• Delay operating a All-In-One PC after transport until the device has adjusted to the ambient temperature. In situations of large temperature or humidity differences condensation may build up moisture inside the All-In-One PC, which might cause an electrical short circuit.

Ergonomics

Note

Ensure that the monitor is set up in such a way that reflections, glare and light/darkness contrast are avoided.

You should not position the monitor in close proximity to a window as this is usually the brightest area of the room and may cause visual impairments during daylight hours.

Always position the monitor in a line of sight that runs parallel to the window front (see picture).

You should also apply a parallel line of sight with respect to artificial lighting. This means that in a room lit by artificial light essentially the same criteria and objectives apply. Should it not be possible to arrange the monitor as outlined above, the following measures might be helpful:

• Turn, lower or incline the monitor.
- Place horizontal or vertical shades at the windows.
- Work in Comfort

Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it's important that you maintain proper posture.

Overall:

Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid fatigue.

Back:

While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported by the chair's backrest. This should be in an erect position or angled slightly backwards.

Legs:

Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward. Your lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Your feet should rest flat on the floor. If necessary, use a footrest, but double check that you have your seat height adjusted correctly before getting a footrest.

Arms:

Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides, with forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor.

Wrists:

Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the keyboard, mouse or track-ball. They should not be bent sideways, or more than 10 degrees up or down.

Head:

Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. Avoid working with your head or neck twisted.

The Hard Drive

The hard drive is the main storage medium combining large storage capacity and rapid data access.

The hard drive contains the operating system of the computer, other application programs and backup files. These programs and files are pre-installed on your All-In-One PC, so you may note that some of the space on your hard drive is already taken.

The Windows operating system cannot use the full capacity of the hard drive, which means that there will be a difference between the capacity that the BIOS displays and what the operating system displays. The operating system of the All-In-One PC, further application programs and backup files are located on the hard drive and reduce its total capacity.

The hard drive is addressed as drive C and D.

Note

Never switch off the computer while the busy indicator is lit since this may result in loss of data. A flickering hard drive display is your indication that the All-In-One PC is accessing the hard drive.

Usually your hard disk is divided into more partitions. The configuration of your hard drive can be displayed and configured under "Disk Management". To familiarise yourself with the hard drive configuration, search Windows Help for the key word "Disk Management".

In your first partition (C:) you will find the operating system, application programs and the users' documents.

The second partition (D:) serves for data security and contains additional drivers (D:\Driver) and tools (D:\Tools) for your All-In-One PC.

Note

You will also find in two otherwise non-overwriteable partitions the system restoration start files ( p. 77), as well as installation files for Windows ^® 7. These partitions are not visible and should not be erased.

Important Directories

In the following we have listed the most important directories and described their content.

Attention!

Do not delete or modify these directories or their contents since data could be lost or the functionality of the system could be at risk.

C:\ The master directory of drive C: includes important files required to start Windows®. In the factory setting these files are hidden for safety reasons.
C:\Programs As the name suggests, in this directory programs install the files belonging to the application.
C:\Windows The main directory of Windows®. This is where the files of the operating system are saved.
D:\Driver This folder includes the drivers required by your computer (pre-installed).
D:\Tools Here you find additional programs and other documentation for your All-In-One PC.

puter

Regional Playback Information for DVD

The playback of DVD movies includes the decoding of MPEG2 videos, digital AC3 audio data and the deciphering of CSS protected contents.

CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name of a data protection program incorporated by the movie industry as an action against illegal copies.

Among the numerous regulations for CSS licensees the most important ones are the country specific playback restrictions.

In order to facilitate the geographically restricted release of movies, DVD titles are released for certain regions.

Copyright laws require the restriction of each DVD movie to a certain region (usually the region, in which it is sold).

DVD movie versions can be published in several regions but the CSS regulations require that each CSS decipherable system may only be used in one region.

Attention!

The decoding software included with your All-In-One PC may be changed for regional DVD decoding up to five times, after which the drive will only play DVD movies for the region setting last entered. Changing the region code after that will require factory resetting which is not covered by warranty. If resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be billed to the user.

Subjects Concerning the CD/DVD-Rewriter

Normal Discs are pressed from a digital, glass master and then sealed. In the case of blank disc, the information is burnt onto the disc with the laser of the Rewriter. Therefore these discs are more sensitive than normal CDs.

Please avoid the following when using recordable/rewriteable discs - especially blanks - that have never before been used:

• radiation by direct sunlight (UVA/UVB)
  • scratches and damage to the disk surface
  • extreme temperatures

The Network

Your All-In-One PC is provided with a Fast Ethernet-Network connector

You will find further information about networking in the Help section within the Start menu.

What is a Network?

A network means connecting your All-In-One PC to another or several other All-In-One PCs. Users can transfer information and data between computers and share resources such as printers, modems and hard disk drives.

Here are some practical examples:

• You can exchange Email and manage appointments in an office.
• Users share a printer in a network and save their data on a central server.
• Two or more All-In-One PCs can be connected to play network games or share data.

Wireless LAN (optional)

Your All-In-One PC is equipped with WLAN. The components (Module, antenna) are already integrated and activated in your computer. You can turn off the wireless LAN function with the help of the Windows ^® Device Manager.

This function allows you to create a wireless network link with a partner.

Safety Note

Attention!

Don't use this feature in environments where highly sensitive devices are placed such as in hospitals etc. To avoid any interference disable this option in your device manager.

Conditions

The partner used can be a wireless access point. An access point is a wireless transmitter that communicates with your notebook and controls access to the network connection (e.g., a home network or a broadband connection such as DSL).

Wireless access points are often found in offices, airports, universities or Internet cafés. They offer access to enterprise services and networks or to the Internet.

Access authorizations are normally needed. A fee may be required to use a public access point. To set up a wireless network to share Internet access, files, and printers at home, you will need an access point, a router, and a broadband (DSL or cable) modem. Some access points can also serve as a router and/or a broadband modem. Check with your retailer to find the best solution for your needs.

A link to another computer with wireless LAN functionality can also be created without an access point. This will allow you to share files, but you will need an access point and a router to share an Internet connection. The wireless network link works according to standard IEEE 802.11n and is compatible to standard IEEE 802.11 b/g. Other standards (802.11a etc.) are not supported.

The transmission speed (max. 300 Mbp/s ^* ) can vary according to distance and other factors. If for example the other devices support the 802.11b standard the transmission speed can be max. 11 Mbp/s.

Search for “wireless networking” in Windows Help and Support for more information.

Troubleshooting within the Network

Why does the network environment not show the releases?

The network environment is delayed in time. Check the release by searching for the respective computer name.

Why does an error message appear when I click on the network environment?

The computer name must be unique on the network and may not be the same as the task group.

It appears that the network boards are unable to communicate. What might be the problem?

Maybe one of the used network boards works with a different speed (e.g. 10 instead 100 Mbit) and your network computer is unable to recognize this. If necessary, set the network driver to the compatible speed.

If two All-In-One PCs should be linked you require a cross-link cable, otherwise use a patch cable.

In addition, check the protocols and the configuration.

The data transmission is incorrect or very slow. What might be the problem?

Maybe you have the wrong cable (UTP / CAT3 or lower) or the problem is the proximity of a power cord or another source of interference.

For further hints on troubleshooting refer to the Windows help under “Network errors”.

Bluetooth (optional)

Bluetooth wireless technology is designed to replace cables between devices, such as your printer, keyboard, and mouse.

Bluetooth wireless technology operates over a short distance. Bluetooth devices use radio transmission, which enables your computer, mobile phone, printer, keyboard, mouse, and other devices to communicate with each other without cables.

There are several uses for Bluetooth wireless technology, including, but not limited to:

• Creating a wireless connection to the Internet with a mobile phone.
• Transferring files between computers or between a computer and another device.
• Printing to a Bluetooth wireless printer.
• Using a Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse.
• Joining a personal area network (PAN).

- Synchronizing a personal digital assistant (PDA) to a computer or another device using Bluetooth wireless technology.

The data transfer speed for Bluetooth wireless technology can be up to 700 kilobits (Kbp/s) per second. The data transfer speed can vary depending on the device or environmental factors. A Bluetooth device can transmit through walls, pockets, and brief-cases.

Since Bluetooth is using the same frequency range as WLAN, simultaneous use might cause interference. If this should happen you can disable one service temporary.

The Bluetooth function can be activated/deactivated via the symbol ✝ in the taskbar.

Attention!

Don't use this feature in environments where highly sensitive devices are placed such as in hospitals etc. To avoid any interference disable this option in your device manager.

Securing the All-In-One PC

Unauthorized access to software and hardware solutions will be made available to you with your new All-In-One PC.

Startup Password

You can protect your All-In-One PC against unauthorized use with a switching on password. Then, an invitation to enter the password will appear on the screen when the All-In-One PC is switched on. The password will be set up in BIOS.

Warning!

Software

This section concerns itself with software. We make a distinction between the operating system, the software (application program), Windows activation, BIOS and the security package BullGuard, which is delivered with the device.

Getting to Know Windows® 7

With Windows ^® 7, is launching the new operating system and successor to Vista ^® . Windows ^® 7 contains a number of innovative functions and technologies, enabling your All-In-One PC to work quickly and reliably, while being easy to use.

Windows ^® 7 - News

Improved Taskbar

The Taskbar at the bottom of the screen enables you to start programs and change between programs which are already running. Using Windows ^® 7, you can place any program in the Taskbar, so that it will always open with one single click. You can also arrange the symbols on the Taskbar simply by clicking on them and dragging them to the desired position. The symbols are also considerably bigger, so that they are easier to use. Moving the cursor over the symbols will display miniatures of each file or each window open in the program. Moving the cursor over the miniature displays a full-screen preview of the particular window. Moving the cursor away from the miniature closes the full-screen preview.

Jump lists

Jump lists offer a practical possibility when opening files which you have recently worked on. To display recently used files, just right-click the application symbol on the Taskbar. Right-clicking on the Word symbol will display recently used Word documents. You can also easily place other files in the jump list if you would like to have them readily at hand, in which case they will always be displayed. This allows you to access documents which you use more frequently, with just a few mouse clicks.

The jump lists from a few programs, such as Windows ^® Media Player, can be filled in advance with frequently used commands. Thus, for example, the Windows ^® Media Player jump list might contain options to play all music or to re-open the latest play list.

The Internet Explorer jump list displays frequently and most recently visited websites. For certain programs, this enables rapid access commands which, in the past, could only be retrieved from the program itself, such as the command to create a new e-mail message.

Improved Desktop

Windows ^® 7 simplifies working with the windows on the Desktop. This provides you with more intuitive possibilities for opening and closing, as well as for changing the size and for rearranging.

Windows ^® 7 makes the performance of everyday tasks even simpler. For example, the Snaps function makes it easier than ever to compare two open windows. You do not need to adjust the size of the open window for comparison. Simply pull the window, using the mouse, to one of the edges at the side of the screen, and it will fill half the screen. Snap the window on both sides, and it is already easier than ever to compare two windows.

If you would like to display all Desktop mini-applications, simply move the mouse into the lower right hand corner of the Desktop. This makes all open windows transparent, so that the Desktop and all the mini-applications located on it will be instantly visible.

Click on the Titlebar of the window, "shake" it, and all open windows will be displayed as symbols on the Taskbar. "Shake" the window again, and the other windows will be displayed again.

Better device management

Windows ^® 7 enables you to close, manage and use all devices through the "Devices and Printers" central function.

All devices are displayed in a central position.

With the new Device Stage Technology, Windows ^® 7 even goes one step further in device management. Device Stage helps you use all compatible devices connected to your computer. Thanks to Device Stage, now you display the device status in one single window and carry out often-used commands. You will even find pictures of the devices here, easily enabling you to see which devices are connected. The manufacturer of the devices can even adapt Device Stage. If the manufacturer of your camera, for example, prepares an adapted version of Device Stage, you can see the number of photos on the camera and receive links to useful information when you link the camera to the All-In-One PC.

Homegroup

With homegroups, a new function of Windows ^® 7, the linking of home computers is really simple. A home network group is created automatically, for example, when you link the first All-In-One PC under Windows ^® 7 with the home network. The addition of additional All-In-One PCs with Windows ^® 7 to the home network group is quickly accomplished. You can indicate exactly what should be released on each All-In-One PC for all other All-In-One PCs in the home network group. Finally, the shared use of files on the various home All-In-One PCs, and on many other devices, is so simple that it is as if all files were located on one single hard drive. This allows you to store digital photos on the computer in your home office and then enjoy easy access to them from a laptop in any other room in the house. Similarly, the printer in home office is automatically released for all All-In-One PCs in the house, as long as they are all in the home network group.

Beginners and persons changing from other Windows versions systems are advised to read this material carefully.

Customer Service

Troubleshooting

Errors can have simple causes, but sometimes they are caused by faulty equipment. We would like to give you some ideas to solve common problems. Should these instructions not lead to success, please feel free to call us.

Localise the Cause

Visibly check all cables and connections. Should all lights be off, check whether all equipment is supplied with power.

• Check power points, power cable and all power switches.
• Switch off the All-In-One PC and check all cable connections. Check the connections to peripherals. Do not exchange cables, even though they may look similar. The polarity in those cables may be different. When it is confirmed that the computer has power and all connections are correct, turn the computer on again.

Frequent use of the programs Disk Defragmenter and Disk Cleanup will help you to avoid problems with your operating system.

The tool "System Information", available in the program folder "System Tools" is also very useful.

Information about conformity

The device fulfils electromagnetic compatibility and electricity safety requirements.

Your device complies with the basic requirements and the relevant guidelines of the 2004/108/EU EMV Guidelines [electromagnetic compatibility] and the 2006/95/EU Guideline for low voltage devices.

This device fulfils the basis requirements and the relevant regulation of the Ecodesign Guideline 2009/125/EG (Commission Regulation 1275/2008).

ISO 13406-2 Class II

Active matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels which are in turn composed of three sub-pixels each (red, green, blue), contain about

6.2 million addressable transistors. Because of this very high number of transistors and their extremely complex production process occasionally defective or incorrectly addressed pixels or sub-pixels may occur.

There have been several attempts in the past to define the acceptable number of defective pixels. But this can be difficult and varies widely between different manufacturers.

We, therefore, adhere to the clear and strict requirements of ISO 13406-2,

class II, for the warranty handling of all TFT display products. These requirements are summarized below.

Within ISO-standard 13406-2 the general requirements regarding pixel defects are defined. Pixel defects are classified into three failure types and four failure classes. Each individual pixel is made up of three sub-pixels in the primary colours (red, green, blue).

Pixel structure

Types of Pixel Failures:

- Type 1: A constantly lit pixel (a bright, white spot), even though it is not addressed. A white pixel is caused when all three sub-pixel are lit.

- Type 2: A pixel that does not light up (dark, black spot), although it is addressed

- Type 3: Abnormal or defective red, green or blue sub-pixels. (E.g. constantly lit with half the brightness, one colour is not shining, blinking or flickering, but not belonging to Type 1 or 2 Pixel Failures)

In addition: A cluster of type 3 (= 2 or more defective sub-pixels in an array of 5 x 5 pixel). A cluster is an array of 5 x 5 pixel (15 x 5 sub-pixel).

ISO 13406-2, Class II

Resolution Type 1	Type 2	Type 3	Cluster	Type 1, Type 2	Cluster Type 3
1024 x 768 2 2	4	0	2
1280 x 800 3 3	6	0	3
1280 x 854 3 3	6	0	3
1280 x 1024 3 3	7	0	3
1366 x 768 3 3	7	0	3
1400 x 1050 3 3	8	0	3

Example:

A 17" (approx. 43 cm) - SXGA-display consists of 1280 horizontal and 1024 vertical picture dots (pixel), which amounts to a total of 1,31 million pixels. Based on one million pixels this translates into a factor of about 1.31.

Class II type failure consequently allows for three defects each of type 1 and type 2 and 7 defects of type 3 and 3 cluster of type 3.

These cases are normally not covered by warranty.

If the number of failures exceeds the figures of any category mentioned above then this may be covered by the warranty.
