1.The FPC 5104 does not come equipped with an operating system. An operating system
must be loaded first before installing any software into the computer .
2.Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any static- shielded
devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical charge.
3.Disconnect the power cord from the FPC 5104 before any installation. Be sure both the
system and external devices are turned OFF. A sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive components that the FPC 5104 must be properly grounded.
4. The brightness of the flat panel display will be getting weaker as a result of frequent usage.
However, the operating period varies depending on the application environment.
5.Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth only . Do not
spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen. The FPC 5104 may come with or w/o a touch
screen. Although the touch screen is chemical resist ant, it is recommended that you spray the
liquid cleaner on a cloth first before wiping the screen. In case your system comes without the
touch screen, you must follow the same procedure and not spray any cleaner on the flat panel
directly.
6.Avoid using sharp objects to operate the touch screen. Scratches on the touch screen may
cause malfunction or internal failure to the touch screen.
7.The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or vibration. When assembling the FPC
5104, make sure it is securely installed.
8.Do not open the system's back cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only
a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to
static electricity . To avoid damaging chip s from electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system unit
chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on your body .When
handling boards and components, wear a wrist- grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores.
