English
the proper operation of the computer.
Some or all of the computer’s features may already have been setup. If they aren’t, or you are planning to re-configure
(or re-install) portions of the system, refer to the expanded User’s Manual. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User’sManual CD-ROM does not contain an operating system.

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.
5. Take care when using peripheral devices.

Power Safety
The computer has specific power requirements:
•The power cord may have either a 2-prong or a 3-prong grounded plug. The third prong
English
is an important safety feature; do not defeat its purpose. If you do not have access to a
compatible outlet, have a qualified electrician install one.
•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.
Mainboard Battery Note
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard a used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Power Safety Warning
Before you undertake
any upgrade procedures, make sure that
you have turned off the
power, and disconnected all peripherals and
cables (including telephone lines).

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 rain or other 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.

Quick Start Guide
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.
English
1. Remove all packing materials.
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. Then plug the
AC power cord into an outlet.
4. Push the power button to turn the computer
“on”.
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.

Operating Systems (e.g. Windows XP) 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 reconfiguring your computer for a different system, you will find this manual refers to the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. Further information on installing the drivers and utilities is available in Chapter 4 of the expanded
User’s Manual on the Device Drivers & Utilities + User’s Manual CD-ROM.

Model Types and Design Differences
There are two model types (pictured below) in this LCD PC series. The model types differ in physical appearance
(Model A’s optical CD/DVD device bay is located on the left side of the computer, Model B’s is at the front) and
their specifications. In addition, Model A has two different designs.

Disk Activity LED Indicators
These display the system’s operational status including
the power status, and read/write activity on the floppy
disk drive, hard disk drive and CD/DVD device (ModelA has a separate indicator for CD/DVD activity ,
English
Model B uses a single indicator for CD/DVD and
HDD activity.)
Power LED Indicator
When the system is powered on and the operating system
running the light will be solid green. When the system is
in the Standby power saving mode, the light will flashorange. When the system is in Hibernate power saving
mode the light will be off.
Reset Button (Model A - Design II only)
Press this button to restart your computer.This button is
equivalent to pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del and only available on Model A - Design II (Figure 2).
Shutdown
Please note that you should always shut your computer
down by choosing the Shut Down/Turn Off Computer
command from the Start menu in Windows. This will
help prevent hard disk or system problems.
Forced Off
If the system “hangs”, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn’t work, press the power button for 4 sec-
onds to force the system to turn itself off.

The Optical (CD/DVD) Device
The computer’s optical device bay contains a CD/DVD type device. It is usually labeled drive D: and may be used as
a boot device if properly set in the BIOS.
CD Emergency Eject
If you need to manually eject a CD/DVD (e.g. due to
an unexpected power interruption) you may push
the end of a straightened paper clip into the emergency eject hole. Do not use a sharpened pencil or
similar object that may break and become lodged in
the hole.
DVD Regional Codes
DVD region detection is device dependent, not OSdependent. You can select your module’s region
code 5 times. The fifth selection is permanent. This
cannot be altered even if you change your operating
system or you use the module in another computer.
Media Warning
Don’t try to remove a CD/DVD while the system is
accessing it. This may cause the system to “crash”.
