Safety Precautions

Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.
1. The ICO120-E3350-A/B/C 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 ICO120-E3350-A/B/C before making any
installation. Be sure both the system and the external devices are turned off. Sudden
surge of power could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the ICO120-E3350-
A/B/C is properly grounded.
4. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the
equipment to the power outlet.
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.
6. Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage
temperature is below -40℃ or above 85℃. It may damage the equipment.
7. 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:
▪ 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.
8. Caution
There is risk of explosion if incorrect type battery is installed; p l e a s e disposeof
the used batteries according to the instructions.
9. Warning
Hot Surface Do Not Touch.
Restricted access area: The equipment should only be installed in a Restricted Access
Area.
10. This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Adapter or DC power
source, output meets SELV, rated 12-24Vdc, minimum 1.30-0.74A, Tma = 60
degrees C, and the altitude of operation = 2000m.
If need further assistance with purchasing the power source, please contact the
manufacturer for further information.
11. This product is intended to be supplied by DC power source, output meets SELV,
rated 12-24Vdc, minimum 1.30-0.74A, Tma = 70 degrees C, and the altitude of

General Cleaning Tips

You may need to read the following precautions carefully before you begin to clean the
computer. When you clean any single part or component for the computer, please read
and understand the details below fully.

When you need to clean the device, please rub it with a piece of dry cloth.
1. Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you use a vacuum cleaner
to absorb the dirt on the floor.
2. Turn the system off before you start to clean up the component or computer.
3. Never drop the components inside the computer or get t h e circuit board damp or wet.
4. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when you use it for the
sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.
5. Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the computer.

v
Cleaning Tools

Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of
cleaning your computer and peripherals users can also use household items to clean
their computers and peripherals. Below is a listing of items you may need or want to use
while cleaning your computer or computer peripherals.
Keep in mind that some components in your computer may only be able to be cleaned
using a product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be
mentioned in the cleaning.
Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component. Although
paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, we still recommend you
rub it with a piece of cloth.
Water or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some water
or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the computer. Unknown solvents may be harmful
to the plastic parts.
Vacuum cleaner: Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other particles
out of a computer can be one of the best methods of cleaning a computer. Over
time these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and cause circuitry to
corrode.
Cotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are excellent
tools for wiping hard- to - reach areas in your keyboard, mouse, and other locations.
Foam swabs: Whenever possible it is better to use lint- free swabs such as foam
swabs.

Note: We strongly recommended that you should shut down the system before you start
to clean any single component.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Close all application programs
2. Close operating software
3. Turn off t h e power
4. Remove all device
5. Pull out th e power cable

vi
Scrap Computer Recycling

If the computer equipment needs the maintenance or are beyond repair, we strongly
recommended that you should inform your Axiomtek distributor as soon as possible for
the suitable solution. For the computers that are no longer useful or no longer working
well, please contact your Axiomtek distributor for recycling and we will make the proper
arrangement.
