity.

equipment to the power outlet.
Position the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place anything over
the power cord.
All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted.
If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the power source to
avoid damage by transient over-voltage.
Never pour any liquid into an opening. This could cause fire or electrical shock.
Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, only qualified service personnel
should open the equipment.
If any of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by service
personnel:
oThe power cord or plug is damaged.
oLiquid has penetrated into the equipment.
oThe equipment has been exposed to moisture.
oThe equipment does not work well or you cannot get it to work according to the

user’s manual.
oThe equipment has been dropped and damaged.
oThe equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage
temperature is below -20° C (-4°F) or above 60° C (140° F). It may damage the
equipment.
CAUTION –Use the recommended mounting apparatus to avoid risk of injury.
WARNING –Only use the connection cords that come with the product. When in
doubt, please contact the manufacturer.
WARNING –Ground against electrostatic damage to the device by taking the
following preventive steps:
oCover workstations with approved anti-static material. Use a wrist strap connected
to a work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
oUse anti-static mats, heel straps, or air ionizer for added protection.
oHandle electrostatic-sensitive components, PCB’s and assemblies by the case or
the edge of the board.
oAvoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
oTurn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test
equipment.
oKeep the work area free of non-conductive materials, such as ordinary plastic
assembly aids and Styrofoam.
oUse filed service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuum cleaners that are
conductive.
oAlways lay drivers and PCB’s with the component side down on anti-static foam.

2 Getting Started
This chapter provides information on how to connect the device to the source of power,
connector pinouts and the guideline to turn on/off the Panel PC.
2.1 Powering On
2.1.1 AC Adapter Components
Safety Precautions:
Do not use the adapter in a high moisture environment
Never touch the adapter with wet hands or foot
Allow adequate ventilation around adapter while using
Do not cover the adapter with paper or other objects that will reduce cooling
Do not use the adapter while it is inside a carrying case
Do not use the adapter if the cord is damaged
There are NO serviceable parts inside
Replace the unit if it is damaged or exposed to excess moisture
While using the AC Adapter always:
Plug-in the power cord to easy accessible AC outlet
Plug-in the AC adapter to a grounded outlet
1. AC Adapter
2. Power Cord
3. Terminal Block

2.1.2 Power Considerations
The device operates on external DC power. Use the AC adapter included in the package.
CAUTION/ATTENTION
Use only the AC adapter included in your package
(Rating: Output 12V/6.6 A). Using other AC adapters may damage
the device.
ALTERNATING CURRENT
This product must be grounded. Use only a grounded AC outlet.
Install the additional PE ground wire if the local installation
regulations require it.
*If you do not use a grounded outlet while using the device, you may
notice an electrical tingling sensation when the palms of your hands
touch the device.

2.1.3 Connecting the Power
Connecting to the Power Source
1) Connect the 3-pin terminal block.
2) Screw the Terminal block to fix the cable.
3) Connect terminal block to the Panel PC.
Once the device is connected to the source of power it is ready to work.
2.2 Turning On Your Device
To turn on the Panel PC:
1. Press the power on switch to turn the Panel PC on.
2. Press “DEL” to enter the CMOS setting and check the BIOS setup.

2.3 Installing Operating System (OS)
You may install your own OS if it is not installed. When installing OS to this Panel PC,
please follow the steps and use external equipment such as Keyboard and Mouse.
(a) Use external USB DVD-ROM to run the OS and Driver settings (as shown on the
picture below)
2.4 Adjusting the LCD Display Brightness
1. Tap the arrow on the system tray to display the hidden icons.
2. Double-tap the icon ( ) to display the brightness menu.
3. Drag the brightness bar to adjust the brightness level according to your
preference.

2.5 Connectors
2.5.1 Wiring Requirements
The following common safety precautions should be observed before installing any
electronic device:
• Strive to use separate, non-intersecting paths to route power and networking
wires. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross make sure the wires
are perpendicular at the intersection point.
• Keep the wires separated according to interface. The rule of thumb is that
wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics may be bundled together.
• Do not bundle input wiring with output wiring. Keep them separate.
• When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the
system.
Safety Precautions:
• Do not run signal or communication wiring and power
wiring in the same conduit. To avoid interference, wires
with different signal characteristics (i.e., different
interfaces) should be routed separately.
• Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing
and/or wiring your device.
• Verify the maximum possible current for each wire
gauge, especially for the power cords. Observe all
electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable
for each wire gauge.
• If the current goes above the maximum ratings (80
W), the wiring could overheat, causing serious
damage to your equipment.
• Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged
in, the internal components generate a lot of heat which
may lead the outer casing too hot to touch.

2.5.2 Connector Pinouts
This Panel PC comes with various interfaces located on the bottom panel. The IO
placement varies by processor and screen size of the Panel PC.
The pin assignments of the cables are as follows:
