Information on the return of electrical and electronic waste
in EU countries according to Directive 2002/96/EC, and its implementation in respective national regulations
a) Reason and Purpose of Separate Collection
Users of electrical and electronic equipment are required to dispose of used devices separately. Electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed of together with unsorted
municipal solid waste (domestic refuse), as it contains a range of dangerous elements that
cause problems for waste management. Separate collection from regular municipal waste
is a prerequisite for the special treatment and appropriate recycling of electrical and electronic waste. This is essential, as many components of electrical and electronic devices are
damaging to the environment if they are not disposed of professionally. Disposing of the
devices along with unsorted municipal waste can cause harmful substances to enter the
waste flow. The consequence would be a considerable burden on the environment.
b) Significance the ‘Crossed-Out Wheelie Bin’
The crossed-out wheelie bin is the symbol for separate collection.
Electrical and electronic equipment marked with this symbol must not be
disposed of to-gether with municipal sorted waste (domestic refuse). Such
items can be handed in free of charge at public collection points.
c) Reuse, Recycling and Recovery
Electrical and electronic waste contains valuable raw materials such as iron, aluminum
and copper. These components must be treated selectively. A separate collection and a
selec-tive treatment are the basis for environmentally-friendly disposal and protection of
human health.
According to the particular terms, manufacturers are obligated to assume the costs associated with disposing of these devices as well as other obligations. This is to promote the
chief objectives of reuse and recycling. For this to be possible, consumers must dispose of
used devices that are no longer needed at communal collection points. Actively using these
return and collection systems contributes to the reuse, recycling and recovery of electrical
and electronic equipment and protects the environment.
d) Weight
Information on the weight of the acquired product can be found on the item list as well as
on the packaging.

Wireless LAN
(wireless network - abbreviation = WLAN)
Your PC may contain a wireless LAN module (optional). This module allows you to set up a
wireless-based network, and to connect to an existing wireless network. It works according
to the IEEE802.11a+b+g standard.
WLAN technology allows users to set up wireless connections inside a local area (e.g. in
a company or campus building, or in a public building such as an airport). WLANs can be
used in temporary offices, in locations where it is not possible to set up extensive cable
installations, or to extend an existing LAN so that users in different parts of a building can
work at different times.
There are two different ways to operate a WLAN. In fixed WLANs, wireless stations (devices
with radio network cards or external modems) set up connections with wireless access
points, which act as bridges between the stations and the existing network backbone. In
Peer-to-Peer (ad hoc) WLANs several users can set up a temporary network within a limited
area such as a conference room, without using access points, and providing there is no
need to use network resources.
In 1997 the IEEE confirmed the standard 802.11 for WLANs; this set a data transfer rate of
from 1 to 2 Mbit/s (Megabits per second). With 802.11a+b+g, the new governing standard,
the maximum data transfer rate is 54 Mbit/s over a frequency band of 2.4 or 5 GHz (Gigahertz)
.

Positioning the Computer
Please take note of the following criteria for creating a practical and safe workplace when
setting up your computer:
Temperature and humidity
The computer can be used anywhere the temperature is suitable for people. However,
rooms with humidity over 70%, and dusty or dirty areas are not appropriate. In addition, do
not expose the PC to temperatures over +35°C or under +10°C.
Make sure that you avoid temperature changes that could lead to condensation. If moisture
has accumulated on the surface of your computer, wait until the moisture has dried completely (approximately one to two hours), before you switch the device on.
The operational reliability of a device that has been exposed to condensation cannot be
guaranteed.
Connecting the computer
Make sure that the cables connecting the PC to peripheral devices are not under tension.
Avoiding risk of stumbling
Make sure that all power and connection cables are positioned so that they are not trip
hazards.
23MAXDATA Ultra Small Desktop
Data storage media
When you save data to your PC’s hard disk or to a floppy disk, it is stored as magnetic
information on the medium. Make sure that data is not damaged by magnetic or electromagnetic fields.
Avoid jarring
Because the electronics in your computer can be damaged by jarring, no mechanical devices
should be placed on the same surface as the PC. This is especially important for impact
printers whose vibrations could damage the hard disk.
Allow for ventilation
There is a fan on the back of the PC that maintains the proper temperature inside the case.
In order for it to function properly, the ventilation slots must not be blocked. Blocking them
would cause the inner components to be damaged by high temperatures. That is why it is
not appropriate to install the PC in a shelf unit or drawer.
Servicing / Maintenance / Cleaning
Please ensure that the device is unplugged before commencing any
cleaning, servicing or maintenance tasks.

Connecting a Mouse
In addition to the PS/2 port there are USB ports and a serial mouse port (COM1) on the
rear side of the computer.
Depending on the type of mouse plug you can attach the mouse to the PS/2 port, to the
USB port or to the serial interface. It is recommended to connect the mouse directly or by
means of an adapter to the PS/2 socket with the mouse symbol.
In this way you can use the USB and serial ports for other peripheral equipment.
Connecting the Keyboard
The PS/2 socket for connecting the keyboard is located on the rear side of the device. Connect the keyboard plug to the PC via the correspondingly marked socket. Always connect
plugs to the PC carefully and without forcing.

Connecting a Printer
Printers are normally distinguished by two different types of connection: parallel or USB
interfaces. Many printers feature both options. It is recommended to connect the printer
to the parallel interface. This retains your USB connection which you can use for a range
of other devices.
When connecting the printer to the parallel port of the computer, both devices must be
switched off.
The printer is connected to your PC by a printer cable (not included). The parallel printer interface has 25 pins. It is located on the back of your computer and is marked accordingly.
Connect the printer cable to the parallel port of your PC (see figure). Plug the other end of
the cable into the port of your printer.
/ If your printer has a USB plug, it is essential to read the operating
instructions BEFORE connection. For example, you will often have to
install the driver first. Note that before you use the printer for the first
time, you must remove the transport protection and insert the ink or
toner cartridge. See the user guide for the printer for further information. Frequently, you must also install the appropriate printer driver.
You can find the necessary information in the printer user guides.

The Keyboard
The keyboard is divided up into 5 logical units:
1. Function keys
The 12 function keys are labeled F1 through F12.
The function keys have various functions depending on the software application.
The function keys can also be used in combination with the <Shift>, <Ctrl>
or <Alt> keys.
2. Separate control keys
With the <Print Screen> key, the current screen content will be copied into the
clipboard. The screen content can be copied into any application. When used
in combination with the <Alt> key, only the active window will be copied.
The <Scroll Lock> key changes the way the cursor and the <Page Up> and
<Page Down> keys function.
The <Pause> key is used to interrupt the screen data feed in a DOS environment. For some games this key is also used to pause play.
37MAXDATA Ultra Small Desktop
3. The numeric keypad and cursor block
The <NumLock> key (top left) is used to toggle between the two functions imprinted on the keys. If the <NumLock> LED is illuminated, the
numbers are activated; else the secondary function (Cursor, Home, Page
Up etc.) is active.
4. The control keys
The <Insert> key is used to toggle between the overwrite and insert
modes.
When the <Delete> key is pressed, any highlighted character or one
character to the right of the beam cursor will be deleted.
Use the <Home> key to move the cursor to the beginning of a line.
The <End> key has the opposite function of the <Home> key and positions the cursor at the end of a line.
Use the <Page Up> key to scroll back through text by one monitor screen
in a word processing tool; use the <Page Down> key to scroll forward
through the text.
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor in the respective direction.
38

5. The typewriter keys
The typewriter keys consist of keys with numeric, alphanumeric and special characters.
They are arranged like the keys on a standard typewriter.
The <Enter> key is labeled with an angled arrow pointing to the left. It is
used to confirm predefined or manually entered commands.
Use the <Shift> key in order to write capital letters or to produce the symbols printed above the keys (!Ҥ etc.).
Press the <Caps Lock> key once to enter all characters as capitals. When
this function is activated, the corresponding LED will light up. Pressing this
button again will deactivate this function.
The <Backspace> key erases a single character to the left of the cursor.
Press <Space> to enter a blank space.
The <Alt> and <Ctrl> keys are used in combination with other keys in order
to execute shortcuts. For example, when using a Microsoft® Windows®
operating system, the key combination [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del] will launch the
task manager.
In most word processing applications, the <Tab> key will move the cursor
a certain distance to the right or, when the <Shift> key is held down, to
the left.
Press the special Microsoft® Windows® key to open the Start menu.
Use the <Application> key to display a pop-up menu of the currently selected application. Pressing the <Application> key is the same as clicking
the right mouse button in some applications.
