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.
Keep the packing materials, such as plastic sheeting away from children. The dan-
ger of suffocation could arise in the case of misuse.
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.
Optical 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, 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 venti-
lation purposes. Covering these vents may lead to overheating. Please keep free a
minimum distance of 20 cm on all sides when setting up the PC.
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!

Power Supply
Do not open the housing of the mains adapter. Opening the housing may cause
death by electrical shock. The housing contains no parts requiring maintenance.
The mains adapter should only be operated using earthed sockets with AC 100-
240V~, 50/60 Hz. If you are not certain of the electrical supply at the installation location, ask the power supplier.
The socket must be located near the All-In-One PC and must be easily accessible.
Use the enclosed mains adapter with the enclosed mains connection cable only.
The adapter possesses an on/off switch. If the switch is on OFF (0), no power is re-
quired and the All-In-One PC will not be supplied with power.
For additional safety, we recommend the use of an overvoltage protector, in order
to protect your All-In-One PC from damage by voltage peaks or lightning carried
through the power network.
If you use an extension cord, be sure that it satisfies the VDE-GS requirements. If in
doubt, ask your electrical installer.
If you wish to separate the mains adapter from the power network, first pull the
plug out of the socket und then pull the plug on the All-In-One PC. Pulling the
plugs in the wrong order may damage the mains adapter or the All-In-One PC.
When pulling the plug, hold the plug itself. Never pull on the cord.
Note
Be sure to shut down the All-In-One PC properly before separating it from
the power or turning it off.

Ambient Temperature
The PC can be operated at an ambient temperature of between 10° 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 between -20° and 50°C
(–40° and +158°F).
Unplug the cable during thunderstorms and make especially sure to remove the an-
tenna cables, if present. We recommend 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.
Delay operating a PC after transport until the device has adjusted to the ambient
temperature. In situations of large temperature or humidity differences condensation may build up moisture inside the PC, which might cause an electrical short circuit.
Ergonomics
Note
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 as this is usually the
brightest area of the room and may cause visual impairments during daylight hours.
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.

The Hard Drive
The hard drive is the main storage medium combining large storage capacity and rapid
data access.
The hard drive contains the operating system of the computer, other application programs
and backup files. These programs and files are pre-installed on your PC, so you may note
that some of the space on your hard drive is already taken.
The Windows operating system cannot use the full capacity of the hard drive, which
means that there will be a difference between the capacity that the BIOS displays and what
the operating system displays. The operating system of the PC, further application programs and backup files are located on the hard drive and reduce its total capacity.
The hard drive is addressed as drive C and D.
Note
Never switch off the computer while the busy indicator is lit since this may
result in loss of data. A flickering hard drive display is your indication that the
All-In-One PC is accessing the hard drive.
Usually your hard disk is divided into more partitions. The configuration of your hard drive
can be displayed and configured under "Disk Management". To familiarise yourself with
the hard drive configuration, search Windows Help for the key word "Disk Management".
In your first partition (C:\) you will find the operating system, application programs and
the users’ documents.
The second partition (D:\) serves for data security and contains additional drivers
(D:\Driver) and tools (D:\Tools) for your All-In-One PC.
Note
You will also find in two otherwise non-overwriteable partitions the system
restoration start files ( p. 75), as well as installation files for Windows® 7.
These partitions are not visible and should not be erased.

start Windows®. In the factory setting these files are hidden for safety
reasons.
C:\ProgramsAs the name suggests, in this directory programs install the files be-
longing to the application.
C:\Windows The main directory of Windows®. This is where the files of the operat-
ing system are saved.
D:\DriverThis folder includes the drivers required by your computer (pre-
installed).

Playing Back and Retrieving Data from Discs
Note
Some disks start automatically upon insertion. This depends on the operating system and the related settings.
Your PC is able to playback and to retrieve Audio CDs, DVD Movies and Data discs.
After loading the disc your operating system will open a selection window with different
options for playback.
If your operating system doesn’t open the selection window you still have the possibility of
access to the optical drive via the WindowsExplorer or the Computer
.
Regional Playback Information for DVD
The playback of DVD movies includes the decoding of MPEG2 videos, digital AC3 audio
data and the deciphering of CSS protected contents.
CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name of a data protection program incorporated
by the movie industry as an action against illegal copies.
Among the numerous regulations for CSS licensees the most important ones are the country specific playback restrictions.
In order to facilitate the geographically restricted release of movies, DVD titles are released
for certain regions.
Copyright laws require the restriction of each DVD movie to a certain region (usually the
region, in which it is sold).
DVD movie versions can be published in several regions but the CSS regulations require
that each CSS decipherable system may only be used in one region.
Attention!
The decoding software included with your PC may be changed for regional
DVD decoding up to five times, after which the drive will only play DVD
movies for the region setting last entered. Changing the region code after
that will require factory resetting which is not covered by warranty. If resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be billed to the user.

Access authorizations are normally needed. A fee may be required to use a public access
point. To set up a wireless network to share Internet access, files, and printers at home,
you will need an access point, a router, and a broadband (DSL or cable) modem. Some
access points can also serve as a router and/or a broadband modem. Check with your
retailer to find the best solution for your needs.
A link to another computer with wireless LAN functionality can also be created without an access point. This will allow you to share files, but you will need an access point and a
router to share an Internet connection. The wireless network link works according to standard IEEE 802.11n and is compatible to standard IEEE 802.11 b/g. Other standards
(802.11a etc.) are not supported.
The transmission speed (max. 300 Mbp/s
tors. If for example the other devices support the 802.11b standard the transmission speed
can be max. 11 Mbp/s.

300 Mbit/s is a grossvalue. A maximum of 75 Mbit/s is available at application level. In
order to use its full capacity, a WLAN router following the 802.1 1n standard is required.

Troubleshooting within the Network
Why does the network environment not show the releases?
The network environment is delayed in time. Check the release by
searching for the respective computer name.
Why does an error message appear when I click on the network environment?
The computer name must be unique on the network and may
not be the same as the task group.
It appears that the network boards are unable to communicate. What
might be the problem?
Maybe one of the used network boards works with a different speed (e. g. 10 instead 100 Mbit) and your network computer is
unable to recognize this. If necessary, set the network driver to
the compatible speed.
If two PCs should be linked you require a cross-link cable, otherwise use a patch cable.
In addition, check the protocols and the configuration.
The data transmission is incorrect or very slow. What might be the
problem?
Maybe you have the wrong cable (UTP / CAT3 or lower) or the
problem is the proximity of a power cord or another source of
interference.
For further hints on troubleshooting refer to the Windows help under “Network errors”.

Software
This section concerns itself with software. We make a distinction between the operating
system, the software (application program), Windows activation, BIOS and the security package BullGuard, which is delivered with the device.
Getting to Know Windows® 7
With Windows® 7, Microsoft is launching the new operating system and successor to
Vista®.
Windows® 7 contains a number of innovative functions and technologies, enabling your
All-In-One PC to work quickly and reliably, while being easy to use.
Windows® 7 - News
Improved Taskbar
The Taskbar at the bottom of the screen enables you to start programs and change between programs which are already running. Using Windows® 7, you can place any program in the Taskbar, so that it will always open with one single click. You can also arrange
the symbols on the Taskbar simply by clicking on them and dragging them to the desired
position. The symbols are also considerably bigger, so that they are easier to use. Moving
the cursor over the symbols will display miniatures of each file or each window open in the
program. Moving the cursor over the miniature displays a full-screen preview of the particular window. Moving the cursor away from the miniature closes the full-screen preview.
Jump lists
Jump lists offer a practical possibility when opening files which you have recently worked
on. To display recently used files, just right-click the application symbol on the Taskbar.
Right-clicking on the Word symbol will display recently used Word documents. You can
also easily place other files in the jump list if you would like to have them readily at hand,
in which case they will always be displayed. This allows you to access documents which
you use more frequently, with just a few mouse clicks.
The jump lists from a few programs, such as Windows® Media Player, can be filled in advance with frequently used commands. Thus, for example, the Windows® Media Player
jump list might contain options to play all music or to re-open the latest play list.
The Internet Explorer jump list displays frequently and most recently visited websites. For
certain programs, this enables rapid access commands which, in the past, could only be
retrieved from the program itself, such as the command to create a new e-mail message.

Improved Desktop
Windows® 7 simplifies working with the windows on the Desktop. This provides you with
more intuitive possibilities for opening and closing, as well as for changing the size and for
rearranging.
Windows® 7 makes the performance of everyday tasks even simpler. For example, the
Snaps function makes it easier than ever to compare two open windows. You do not need
to adjust the size of the open window for comparison. Simply pull the window, using the
mouse, to one of the edges at the side of the screen, and it will fill half the screen. Snap the
window on both sides, and it is already easier than ever to compare two windows.
If you would like to display all Desktop mini-applications, simply move the mouse into the
lower right hand corner of the Desktop. This makes all open windows transparent, so that
the Desktop and all the mini-applications located on it will be instantly visible.
Click on the Titlebar of the window, "shake" it, and all open windows will be displayed as
symbols on the Taskbar. "Shake" the window again, and the other windows will be displayed again.
Better device management
Windows® 7 enables you to close, manage and use all devices through the "Devices and
Printers" central function.
All devices are displayed in a central position.
With the new Device Stage Technology, Windows® 7 even goes one step further in device
management. Device Stage helps you use all compatible devices connected to your computer. Thanks to Device Stage, now you display the device status in one single window
and carry out often-used commands. You will even find pictures of the devices here, easily
enabling you to see which devices are connected. The manufacturer of the devices can
even adapt Device Stage. If the manufacturer of your camera, for example, prepares an
adapted version of Device Stage, you can see the number of photos on the camera and
receive links to useful information when you link the camera to the PC.

Homegroup
With homegroups, a new function of Windows® 7, the linking of home computers is really
simple. A home network group is created automatically, for example, when you link the
first PC under Windows® 7 with the home network. The addition of additional PCs with
Windows® 7 to the home network group is quickly accomplished. You can indicate exactly
what should be released on each PC for all other PCs in the home network group. Finally,
the shared use of files on the various home PCs, and on many other devices, is so simple
that it is as if all files were located on one single hard drive. This allows you to store digital
photos on the computer in your home office and then enjoy easy access to them from a
laptop in any other room in the house. Similarly, the printer in home office is automatically
released for all PCs in the house, as long as they are all in the home network group.
Beginners and persons changing from other Windows versions systems are advised to read
this material carefully.

Windows Activation
Microsoft is committed to the protection of intellectual property rights and the reduction
of software piracy. Therefore Windows® 7 contains software-based product activation
technology. Your copy of Windows® 7 has already been activated for your PC.
Product activation is needed if some components of your PC have been replaced or you
use a non-authorized BIOS. If necessary you can activate Windows® 7 as often as requested.
You will probably need to activate Windows® 7 by telephone even if Internet Activation is
available. This is due to the pre-activated SLP version which runs with a special Product-ID.
However, activation needs your unique Product ID which can be found on the Certificate of Authenticity sticker on your PC housing. When you call, please inform your agent that
you are running an OEM-(SLP) version of the software.
Product Activation on your PC
In few cases it may still be required to activate Windows® 7. If an activation via the internet
is acknowledged with an error message you should perform the following steps.
1. Please select the telephone activation and click until the related screen appears.
2. Now click on change product key. A new window appears. Enter the product key.
This is located on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA), on the computer’s casing.

System Restore
Windows® 7 provides a useful function (System Restore) enabling the storage of the socalled Recovery points.
The system remembers the current configuration as a snapshot and returns to this, if necessary. The advantage is that an unsuccessful installation can be cancelled.
Recovery points are created automatically by the system, but they can also be set manually.
You can determine and configure yourself the maximum memory taken up by this. You
find this program in the program file under Accessories System Tools.
We recommend setting a recovery point before installing new software or drivers. At this
point if the system does not run properly this recovery point should enable you to return
to a workable configuration without deleting newly created documents. In the next paragraph you will find your options for the repair of an incorrect installation.
Correction
Windows® 7 includes various functions ensuring that the PC as well as the installed applications and devices work correctly.
These functions assist you in solving the problems which might occur by adding, deleting
or replacing files required for the functionality of the operating system, the applications
and devices. The recovery function or functions you use depend on the type of occurring
problem or error. For detailed information refer to the Windows help.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
When do I have to activate Windows?
Your software has been preactivated in the factory. An activation
will only be required, if ...
... several components are replaced by others.
... you install a new motherboard.
... a different BIOS version has been installed.
... you install the software to another computer.
What is the Windows activation?
Your operating instructions include a chapter about this subject.
How do I perform a data backup?
Make a backup and another backup of selected data to an external
medium (CD-R), to familiarise yourself with the technique.
A backup is unsuitable if you are not able to recover the data, the
medium (CD-R, CD-RW) is defective or no longer available.
Do I still have to install the enclosed CDs/DVDs?
No. Basically all programs are already preinstalled. The disks are
only intended as backup copies.
When is the recovery of the factory setting recommended?
This method should be chosen as the last resort. Read chapter
“System Restore” on page 72 concerning the alternatives possible.

ISO 13406-2 Class II
Active matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels which are in turn composed of three sub-pixels each (red, green, blue), contain about
6.2 million addressable transistors. Because of this very high number of transistors and
their extremely complex production process occasionally defective or incorrectly addressed pixels or sub-pixels may occur.
There have been several attempts in the past to define the acceptable number of defective
pixels. But this can be difficult and varies widely between different manufacturers.
We, therefore, adhere to the clear and strict requirements of ISO 13406-2, class II, for the warranty handling of all TFT display products. These requirements are
summarized below.
Within ISO-standard 13406-2 the general requirements regarding pixel defects are defined.
Pixel defects are classified into three failure types and four failure classes. Each individual
pixel is made up of three sub-pixels in the primary colours (red, green, blue).

Pixel structure
Rows
Blue
Green
Red
Types of Pixel Failures:
Type 1:
A constantly lit pixel (a bright, white spot), even though it is not addressed. A white
pixel is caused when all three sub-pixel are lit.
Type 2:
A pixel that does not light up (dark, black spot), although it is addressed
Type 3:
Abnormal or defective red, green or blue sub-pixels.
(E.g. constantly lit with half the brightness, one colour is not shining, blinking or
flickering, but not belonging to Type 1 or 2 Pixel Failures)
In addition: A cluster of type 3 (= 2 or more defective sub-pixels in an array of 5 x 5 pixel).
A cluster is an array of 5 x 5 pixel (15 x 5 sub-pixel).

Example:
A 17” - SXGA-display consists of 1280 horizontal and 1024 vertical picture dots (pixel),
which amounts to a total of 1,31 million pixels. Based on one million pixels this translates
into a factor of about 1.31.
Class II type failure consequently allows for three defects each of type 1 and type 2 and 7
defects of type 3 and 3 cluster of type 3.
These cases are normally not covered by warranty.
If the number of failures exceeds the figures of any category mentioned above then this
may be covered by the warranty.
