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.

• 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.

• DO NOT insert objects through the slots

and openings of the PC. This may lead to elec-

tric shock or an electrical short-circuit or fire that will damage your PC.

• Connect the PC ONLY to an earthed, easy accessible power socket. For disconnecting the PC from the

mains, unplug the power cord from the mains socket.

• DO NOT cover the slots and openings in the PC casing. These openings are for ventila-

tion purposes. Covering these vents may lead to overheating.

• This PC is NOT designed for use within in- dustrial environments.

Safety Connecting Operation Help Appendix

• 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 look directly into the laser, even when wearing eye protection.

PPEERRAATTIIOONNAALL

AAFFEETTY

For U.S. / Canadian purposes: Danger — Invisible laser radiation when open. Avoid direct exposure to

beam.

Danger — radiations invisibles du laser en cas d’ouverture. Eviter toute exposition directe au faisceau.

This product is certified by the manufacturer to comply with DHHS rules 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J, applicable at date of manufacturer. Refer to optical drive labels for additional details.

Please contact Customer Service when:

 ... the power cord or the attached plug is worn or dam-

aged. Have the defective power cord replaced with an original cable. Never try to repair a defective cable.

 ... the housing of the PC is damaged or liquids have pene-

trated. Have the PC checked by Customer Service first. Oth-

erwise it is possible the PC cannot be operated safely which might cause danger to life by electric shock! The power cord is worn or damaged.

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.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using any electronic equipment, basic safety precautions should always be taken. Following the guidelines below can reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to person:

 Do not use this product near water (e.g., near a bathtub,

wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool).

 Avoid using a telephone/modem (other than a cordless

type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

 Do not use the telephone/modem to report a gas leak in

the vicinity of the leak.

 Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this

manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

 Keep batteries away from children at all times.

Safety Connecting Operation Help Appendix

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).

 To provide additional protection against electric shock,

power surges, lightning strikes, or other electrical damage to your PC, we recommend the use of a surge protector.

 Wait until the PC has reached ambient (room) temperature

before turning it on or connecting it to the power adapter. Drastic variations in temperature and humidity can create condensation within the PC and may cause it to short-circuit.

 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.

MODEM/ISDN CONNECTION

DDiiaaggrraamm rreeffeerreennccee:: ZZ

Your PC may be fitted with an analog modem or an ISDN card to prepare your PC for Internet excess and fax operation, according to the equipment.

MODEM

The modem cable has an RJ11 plug, which is plugged into the modem of your PC, and a TAE plug, which fits an N-coded, analogue telephone socket.

 ATTENTION! Please observe that the modem may

only be connected to an analogue telephone line. The connection of a digital system (ISDN etc.) to an analogue telephone line can possibly cause damage to the modem or the connected devices and the telecommunication network.

ISDN

The ISDN cable has RJ45 plugs at either end. It makes no difference which end is plugged into which socket.

1. Connect the matching plug of the enclosed communication cable to jack Z of your computer. Usually the jack is marked with “Line”.

2. Then connect the other plug to the telephone or ISDN outlet.

 ATTENTION! Operate the ISDN unit only with

digital telephone systems. This prevents an inad-

missible operation possibly causing damage to the unit or the connected devices.

CONNECTING SERIAL DEVICES

DDiiaaggrraamm rreeffeerreennccee:: SS ((ooppttiioonnaall))

Because of its asymmetric form the plug only fits into the socket in one position. Hand-tighten the screws.
