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.

Battery Treatment
Batteries may contain combustible materials. By misuse, this may cause battery leakage,
heat, explosion or ignition, bringing about injury or damage to the device.
Please observe strictly the following matters:
Keep children away from batteries.
If by any chance, the batteries are swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Do not charge batteries (except rechargeable batteries).
Do not forcibly discharge batteries.
Do not short-circuit batteries.
Do not heat or dispose of in fire.
Do not disassemble or deform batteries.
Your hands and fingers may be injured, or the liquid of the battery may get into
your eyes or adhere to your skin. If this happens, rinse with a large quantity of water immediately and consult a doctor.
Do not expose batteries to strong impact by dropping or throwing the batteries.
Do not reverse the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals to avoid short-circuit.
Do not mix used and new or different types of batteries together.
Your equipment may not operate properly. In addition, the battery exhausted first
may be excessively drained (over-discharged).
Remove promptly the used batteries from the device.
Replace all batteries with new batteries of the same type at the same time.
Insulate the terminal parts with tape or the like when storing or disposing of batter-
ies.
Check that the contacts in the device and on the batteries are clean and clean them
if necessary, before inserting the batteries.
Do not throw rundown batteries in the domestic refuse! Respect the environment
and throw them in the specific containers for separate collection. If necessary, turn
to your retailer or to our service assistance. Thank you!

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.

Keep the PC at least one meter (approximately three feet) away from high fre-
quency and magnetic interference sources (e.g., televisions, loudspeaker cabinets,
mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions and/or loss of data.
Please note that only shielded cables shorter than 3 meters (9.84 ft) should be used
for the external interfaces. Please only use double screened cables for printer cables.
Do not replace the cables supplied with the machine by any others. Use the cables
belonging to the scope of the delivery exclusively, because they will have been
tested extensively in our laboratories.
Also only use the connection cable supplied with the devices for the connection of
your peripheral devices.
Make sure that all connection cables have been connected to the peripheral devices
associated with them, in order to avoid disruptive radiation. Remove unneeded cables.
The connection of devices is limited to equipment that complies with EN60950
“Safety of information technology equipment” or EN60065 “Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus. Safety requirements”.

Warning!
Connect your USB 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 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.
You have a choice of several connection sockets. It does not matter which you use.
Note
Safety Connecting Operation Help Appendix
Take care that the connector and the socket fit exactly to avoid damaging
the contacts. Because of its asymmetric form the plug only fits into the
socket in one position.
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.

Getting Started
The software on this PC comes fully pre-installed. You do not have to load any of the
CD's/DVD’s supplied.
With many programs (e.g., telephone-CD's or encyclopaedias), however, it is necessary to
insert the corresponding CD/DVD in order to call up the data which is stored on it. The
software will ask you to do this as necessary. Once you have made all the connections and
secured the necessary connectors you can turn on the monitor, the other peripherals and
finally the PC itself.
Step 1: Power On
Mains switch on the mains adapter
1. Provide power to your PC by pressing the switch to position [I].(You will stop the
flow of current to the PC by pressing the switch to position [0])
On/Off Switch
Diagram reference: K
1. Press the On/off at the front once to start loading the operating system.
2. Mains switch on the mains adapter.
The On-/ Off switch function can be programmed in the Windows® Control Panel, Power
Options, Hardware and Sound (please refer to on-line help). The PC will always be
switched off, if the main switch is pressed for more than 4 seconds.

Step 2: Starting Initial Setup
The PC starts and now goes through a number of phases:
Note
Ensure that there is no bootable CD (e.g. the Recovery-CD) in the CD-ROM
drive. Such disks will prevent the operating system from loading directly off
the hard drive.
The operating system is loaded from the hard disk. During the initial set-up, the loading
process takes slightly longer than normal to register the operating system and the individual components completely. Your operating system is finished loading when a welcome
screen is shown on your display.
Follow the instructions on the screen. Dialogue boxes will explain any steps that need to
be taken. The greeting procedure will guide you through the following screens and dialogues.
