Safety Approvals
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. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
2. . Connect the equipment to another outlet of a circuit that doesn’t connect with the receiver.
3. 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.
iii
Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.
1.
The OPS870 series 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 OPS870 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 OPS870 series must be properly grounded.
4.
Make sure it is the correct voltage of the power source before connecting the
equipment to the power outlet.
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.
6.
The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or vibration. W hen assembling the
OPS870 series, make sure it is securely installed.
7.
Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage
temperature is below 0℃ or above 40℃. It may damage the equipment.
8.
External equipment intended for connection to signal input/out or other connectors
shall comply with relevant UL/IEC standard.
9.
Do not open the back cover of the system. 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:
iv

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.

W hen handling boards and components, wear a wrist -grounding strap, available
from most electronic component stores.
