Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.
1. The GOT815-834 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 GOT815-834 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 GOT815-834 must be properly
grounded.
4. 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.
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. The GOT815-834
may come with or w/o a touchscreen. Although the touchscreen 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 touchscreen,
you must follow the same procedure and not spray any cleaner on the flat panel
directly.
6. Avoid using sharp objects to operate the touchscreen. Scratches on the
touchscreen may cause malfunction or internal failure to the touchscreen.
7. The flat panel display is not susceptible to s hock or vibration. W hen assembling
the GOT815-834, make sure it is securely installed.
8. 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 wil l 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.
