• Before setting up the box, carefully read all the documentation that came with the package.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, never expose the zero client to rain or moisture.
• Never try to open the zero client cabinet. The dangerous high voltages inside the zero client may result in serious physical injury.
• If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service technician or your retailer.
• Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer immediately.
• Slots and openings on the back or top of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. Do not block these slots. Never place this product near or over a radiator or heat source unless proper ventilation is provided.
• The zero client should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
• Use the appropriate power plug which complies with your local power standard.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the zero client in any area where it may become wet. Place the zero client on a stable surface.

Care and cleaning

• Before you lift or reposition your zero client , it is better to disconnect the cables and power cord. Follow the correct lifting techniques when positioning the zero client . When lifting or carrying the zero client , grasp the edges of the zero client . Do not lift the zero client by the stand or the cord.
• Cleaning. Turn your zero client off and unplug the power cord. Clean the zero client surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth dampened with mild cleaner.
• Avoid using a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner intended for use with the screen. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen, as it may drip inside the zero client and cause an electric shock.
The following symptoms are normal with the zero client :
• The screen may flicker during the initial use due to the nature of the fluorescent light. Turn off the power switch and turn it on again to make sure that the flicker disappears.
• You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop pattern you use.
• When the same image is displayed for hours, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after switching the image. The screen will recover slowly or you can turn off the power switch for hours.
• When the screen becomes black or flashes, or cannot work anymore, contact your dealer or service center to fix it. Do not try to repair the zero client by yourself!
