Safety Precautions
Before
getting
started,
please
read
the
following
important
safety
precautions.
1.
The
PC 8153
Series
does
not
come
equipped
with an
operating
system.
An
operating
system
must
be
loaded first
before
installing
any
software
into
the
computer.
2.
Be
sure
to
ground
yourself
to
prevent
static
charge
when
installing
the
internal
components.
Use
a
grounding
wrist
strap
and
place
all
electronic
components
in
any
static-
shielded
devices.
Most
electronic
components
are
sensitive
to
static
electrical
charge.
3.
Disconnect
the
power
cord
from
the
PC 8153
Series
before
any
installation.
Be
sure
both
the
system
and
external
devices
are
turned
OFF.
A
sudden
surge
of
power
could
ruin
sensitive
components
that
the
PC 8153
Series
must be
properly
grounded.
4.
The
brightness
of
the
flat
panel
display
will
be
getting
weaker
as
a
result
of
frequent
usage.
However,
the
operating
period
varies
depending
on
the
application
environment.
5.
Turn
OFF
the
system
power
before
cleaning.
Clean
the
system
using
a
cloth
only.
Do
not
spray
any
liquid
cleaner
directly
onto
the
screen.
The
PC 8153
Series
may
come
with
or
w/o
a
touch screen.
Although
the
touch screen
is
chemical
resistant,
it
is
recommended
that
you
spray
the
liquid
cleaner
on
a
cloth
first
before
wiping
the
screen.
In
case
your
system
comes
without
the
touch screen,
you
must
follow
the
same
procedure
and
not
spray
any
cleaner
on
the
flat
panel
directly.
6.
Avoid
using
sharp
objects
to
operate
the
touch screen.
Scratches
on
the
touch screen
may
cause
malfunction
or
internal
failure
to
the
touch screen.
7.
The
flat
panel
display
is
not
susceptible
to
shock
or
vibration.
When
assembling
the
PC 8153
Series
,
make
sure
it is
securely
installed.
8.
Do
not
open
the
system’s
back
cover.
If
opening
the
cover
for
maintenance
is
a
must,
only
a
trained
technician
is
allowed
to
do
so.
Integrated
circuits
on
computer
boards
are
sensitive
to
static
electricity.
To
avoid
damaging
chips
from
electrostatic
discharge,
observe
the
following
precautions:
