Preface
Instructions for Care and Operation
The computer is quite rugged, but it can be damaged. To prevent this, follow these suggestions:
1. Don’t drop it, or expose it to shock. If the computer falls, the case and the components could be damaged.
2. Keep it dry, and don’t overheat it. Keep the computer and power supply away from any kind of heating
element. This is an electrical appliance. If water or any other liquid gets into it, the computer could be badly
damaged.
3. Avoid interference. Keep the computer away from high capacity transformers, electric motors, and other
strong magnetic fields. These can hinder proper performance and damage your data.
4. Follow the proper working procedures for the computer. Shut the computer down properly and don’t forget
to save your work. Remember to periodically save your data as data may be lost if the battery is depleted.
5. Take care when using peripheral devices.
IV
Power Safety
The computer has specific power requirements:
•When you want to unplug the power cord, be sure to disconnect it by the plug
head, not by its wire.
•Make sure the socket and any extension cord(s) you use can support the total
current load of all the connected devices.
•Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is disconnected from any external
power supplies.
Do not plug in the power
cord if you are wet.
Do not use the power cord if
it is broken.
Do not place heavy objects
on the power cord.
Before you undertake
any upgrade procedures, make sure that
you have turned off the
power, and disconnected all peripherals
and cables (including
telephone lines).

Preface
Cleaning
Do not apply cleaner directly to the computer, use a soft clean cloth.
Do not use volatile (petroleum distillates) or abrasive cleaners on any part of the computer.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Doing so may violate your warranty and expose you and
the computer to electric shock. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. Unplug the computer
from the power supply. Then refer servicing to qualified service personnel under any of the following conditions:
•When the power cord is damaged or frayed.
•If the computer has been exposed to any liquids.
•If the computer does not work normally when you follow the operating instructions.
•If the computer has been dropped or damaged (do not touch the poisonous liquid if the LCD panel breaks).
•If there is an unusual odor, heat or smoke coming from your computer.

Preface
Ergonomics
We designed your LCD PC system to be functional as well as attractive. To get most out of it, here are
some suggestions on how to position and use the computer:
•The top third of the LCD (screen) should be at eye-level or slightly below.
•The LCD should be at least 18"/45cm. directly in front of you.
•If the screen resolution (e.g. 1024x768) makes you strain to read, change it: In Windows Control
Panel, double-click Display (icon) and click Settings (tab). Then adjust the “Screen area” to something more comfortable (e.g. 800x600).
•Angle the LCD so that it doesn’t reflect any light into your eyes.
•Use a chair which offers good back support (especially lower-back). The seat should allow your feet
to rest flat on the floor or on a footrest directly in front of you.
•If possible, illuminate your work area with natural daylight or use a steady-glowing (non-flickering)
light source.
•Place the keyboard and mouse so that your arms are at your sides and your forearms are roughly par-
allel to the floor. Your wrists should flex slightly downward as you work. Your neck and shoulders
should also be relaxed.
•Take a break from the computer. Get up, stretch, flex your wrists, walk about, and look at something

of interest to you.
Beginners and Not-So-Advanced Users
If you are new to computers, or do not have an advanced knowledge of them,
then you should try to look through all the documentation. Do not worry if you
do not understand everything the first time. Keep this manual nearby and refer
to it to learn as you go. You may find it useful to refer to the notes marked with
a

Not Included
Operating systems (e.g. Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP etc.) have
their own manuals as do applications (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet and
database programs). If you have questions about the operating systems or programs then please consult the appropriate manuals.
System Software
Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where
this is not the case, or where you are re-configuring your computer for a different system, you will find this manual refers to the following operating systems:

Quick Start Guide
Peripheral Devices
Please note that peripherals (printers, digital cameras, etc.)
which attach to your
computer by either
USB or IEEE1394
ports may be connected after Windows is
up and running. All other peripherals must be
connected before you
turn on the system.
This guide assumes that you are already familiar with computers and can tell
at a glance what and where all the key components are. If you are not that comfortable with this type of device, then please refer to the following pages,
which give an overview of the system.
It is still best to review these steps, before taking any action. If there is anything you are not sure about, then please refer to the appropriate chapter before
continuing.
Unless you need to install an operating system your computer should be ready
to work right out of the box. Before you begin please follow the safety instructions in the Preface.
1.Remove all packing materials, CDs/DVDs, floppy disks, and any Pc Cards.
2.Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the computer (e.g.
keyboard and mouse) to their ports.
3.Attach the AC power cord to the AC power-In port on the right of the
computer.
4.Push the power button to turn the computer “on”.
Then plug the AC power cord into an outlet.
