4. Setting up the PC

Setting up your PC correctly goes a long way towards ensuring comfortable opera-
tion.

4.1. Installation location

• Keep your PC and all connected devices away from moisture and avoid dust,
heat and direct sunlight. This will help to avoid malfunctions or damage to the
PC.
• Place all devices onto a stable, flat and vibration-free surface and only operate
them on this type of surface in order to prevent the PC malfunctioning.

4.2. Environmental requirements

• The PC can be operated at ambient temperatures of +50 °F to +95 °F (+10 °C to
+35 °C) and a relative humidity of 30%–70% (non-condensing).
• When switched off, the PC can be stored at temperatures from -4 °F to +122 °F
(−20 °C to 50 °C)
• Pull out the mains plug during thunder storms and, in particular, remove the
aerial cable (if present). For extra safety, we recommend using an overvoltage
protection device to prevent the PC from sustaining damage as a result of power
surges or lightning strikes.
• After transporting the PC, wait until the device has reached ambient tempera-
ture before switching it on. Large changes in temperature or fluctuations in hu-
midity can cause moisture build-up within the PC due to condensation. This can
cause an electrical short circuit.

4.3. Ergonomics

PLEASE NOTE!
Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark con-
trast in order to protect your eyes.
The monitor should never be placed next to a window because this is the brightest
part of the room during daylight. This brightness can make it more difficult for the
eyes to adjust to the darker monitor.
Always place the monitor so that the direction of vision is parallel to the window
front (see image).
This parallel direction of vision should also be maintained in relation to any artificial
lighting equipment. In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where
the workspace is illuminated with artificial light.
