System Care
The system is a durable system built for dependable use. With protective measures and proper care, you can prevent problems and promote the successful operation and long life span of the system.
Protecting Your System From Damage
There are several ways that you can protect the system from possible damage. NECC strongly recommends the following protective measures.
!Connect a surge suppressor between the system and a grounded wall outlet. A surge suppressor protects the system from sudden transient increases and decreases in electrical power.
!
!
Be sure to connect all peripherals, such as a printer, to the surge suppressor. The surge protector should be the only device that you plug into the wall outlet.
Avoid repeated
Disconnect the system from telephone and power lines when an electrical storm threatens. If you have a fax/modem, lightning can travel in on the phone line and damage both the fax/modem and the system unit. Lightning can also travel in on power lines and damage the LCD panel and system unit.
!Except for USB devices, ensure that system power is off before connecting or disconnecting a cable; otherwise damage to the system and its peripherals might occur. USB devices do not require powering down the system when connecting or disconnecting a device.
!Use your Norton virus scan protection software regularly to protect the system from viruses.
If you plan to load software programs other than the ones NECC has supplied on the PowerMate Application and Driver CD, NECC strongly recommends that you take the necessary steps, such as virus checks, to protect the system.
