CE Marking  
FCC Class A  
FCC Compliance  
This equipment has been tested in compliance with the limits for a  
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These  
limits are meant to provide reasonable protection against harmful  
interference in a residential installation. If not installed and used in  
accordance with proper instructions, this equipment might generate or  
radiate radio frequency energy and cause harmful interference to  
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that  
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment  
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which  
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is  
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the  
following methods:  
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
3. Connect the equipment to another outlet of a circuit that  
doesn’t connect with the receiver.  
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for  
help.  
Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with the  
emission limits.  
Safety Precautions  
Before getting started, please read the following important safety  
precautions.  
1.  
2.  
The PC 8172 Series does not come equipped with an  
operating system. An operating system must be loaded first  
before installing any software into the computer.  
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 8172 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 8172 Series must be  
properly grounded.  
4.  
5.  
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.  
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 8172 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.  
7.  
8.  
Avoid using sharp objects to operate the touch screen.  
Scratches on the touch screen may cause malfunction or  
internal failure to the touch screen.  
The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or vibration.  
When assembling the PC 8172 Series, make sure it is  
securely installed.  
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:  
3
a
a
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an  
unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few  
seconds. This will help to discharge any static  
electricity on your body.  
When handling boards and components, wear a wrist-  
grounding strap, available from most electronic  
component stores.
