FCC Compliance

This equipment has been tested in compliance with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are meant to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. If not installed and used in
accordance with proper instructions, this equipment might generate or
radiate radio frequency energy and cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following methods:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment to another outlet of a circuit that
doesn’t connect with the receiver.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.

Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with the
emission limits.

Safety Precautions

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

1. The PC 8172 Series does not come equipped with an

operating system. An operating system must be loaded firs t
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 static­shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive
to static electrical charge.

3. Disconnect the power cord from the PC 8172 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 8172 Series must be
properly grounded.

4. The brightness o f 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 8172 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 8172 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:

3

a

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.

a

When handling boards and components, wear a wrist-

grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores.
