Product Installation/Usage Precautions

Caution:

	Place the product on a stable place so that it does not fall. If the product is dropped, it may cause product damage or bodily injury.
	Use the product in a clean, dust-free environment. Otherwise, the system may not function properly.
	Do not place any objects within 15 cm of the PC. Lack of ventilation may overheat the PC from inside and put users at risk of burn injuries.
	Do not store or use the PC near a magnetic object (i.e. a bag with a magnetic object, a diary, a wallet, a memo board, high-powered speakers, a bracelet, or etc.). Otherwise, the storage device (HDD, SSD, eMMC) and the system may be damaged, and the system may fail to operate properly.
	Operate the product where there is no electromagnetic interference. Keep a proper distance between the PC and electronic appliances such as radios or speakers that generate strong magnetic fields. Otherwise, data may be lost from the storage device (HDD, SSD, eMMC) or the screen color may be damaged.
	Do not connect a key-phone line to a wired LAN port. A fire may occur or the product may get damaged.
	Remove the plastic packaging before starting installation. Otherwise, the internal temperature of the PC could rise and cause a burn.
	Before turning on the system, switch on peripheral devices. Otherwise, the product may get damaged.
	Before turning off the system, switch off peripheral devices. Otherwise, the product may get damaged.
	Insert a memory card in the correct direction. Forcefully inserting a memory card may damage the product and the memory.

	If you smell a smoky or burning odor, stop using the computer and disconnect the power cord before contacting the service center. A fire may occur.
	Do not play the PC games excessively. Playing a PC game for an extended period of time may cause a mental disorder. It may also inflict physical impairments on the elderly and children.
	Do not put your finger or an object into PC ports. An injury or electric shock may occur.
	Ask one of our engineers to run a safety check after your computer has been repaired. Otherwise, an electric shock or fire may occur.
	For minors, we recommend a program that blocks access to illegal or pornographic web sites. Minors' exposure to adult-only contents may inflict psychological instability or even trauma on them. Take an extra precaution for your children if the whole family is using this machine.
	Keep the machine away from heat-emitting devices such as a heater. The product may get deformed or catch on fire.
	Prevent children from thrusting their finger into the optical disk drive (CD/DVD/Blu-ray) tray. The finger may be stuck in the tray and injured.
	Do not place foreign objects in the ventilation hole of the power supply unit on the rear side of the computer. Otherwise, an electric shock may occur.
	Before upgrading your PC, turn off the power and disconnect the power cable and LAN. There is a risk of electric shock or fire and the product may be damaged.
	When you upgrade the PC, ensure that children will not swallow any parts including bolts. If a child swallowed a nut, he or she may get suffocated. In that case, see the doctor immediately.
	Do not disassemble or modify the machine arbitrarily. There is a risk of electric shock and the product may be no longer covered by the warranty.
	If you dissemble the PC, connect the power after reassembly is done. There is a risk of electric shock or product damage, if you touch the disassembled PC.
	Do not insert metal items such as coins, hairpins, or ironware or flammables such as paper or matches. Especially, make sure that children will not do so. There is a risk of product damage, fire, or electric shock. If any foreign substance gets in the product, unplug the product and contact the local service center.

Product Upgrade/Transportation Precautions

Caution:

	Before carrying the machine, turn off the power and disconnect all the cables. Otherwise, you may trip over the wire, damaging the PC and sustaining an injury.
	Protect the machine from any shock while carrying it. System damage or an injury may result.
	Do not put any heavy object on the PC. There is the risk of malfunction. If the object were to fall, it may cause an injury or damage the machine.

A malfunction or fire may occur.

Power Connection Precautions

Warning:

	Do not bend the power cable too much or allow it to be stabbed by a sharp object. The wires inside the cable may break and cause electric shock or fire.
	Do not use loose plugs or damaged power cords. An electric shock or fire may occur.
	Do not touch the power cord with your hands wet. Otherwise, an electric shock may occur.
	Pull the plug, not the cord, to disconnect the power cord. Otherwise, a fire or product damage may occur.
	Operate the product at the proper voltage. Excessive voltage may result in damage on the product, electric shock or fire.
	Use power outlets with an earth pin installed and proper supply of rated electricity. An electric leakage may cause an electric shock or fire. The shape of the power cord and outlet may differ by country and region.
	Connect the power plug properly by pushing it to the end. If a contact failure occurs, it may cause product damage or fire.
	In the case of strange noise from the cord or plug, disconnect the power cord from the outlet immediately and contact the service center. A fire or electric shock may occur.
	Do not disassemble the power supply unit. An electric shock or fire may occur.
	Ensure that the power outlet is earthed before plugging in. Otherwise, an electric shock from power leakage may occur.
	Always keep the power cord and power outlet clean and free of dust. A fire may occur.
	Keep children and pets from damaging the power cord. It may cause a fire or an electric shock.
	Disconnect the power cord and all peripheral cables before cleaning the PC. Otherwise, an electric shock or impairment may occur.
	If water or other foreign objects enter the PC, disconnect the power cord and all peripheral cables before contacting the service center. An electric shock or fire may occur.

Other Safety Precautions

Caution:

	Handle the machine with care to prevent loss of data from the storage device (HDD, SSD, eMMC). Since the storage device is fragile, you need to back up your important data frequently. The manufacturer is not responsible for any storage device data loss caused by a user's mistake.
	Damage to the storage device (HDD, SSD, eMMC) and data loss may occur when: External shocks are inflicted on the machine while disassembling or installing it. The machine is reset (i.e. restarted) or turned on again after a power outage while the storage device is operating. The PC is infected with a virus, tainting the data irrecoverably. Turning off the PC abruptly can damage the PC. If the product is moved, shaken or exposed to external shock while the storage device is running, file damage or bad sectors may occur.
	To minimize data loss resulting from storage device damage (HDD, SSD, eMMC), frequently back up important data. The manufacturer is not responsible for any data loss.
	Exchange / Refund of the product is not possible for the problem caused by installing and using an operating system other than the operating system that is provided installed in the product. Some software applications may not work properly in other operating systems. Such malfunctions are not covered by the warranty.
