Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.

1. The PC 8153 Series 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 PC 8153 Series 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 PC 8153 Series 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 PC 8153 Series may

come with or w/o a touch screen. Although the touch screen is
chemical resistant, 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 PC 8153 Series, 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 chips 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.
