OPERATIONAL SAFETY
Please read this chapter carefully and observe all listed notes. This ensures a reliable operation and long life expectancy of your PC.
Do not allow children to play unattended with electrical
equipment. Children are incapable of judging potential risks
properly.
Do not open the PC casing or use the PC with the casing
removed. When the casing is open there is a danger to life
from electric shock.
CD-ROM-/CDRW-/DVD-drives are Laser Class 1 devices.
These lasers must remain in their sealed PC casing. Do not
remove the drive covers, as exposure to the lasers may
prove harmful.
Do not insert objects through the slots and openings of
the PC. This may lead to electric shock or an electrical short-
circuit or fire that will damage your PC.
Do not cover the slots and openings in the PC casing.
These openings are for ventilation purposes. Covering these
vents may lead to overheating.

Switch off your PC immediately or do not switch it on at all
and contact customer service …
… if the power cord or the connectors attached to it are burnt
or damaged. Replace the defective power cord with an original power cord. Under no circumstances may a defective
power cord be repaired.
... if the housing of the PC is damaged or fluids have
leaked into it. Have the PC checked by customer service
first, because the PC may not be safely operated otherwise
and there may be a life-threatening risk of electrocution!
DATA SECURITY
Every time you update your data make back-up
copies on an external storage medium. The supplier does not assume liability for data loss or
damage to data storage units, and no claims can
be accepted for damages resulting from the loss
of data or consequential losses.

Remember that choosing the proper location for your PC is just as
important as connecting it correctly. Place your PC in a stable,
vibration-free area. Detailed below are additional guidelines on
setting up your PC.

POSITIONING THE MONITOR
Ensure that the monitor is set up in such a way that reflections,
glare and light/darkness contrast are avoided.
You should not position the monitor in close proximity to a window, because this is the brightest area of the room because of
daylight. This brightness impedes the adjustment of the eyes to
the darker monitor.
Always position the monitor in a line of sight that runs parallel to
the window front (see picture).
You should also apply a parallel line of sight with respect to artificial lighting. This means that in a room lit by artificial light essentially the same criteria and objectives apply. Should it not be possible to arrange the monitor as outlined above, the following
measures might be helpful:
Turn, lower or incline the monitor.
Place horizontal or vertical shades at the windows.

WORKING IN COMFORT
Take regular breaks from the work at your screen
to prevent tenseness and exhaustion.
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To
minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you maintain proper posture.
• Overall: Change your position frequently and take regular
breaks to avoid fatigue.
• Back: While sitting at your work surface, make sure your
back is supported by the chair’s backrest in erect position or
angled slightly backwards.
• Legs: Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly
downward. Your lower legs should be near a right angle to
your thighs. Your feet should rest flat on the floor. If necessary, use a footrest, but double check that you have your seat
height adjusted correctly before getting a footrest.
• Arms: Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows
close to your sides, with forearms and hands approximately
parallel to the floor.
• Wrists: Your wrists should be as straight as possible while
using the keyboard, mouse or trackball. They should not be
bent sideways, or more than 10 degrees up or down.
• Head: Your head should be upright or tilted slightly for-
ward. Avoid working with your head or trunk twisted.

SET-UP LOCATION
Keep your PC and all units connected to it away from mois-
ture, dust, heat and direct sunlight. Failure to observe
these instructions can lead to malfunctions or damage to the PC.
To prevent damage to your PC from a fall, place and operate
the PC and all connected units on a stable, balanced and vi-
bration-free surface.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The PC can be operated at an ambient temperature of
between 10° C and 35° C (+41° and +95° F) and at a relative
humidity of between 30% and 70% (without condensation).
When powered off, the PC can be stored at temperatures be-
tween -20° C and 50° C (–40° and +158° F).
Unplug the cable during thunderstorms and make espe-
cially sure to remove the antenna cables, if present. We rec-
ommend the use of a surge protector for additional safety,
in order to protect your PC from being damaged by power
peaks or lightning strikes through the power network.
Safety Connecting Operation Help Appendix
Delay operating a PC after transport until the device has ad-
justed to the ambient temperature. In situations of large
temperature or humidity differences condensation may
build up moisture inside the PC, which might cause an elec-
trical short circuit.
Store the original packing safely in case the device must be
transported.

follow the appropriate instructions for each device.
Keep the PC at least one meter (approximately three feet)
away from high frequency and magnetic interference
sources (e.g., televisions, loudspeaker cabinets, mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions and/or loss of
data.
To avoid EMC issues, make sure that all devices are connected
to each cable or that cables not in use are removed from the
computer.
Please note that only shielded cables shorter than
3 metres (9.84 ft) should be used for the LPT, COM, USB, IEEE
1394, audio, video and network interfaces with this PC.
To avoid electromagnetic interferences, please ensure that all
connection cables are attached to the corresponding peripheral
devices. Remove any unused cables.

If your computer’s VGA card is equipped with a TV-Out socket you
can establish a connection to a TV. Depending on the configuration you can use a composite cable (cinch, V), an S-Video cable
(V2) or a SCART cable (V3).
NOTE: These sockets are only for output purpose.
1. Connect your PC and your television with the cord required
for your TV.

source to your PC using an S-Video or composite (cinch) cable.
These connections enable you to record and, if necessary, edit
video data.
1. Connect the plug of the cord to the jack (position K for cinch
and L for S-Video).

USB/IEEE 1394
Warning: Connect your USB-/IEEE 1394 devices
after initial set-up of your new PC. This will pre-
vent unnecessary confusion during installation.
These devices can generally be connected during
operation. Read the manual for your peripheral device first.
The voltage outputs of your PC for IEEE 1394 as well as for USB
are protected by a fuse (limited power source according to
EN60950). This ensures that a malfunction of the PC will not
damage the peripheral devices connected to the respective jacks.

Peripheral devices can have different connecting
cables (6-pole = F, 4-pole = F2). Please check
what kind of cable you need for your peripheral
device.
Important: The connectors of the front side are
not configured for parallel use.

You have a choice of several connection sockets.
It does not matter which you use.
1. If you wish to use a printer, scanner or other device with a
USB port, connect the cable to the USB socket on your PC.
Note: Connect your devices always to the same
port otherwise your operating system will give a new
ID and asks for driver installation.
