3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
AFOKAR-08A-RK39
AFOKAR-08A-RK39 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFOKAR-08A-RK39. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFOKAR-08A-RK39 is accessed internally, or any
other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly
adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, f requently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the AFOKAR-08A-RK39, place it
on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFOKAR-08A-RK39.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Installation Precautions
When installing the flat panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below:
Power turned off: When installing the flat panel PC, make sure the power is
off. Failing to turn of f the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or
damage to the system.
Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
AFOKAR-08A-RK39
Page 16
Anti-static Discharge: If a user open the rear panel of the flat panel PC, to
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral dev ices, ground themsel ves
first and wear an anti-static wristband.
3.3 microSD Card Installation
To install the microSD card, follow the instructions below.
Step 1: Remove the retention screw and lift the microSD card slot access panel.
To install the SIM card, follow the instructions below.
WARNING:
The AFOKAR-08A-RK39 is not compatible with a microadapter or a nano-SIM (4FF) adapter. Please install a mini-SIM (2FF or
Standard SIM) card for proper network connection.
NOTE:
Before installing a SIM card for WWAN connection, please make sure a
WWAN
AFOKAR-08A-RK39.
Step 1: Remove the retention screw and lift the SIM card slot access panel.
Step 2: Locate the push-push SIM card slot (Figure 3-4). Insert a SIM card into the slot
to install it. To remove the SIM card, push the SIM card to release it.

B.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
AFOKAR-08A-RK39
AFOKAR-08A-RK39 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFOKAR-08A-RK39. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFOKAR-08A-RK39 is opened and any of the
electrical components are handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly
adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component , touch any
grounded conducting material. During the t im e the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or worki ng with an electrical
component, place it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical c om ponent by its edges.

B.2 Maintenance and Cleaning Precautions
When maintaining or cleaning the AFOKAR-08A-RK39, please follow the guidelines
below.
WARNING:
For safety reasons, turn-off the power and unplug the panel PC
before cleaning.
If you dropped any material or liquid such as water onto the panel
PC when cleaning, unplug the power cable immediately and contact
your dealer or the nearest service center. Alway s make sure your
hands are dry when unplugging the power cable.
B.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning
Prior to cleaning any part or component of the AFOKAR-08A-RK39, please read the
details below.
Except for the LCD panel, never spray or squirt li quids directly onto any other
components. To clean the LCD panel, gently wipe it with a piece of soft dry
cloth or a slightly moistened cloth.
The interior of the device does not requi re cleaning. K eep fluids away from the
device interior.
Be cautious of all small removable component s when vacuuming the device.
Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings of the device.
Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions t o solvents or chemicals used
when cleaning the device.
Avoid eating, drinking and smoking within vicinity of the device.
B.2.2 Cleaning Tools
Some components in the AFOKAR-08A-RK39 may only be cleaned using a product
specifically designed for the purpose. In such case, the product will be explicitly mentioned
in the cleaning tips. Below is a list of items to use wh en cleaning the AFOKAR-08A-RK39.
Cloth– Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of

cloth is recommended when cleaning the device.
Water or rubbing alcohol–A cloth moistened with water or rubbing alcohol
can be used to clean the device.
Using solvents–The use of solvents is not recommended when cleaning the
device as they may damage the plastic parts.
Vacuum cleaner–Usi ng a vacuum specifically designed for computers is one
of the best methods of cleaning the device. Dust and dirt can restrict the
airflow in the device and cause its circuitry to corr ode.
Cotton swabs–Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas.
Foam swabs–Whenever possible, it is best to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs for cleaning.
