3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
IKARPC-07A-A9 may result in permanent damage to the
IKARPC-07A-A9 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IKARPC-07A-A9. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the IKARPC-07A-A9 is accessed internally, or any other
electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered
to.
IKARPC-07A-A9 In-vehicle Panel PC
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, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the IKARPC-07A-A9, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IKARPC-07A-A9.
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 off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or
damage to the system.
Page 16
Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
Page 29
IKARPC-07A-A9 In-vehicle Panel PC
Anti-static Discharge : If a user open the rear panel of the flat panel PC, to
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear an anti-static wristband.

B Safety Precautions
Page 67
Page 80
IKARPC-07A-A9 In-vehicle Panel PC
WARNING:
The precautions outlined in this chapter should be strictly followed.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to
the IKARPC-07A-A9.
B.1 Safety Precautions
Please follow the safety precautions outlined in the sections that follow:
B.1.1 General Safety Precautions
Please ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to at all times.
Follow the electrostatic precautions outlined below whenever the device is
opened.
Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disco nnected
whenever the IKARPC-07A-A9 is being installed, moved or modified.
To prevent the risk of electric shock, make sure power cord is
unplugged from wall socket. To fully disengage the power to the unit,
please disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Refer servicing to
qualified service personnel. The AC outlet shall be readily available and
accessible.
Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range.
Doing so may cause fire and/or an electrical shock. Use a power cord that
matches the voltage of the power outlet, which has been approved and
complies with the safety standard of your particular country.
Electric shocks can occur if the IKARPC-07A-A9 chassis is opened when it
is running. To avoid risk of electric shock, this device must only be connected
Page 68
to a supply mains with protective earth.
Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the
IKARPC-07A-A9.
Page 81
IKARPC-07A-A9 In-vehicle Panel PC
If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the device, turn off
the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the
IKARPC-07A-A9 vendor.
DO NOT:
o Drop the device against a hard surface.
o Strike or exert excessive force onto the LCD panel.
o Touch any of the LCD panels with a sharp object
o In a site where the ambient temperature exceeds the rated temperature
B.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
IKARPC-07A-A9 may result in permanent damage to the
IKARPC-07A-A9 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IKARPC-07A-A9. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the IKARPC-07A-A9 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 time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working 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 component by its edges.

B.1.3 Product Disposal
CAUTION:
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Only
certified engineers should replace the on-board battery.
Dispose of used batteries according to instructions and local
regulations.
Outside the European Union–If you wish to dispose of used electrical and
electronic products outside the European Union, please contact your local
authority so as to comply with the correct disposal method.
Within the European Union–The device that produces less waste and is
easier to recycle is classified as electronic device in terms of the European
Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE), and must not be disposed of as domestic
garbage.
EU-wide legislation, as implemented in each Member State, requires that
waste electrical and electronic products carrying the mark (left) must be
disposed of separately from normal household waste. This includes
monitors and electrical accessories, such as signal cables or power cords.
When you need to dispose of your display products, please follow the
guidance of your local authority, or ask the shop where you purchased the product. The
mark on electrical and electronic products only applies to the current European Union
Member States.
Please follow the national guidelines for electrical and electronic product disposal.

B.2 Maintenance and Cleaning Precautions
When maintaining or cleaning the IKARPC-07A-A9, 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. Always 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 IKARPC-07A-A9, please read the details
below.
Except for the LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids 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 require cleaning. Keep fluids away from the
device interior.
Be cautious of all small removable components when vacuuming the device.
Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings of the device.
Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to 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 IKARPC-07A-A9 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 when cleaning the IKARPC-07A-A9.
Cloth– Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of
cloth is recommended when cleaning the device.
Page 71
Page 84
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–Using 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 corrode.
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.
