Safety Approvals
CE Marking
FCC Class A
FCC Complia nce
This equipment has been tes ted in compliance with the l imits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Ru l es. These
lim i ts are meant to provide reasonable protecti on against harmful
interferen ce in a residen tial install ation. If not installed and used i n
accordance with proper instructions, this equipment might generate or
radiate radio frequen cy energy and cause har mful in terference to
radio communications. However, there is no g uarantee that
interferen ce will not occ ur in a particular in stallation. If thi s equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, whic h
can be det er mined by t urnin g the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the i nterference by one or more of the
following methods:
1. Incr ease the separat i on between t he equipment and receiver.
2. C onnec t the eq uipm ent to an other outlet of a cir cuit that
doesn’t connect with the receiver.
3. C onsu lt the dealer or an experienced r adio/TV technician for
help.
Sh i elded in terface cables must be used in order to comp ly with the
emission limits.

Safety Precautions
Befor e gett i ng star ted, please read the following important safety
precautions.
1. The DSA-132 series does not come equipped with an
operat ing system. An operating system must be l oaded first
befor e installing any software into the computer.
2. Be sure to ground yourself t o prevent st atic charge wh en
ins talling the internal components. Use a grounding wrist
strap and place all electron i c components in any staticshi el ded devices. M ost electronic components are sensitive
to static electric al charge.
3. Disconnec t the p ower c or d from th e DSA-132 series before
any installation. Be sure both the sys tem and exter nal
devices are turned OFF. A sudden surge of power could ruin
sensitive components that the DSA-132 series mus t be
properly grounded.
4. Make sure it is the cor r ect voltage of the power source
befor e conn ectin g the equipment to the power outlet.
5. The bri ghtness of the flat p anel di splay wil l be gettin g weaker
as a result of fr equent usage. Howev er , th e operating period
varies depending on the appl ication environment.
6. The flat pan el display is not susc eptible to shock or vibr ation.
When assembling the DSA-132 series, make sure it is
securely install ed.
7. Do not leave this eq uipm ent in an uncontrol led environment
where the storage t emper ature is below 0℃ or above 40℃. It
may damage the equ ipment.
8. External equipment intended for conn ection to signal
input/out or oth er conn ectors s hall com ply with r el evan t
UL/IEC standard .
9. Do not open the back cover of the system. If opening the
cover for mainten ance is a m ust, only a trained technician is
allow ed to do so. In tegrated cir cuits on compu ter boards are
sensitive to static electricity. To a void damaging chip s from
electr ostatic dis charge, observe the following precaution s:
Befor e handling a board or i ntegrated circuit, touch an
unp ai nted portion of the s ys tem unit chassis for a few
seconds. This will help to discharge any static
electr i city on your b ody.
iv
When handling boards and components, wear a wrist-
grounding strap, availab le from most electronic
component stores.
