DO’S & DON’TS

(Integrated circuits on All E-PoS System boards are sensitive to static electricity.

To avoid damaging any Components on the computer board, before getting

started, read these following precautions and other instructions and save them for

later reference).

i. Do not remove the computer from the anti-static Packaging until you are ready for

installation.

ii. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the

computer to the power outlet, (110~220 volts).

iii. Connect Rubber Legs provided to avoid damaging Cabinet Cover and Door,

(where provided).

iv. Do not change any Hardware Devices online when System or the device is on and

running, because the sudden surge of power may ruin any sensitive components.
Also make sure the computer is properly grounded.

v. Turn off the computer before cleaning. Always clean with a damp or dry cloth

only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner on screen directly.

vi. The power outlet socket used to plug in the computer power cord must be located

near the system and easily accessible. Do not use outlets on the same circuit of the
system that regularly switch on and off.

vii. If the computer is sharing an extension cord with other devices, make sure the

total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed
the cord’s ampere rating.

viii. Do not expose the power cord, extension cord and power outlet to moisture.

ix. The openings on the computer enclosure are for the cabin ventilation to prevent

the computer from overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.

x. Do not connect any devices to Powered COM Ports (5V/12V), other then the

devices that take power from Powered COM Ports to avoid damaging the Device.

xi. Any Hardware upgrades or changes to be made are to be informed, and do not

tamper with Serial Nos. and Warranty Seals, to avoid Warranty Void.

xii. If the computer is not equipped with an operating system. An operating system

must be loaded first before installing any software into the computer.

xiii. If the computer is equipped with a touch panel, avoid using sharp objects to

operate the touch panel. Scratches on the touch panel may cause mal-calibration
or non-function to the panel.

xiv. The LCD panel display is not subject to shock or vibration. When assembling the

computer, make sure it is securely installed.

xv. Choose an Ideal dust free location and reliable surface for the System with proper

ventilations.
