Safety Precautions

Read and follow the content of the Safety Precautions carefully so that you will not cause

damages to yourself or the system.

1. Pay attention to the warnings and notes in this manual to avoid causing unexpected

damages.

2. If you want to wipe the system with a wet cloth, make sure the power cord is

disconnected. We strongly suggest not to wipe the system with chemical detergent or

sprayed detergent.

3. When moving the system, do not put the system on uneven, unsteady or slanting

surfaces.

4. Do not put water cups or beverages near the PC system to protect the system from

being damaged by liquids.

5. There are ventilating holes on the backboard of the computer case to dissipate heat

from the machine. You should pay attention to the position of the PC so that the

ventilating holes will not be blocked. Meanwhile, do not put your PC on something

not sturdy enough – like rug or bed mattress – to ensure smooth air flow for heat

dissipation.

6. Before plugging on power, make certain the electric voltage in your area complies

with that of the PC. If you are uncertain, consult your PC dealer or power company

first.

7. Do not place your PC on power cords. Do not leave the power lines in tangles which

may cause people to stumble.

8. It normally takes several power sockets to meet the need of a PC system. Make sure

the extension power line is capable of handling the total power load for all equipment.

In other words, the combined amperage of all electrical appliances on the same

extension line must not exceed the strength of electric currents or the fuse of the

extension line.

9. When your PC system runs into problems, do not try to fix it unless you possess

adequate technical know-how concerning hardware installation and system

maintenance. It would advisable to seek assistance from qualified maintenance

personnel so as to avoid improper disassembling.

10. When encountering the following more dangerous situations, unplug the power to

shut down the system and then seek help from professional technicians to fix the

problems:

* When liquids find their way into the equipment.

* When the PC is soaked by rain.

* When power cords or power sockets are damaged.

* When the PC system falls to the ground and is damaged.

* When some problems cannot be solved even after you installed the system according to

the manual or the troubleshooting procedures.
