Setting up the PC
Setting up your PC in the right way helps to ensure that your PC is comfortable to
operate.
Installation location
• Set up all components on a stable, level and vibration-free surface and only
operate them on a surface of this kind to prevent the PC from malfunctioning.
• Keep your PC and all connected devices away from moisture and avoid dust, heat
and direct sunlight. This will avoid faults or damage to your PC.
• Your PC is not suitable for use at VDU workstations within the meaning of §2 of the
German VDU workstation regulation.
Environmental requirements
• The PC can be operated at an ambient temperature of +10 °C to +35 °C and at a
relative humidity of 30% - 70% (non-condensing).
• When switched off, the PC can be stored at temperatures from -20 °C to 50 °C.
• During a thunderstorm, disconnect the mains plug and, in particular, remove
the network cable and, if applicable, the antenna cable. For extra safety, we
recommend using an overvoltage protection device to prevent your PC from
sustaining damage from the mains supply as a result of power surges or lightning
strikes.
• After transporting the PC, wait until it has reached ambient temperature before
switching it on. Major changes in temperature or fl uctuations in humidity can
cause moisture to build up within the PC due to condensation – this can cause an
electrical short circuit.
Ergonomics
Avoid dazzle, refl ections and strong bright-dark contrast 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 in daylight. This brightness can make it more diffi cult for the eyes to adjust
to the darker monitor.
The monitor should always be positioned so that the direction of vision is parallel to the
window frontage.
The parallel line of vision should also be maintained in relation to artifi cial lighting
equipment. In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where the workspace
is illuminated with artifi cial light.
