General Product Safety

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Do not place the product against a wall or in an enclosed space as doing so might impede the flow of cooling air
• Do not place the product near any heat sources such as radiators, warm air intakes, stoves or other heat-generating devices (including amplifiers or other heat producing equipment)
• Protect the power cord from being crushed or pinched, particularly in the area of the plugs, any receptacles used, and the point of exit from the apparatus. Do not break off the ground pin of the power cord.
• Do not disregard the safety that a polarized or grounded connection can provide. A polarized connection consists of two plugs, one of which is larger than the other. A grounded connection has two blades and a third one that is grounded. If the main plug provided cannot be inserted into your outlet, consult an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet
• Use only accessories specified by the manufacturer
• This product should not be used near water such as bathtubs, sinks, swimming pools, wet basement, etc.
• Use only with its transport carriage, stand, tripod, console or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When using a carriage, move the carriage assembly with the product carefully to avoid damage from falling over.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. A technical intervention is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, for example if the power cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen inside the unit, if the product has been exposed to rain or moisture, if it does not operate normally or if it has been dropped

General Guideline

It is recommended to reboot the device when some functions are defect or inactive. If it still can’t solve the problems, please contact your dealer or agent

Handling and Maintenance

General Guideline

Keep the product at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as TV, refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker
Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer as this may damage the display
The screen surface can be easily scratched. Use with care. Do not use paper towels to clean the display but use the included cleaning cloth. Avoid touching it with a pen or pencil
To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management. Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the power management from working

**** Cleaning Guideline

Use a soft cloth moistened with water or a nonalkaline detergent to wipe the exterior of the product

Gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or detergent on the product.

**** Touchscreen Guideline

Use your finger or the stylus on the display. Using sharp or metallic object may cause scratches and damage the display, thereby causing errors

Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the display. The touchscreen surface has a special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not using a soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the touchscreen surface. To clean off hard to remove dirt, blow some steam on the particular area and gently wipe away using a soft cloth.
Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the display as this may cause the glass to break.
When there is a noticeable discrepancy in the operation of the touchscreen function (your touch does not correlate to the proper location on the screen), recalibrate the touchscreen display
