

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 mean 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:
A.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
B.
Connect the equipment to another outlet of a circuit that does not connect with the
receiver.
C.
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 OPS883 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 OPS883 series before any installation. Be
sure both the system and external devices turned OFF already. Make sure the
OPS883 series set to ground properly.
4.
The brightness of the flat panel d isplay will be getting weaker as frequently
used. However, the operating period varies depending on the application
environment.
5.
The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or vibration. When assembling
the OPS883 series, make sure toinstall it securely.
6.
Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the storage
temperature is below 0℃ or above 45℃. It may damage the equipment.
7.
External equipment intended for connection to signal input/out or other
connectors shall comply with relevant UL/IEC standard.
8.
Do not open the back cover of the system. If opening the cover for
maintenance is necessary, only allow technicians to implement it. Integrated
circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid
damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
9.
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpai nted portion of the
system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static
electricity on your body.
10. Please wear a wrist-grounding strap if you handling boards and eletronic
components.
