Operational Safety

Please read this chapter carefully and observe all listed notes. This ensures a reliable operation and long life expectancy of your All-In-One 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.

 Do not subject the device to drops of water or spray or put any containers filled

with liquid, such as vases, on the device. Liquid seeping into the device can impair electrical safety.

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

Attention!

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.

Connecting

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 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.

Cabling

Please follow the instructions below in order to correctly connect your PC:

 Arrange cables in such a way that no one can tread on or trip over them.

 Do not place objects on the cables.

- 4 -

Operational Safety

 Do not allow any large forces to be exerted on the plug-in connections, from the

side, for example. This will otherwise lead to damage to and in your device.

 Do not exert any force when connecting cables and plugs and pay attention to the

correct orientation of each plug.

 Pull the connection at the plug, not at the cable, of you are detaching a connection

cable from your device.

 Avoid short circuits and cable breaks by not squeezing the cable or bending it

sharply.

 To avoid damage to your PC, connect your peripherals (e.g., keyboard, mouse and

monitor) whilst your PC is powered off. Some devices can be connected whilst your PC is in use. These devices usually have a USB connector. Please follow the appropriate instructions for each device.

 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”.

 In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but

completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time. We recommend that you ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract the formation of the smell. During the development of this product, we have made sure that the applicable limits are clearly decreased.

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!

- 10 -

Setting Up of the All-In-One PC

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.

 Work in Comfort

Safety Connecting Operation Help Appendix

Note

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: Inserting batteries in keyboard

The keyboard requires two alkaline batteries (LR6/AA, 1,5V).

1. Turn the keyboard over and open the battery compartment.

2. Insert two batteries (LR6/AA, 1,5V). Ensure that the polarity corresponds to the illustration (+ must correspond with + and – with –).

3. Shut the battery compartment.

Note

The operation of the keyboard is described on page 31.

Step 2: Connecting the keyboard and power on

1. Connect the USB receiver to a USB connection of your All-In-One PC.

2. Set the switch under the keyboard to ON.

Important!

Switch the keyboard off by means of the on/off switch, if you will not be using it for a longer period, to avoid the unnecessary consumption of the batteries.

Step 3: Power on

1. Connect the mains adapter supplied to the All-In-One PC. Then, connect the mains cable to the adapter and connect it subsequently to a socket.

2. Press the on/off switch on the front once, to switch on your All-In-One PC.

- 18 -

Getting Started

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.

Warning!

If the operating system is not shut down properly (through 

), then there is a risk of data loss.

Step 4: 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.

The Multi Touch Display

Your All-In-One PC is delivered with a touch-sensitive screen. To ensure optimal use, you should pay careful attention to the following notes:

Operation

 To avoid damage, do not touch the display with sharp or sharp-edged objects.

 Use a blunt stylus or your finger.

Cleaning

 Take care to avoid water drops remaining on the display. Water can cause durable

discoloration.

 Clean the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth.

 Do not expose the screen to bright sunlight or ultraviolet rays.

 Never use solvents, or caustic or volatile cleansers.

 To clean the display, use only suitable cleansers such as glass cleansers or monitor

cleansers (available in the retail trade).

Screen Resolution

The screen has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. If you change to a presentation with different characteristics in the Windows “Control Panel  Appearance and

Personalization  Display Settings Adjust screen resolution“ Help Program, the dis-

play will not appear on the whole area of the screen, among other effects. Using a higher resolution can lead to distortion of the display, especially with text. Using a lower resolution may cause the display to use only a portion of the screen area.

The Hard Drives

The hard drives are the main storage medium combining large storage capacity and rapid data access.

The hard drives contain 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, D and E.

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 drives.

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 (E:\) serves for data security and contains additional drivers (E:\Driver) and tools (E:\Tools) for your All-In-One PC.

The second hard drive (D:\) serves as an additional memory for data storage.

Note

You will also find in two otherwise non-overwriteable partitions the system restoration start files ( p. 79), as well as installation files for Windows® 7. These partitions are not visible and should not be erased.

Important Directories

In the following we have listed the most important directories and described their content.

Attention!

Do not delete or modify these directories or their contents since data could be lost or the functionality of the system could be at risk.

C:\ The master directory of drive C: includes important files required to

start Windows®. In the factory setting these files are hidden for safety reasons.

C:\Programs As 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:\ Additional memory for data storage. E:\Driver This folder includes the drivers required by your computer (pre-

installed).

E:\Tools Here you find additional programs and other documentation for your

All-In-One PC.

The Optical Drive

Loading and Removing a Disc

In contrast to optical drives in a desktop PC, your All-In-One PC uses a holder to lock the disk.

Attention!

Do not place protective foils or other stickers on your CD’s. To avoid damage to your drive, do not use deformed or damaged CD’s. Attention: Do not use scratched or dirty discs, discs with pieces broken off or discs of poor quality. Because of the high speeds in the drive the discs might break and damage your data as well as your drive. Examine the discs before you enter them. If damage or dirt is visible, you should not use them. Damage caused by faulty media is excluded from warranty and any repair will be charged.

Loading a Disc

1. Push a disk slightly into the optical drive, with the lettered side facing, until the disk is pulled in.

2. The ‘E’ drive letter will have been allocated to your optical drive in the delivery status. You will have easy access to your files on your disks with Windows Explorer

(Computer). Start the Computer Help Program by means of the Desktop link or by pressing the Windows key and the ‘E’ key at the same time. Open Windows Explorer by means of Start  All Programs  Accessories. The pre-installed media reproduction will be used automatically during access to DVD videos (or audio and video files on normal data CDs).

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 Windows Explorer 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.

Safety Connecting Operation Help Appendix

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.

Subjects Concerning the CD/DVD-Rewriter

Normal Discs are pressed from a digital, glass master and then sealed. In the case of blank disc, the information is burnt onto the disc with the laser of the Rewriter. Therefore these discs are more sensitive than normal CDs.

Please avoid the following when using recordable/rewriteable discs - especially blanks that have never before been used:

 radiation by direct sunlight (UVA/UVB)

 scratches and damage to the disk surface

 extreme temperatures

The Network

Your PC is provided with a Fast Ethernet-Network connector You will find further information about networking in the Help section within the Start

menu.

What is a Network?

A network means connecting your PC to another or several other PCs. Users can transfer information and data between computers and share resources such as printers, modems and hard disk drives.

Here are some practical examples:

 You can exchange Email and manage appointments in an

office.

 Users share a printer in a network and save their data on a central server.

 Two or more PCs can be connected to play network games or share data.

Wireless LAN

Your All-In-One PC is equipped with WLAN. The components (Module, antenna) are already integrated and activated in your computer. You can turn off the wireless LAN function with the help of the Windows

This function allows you to create a wireless network link with a partner.

Safety Note

Attention!

Don’t use this feature in environments where highly sensitive devices are placed such as in hospitals etc. To avoid any interference disable this option in your device manager.

Conditions

The partner used can be a wireless access point. An access point is a wireless transmitter that communicates with your All-In-One PC and controls access to the network connection (e.g., a home network or a broadband connection such as DSL).

Wireless access points are often found in offices, airports, universities or Internet cafés. They offer access to enterprise services and networks or to the Internet. 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.

Search for “wireless networking” in Windows Help and Support for more information.

Device Manager.

) can vary according to distance and other fac-

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.

The Network

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”.

Fingerprint Sensor

Your new All-In-One PC is equipped with a fingerprint sensor.

Benefits of this technology

First of all, it provides extra comfort. You will not have to memorize passwords, because the software manages those for you. The program remembers and saves all input that is necessary for authentication purposes. By your fingerprint the program recognizes that you are authorized to retrieve and transmit the login data.

Attention!

Store your passwords and access data in a safe place. If you cannot identify yourself by your fingerprint (e.g., when working on someone else's computer), you can log in with your access data in the usual way.

Registering fingerprints

Your fingerprint sensor will have been pre-installed as far as possible. The adjustment to the user is still missing. The registration of your fingerprints is necessary for this.

Important!

The entry of the Windows password is necessary to register your fingerprints. If you have not stored a password during the first bringing of the AllIn-One PC into operation, do it now.

1. Start the software by clicking on Start  All Programs  TrueSuite  TrueSuite. The welcome screen appears.

2. Click on Getting Started and follow the instructions on the screen.

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.

Safety Connecting Operation Help Appendix

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.

Software

- 57 -

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.

- 58 -

Software

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.

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).

Standards

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.
