Setting Up
Remember that choosing the proper location for your Nettop PC is just as important as connecting it correctly.
Set-up Location • Keep your Nettop PC and all units connected to it away from moisture, dust, heat and direct sunlight. Failure to observe these instructions can lead to malfunctions or damage to the Nettop PC. • To prevent damage to your Nettop PC from a fall, place and operate the Nettop PC and all connected units on a stable, balanced and vibration-free surface.
Ambient Temperature • The Nettop PC can be operated at an ambient temperature of between 10° and 35°C (+41° and +95°F) and at a relative humidity of between 30% and 70% (without condensation). • When powered off, the Nettop PC can be stored at temperatures between -20° and 50°C (–40° and +158°F). • Unplug the cable during thunderstorms and make especially sure to remove the an- tenna cables, if present. We recommend the use of a surge protector for additional safety, in order to protect your Nettop PC from being damaged by power peaks or lightning strikes through the power network. • Delay operating a Nettop 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 Nettop PC, which might cause an electrical short circuit.

• In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time. We recommend that you ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract the formation of the smell. During the development of this product, we have made sure that the applicable limits are clearly decreased.
Note
You only need to connect those components to your computer that you re- quire. If you do not have the described device available (e. g. printer) you may carry out the connection later.

Connecting USB Devices Diagram reference: F
Warning!
Connect your USB devices after initial set-up of your new Nettop PC. This will prevent unnecessary confusion during installation. These devices can generally be connected during operation. Read the manual for your periph- eral device first.
• The voltage outputs of your Nettop PC for USB are protected by a fuse (limited power source according to EN60950). This ensures that a malfunction of the Net- top PC will not damage the peripheral devices connected to the respective jacks. You have a choice of several connection sockets. It does not matter which you use.
Note
Take care that the connector and the socket fit exactly to avoid damaging the contacts. Because of its asymmetric form the plug only fits into the socket in one position.
1. If you wish to use a printer, scanner or other device with a USB port, connect the cable to the USB socket on your Nettop PC.
Note
Connect your devices always to the same port otherwise your operating sys- tem will give a new ID and asks for driver installation.
LAN Connection Diagram reference: G Your Nettop PC is equipped with a network connection, in order to prepare it for network operation. The network cable usually has two RJ45 plugs so that it is unimportant which plug is connected to which jack. 1. Connect the one plug of the cable to the Nettop PC jack. 2. Connect the other plug to the other Nettop PC or hub/switch. For further information refer to chapter “The Network” starting at page 36.

Connecting headphones Diagram reference: L Here you connect headphones/earphones. 1. Connect the cable with the 3.5 mm stereo jack plug in the green socket at the front of your Nettop PC (diagram reference L).
Caution!
The use of headphones/earphones with a high volume can lead to lasting damage to your hearing. Set the volume to the lowest level before reproduc- ing any sound. Start the sound reproduction and increase the volume to the level that is comfortable for you. Changing the basic settings of the equalizer can also cause damage to the hearing of the listener.
It can cause damage to the hearing ability of the listener if a device is operated through earphones with an increased volume for a long period.

Getting Started
The software on this Nettop PC comes fully pre-installed. You do not have to load any of the CD's/DVD’s supplied. With many programs (e.g., telephone-CD's or encyclopae- dias), however, it is necessary to insert the corresponding CD/DVD in order to call up the data which is stored on it. The software will ask you to do this as necessary. Once you have made all the connections and secured the necessary connectors you can turn on the moni- tor, the other peripherals and finally the Nettop PC itself.
Step 1: Power On 1. Power on the monitor.
AC adapter
2. Provide power to your Nettop PC by pressing the switch to position [I]. (You will stop the flow of current to the Nettop PC by pressing the switch to position [0])

The Optical Drive as Boot Drive The optical drives can be used for booting the operating system. If the Nettop PC does not boot, it is possible that autostart is turned off in the BIOS or the CD is not bootable.
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 coun- try 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 Nettop 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 war- ranty. If resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be billed to the user.

Only connect the headphones/earphones to the front connector of your Nettop PC (diagram reference: L).
Caution!
The use of headphones/earphones with a high volume can lead to lasting damage to your hearing. Set the volume to the lowest level before reproduc- ing any sound. Start the sound reproduction and increase the volume to the level that is comfortable for you. Changing the basic settings of the equalizer can also cause damage to the hearing of the listener.
It can cause damage to the hearing ability of the lis- tener if a device is operated through earphones with an increased volume for a long period.

The Network
Diagram reference: G Your Nettop 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 Nettop PC to another or several other Nettop PCs. Us- ers 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. • Share one modem or one ISDN card among computers for Internet access. • Two or more Nettop PCs can be connected to play network games or share data.

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 envi- ronment? 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 Nettop PCs should be linked you require a cross-link ca- ble, 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”.

System Restore
Windows XP® provides a useful function (System Restore) enabling the storage of the so- called Recovery points. The system remembers the current configuration as a snapshot and returns to this, if nec- essary. The advantage is that an unsuccessful installation can be cancelled. Recovery points are created automatically by the system, but they can also be set manu- ally. You can determine and configure yourself the maximum memory taken up by this. You find this program in the program file under accessories, system programs. We recommend setting a recovery point before installing a new software or driver. If the system does not run stable any longer this enables you usually to return to a workable configuration without deleting newly created documents. In the next paragraph read your options for a repair of an incorrect installation.
Correction Windows XP® includes various functions ensuring that the Nettop PC as well as the in- stalled applications and devices work correctly. These functions assist you in solving the problems which might occur by adding, deleting or replacing files required for the functionality of the operating system, the applications and devices. The recovery function or functions you use depend on the type of occurring problem or error. For detailed information refer to the Windows help. Enter the search word “Overview over the repair” in order to evaluate which of the following functions is the safest way to correct your problem: • Backup • Recreation of device drivers • Deactivation of the device • System recreation • Last configuration known to function • Protected Mode and system recreation • Recreation console • Windows installation disk

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
When do I have to activate Windows?
Your software has been preactivated in the factory. An activation will only be required, if ...... several components are replaced by others. ... you install a new motherboard. ... a different BIOS version has been installed. ... you install the software to another computer. What is the Windows activation?
Your operating instructions include a chapter about this subject.
How do I perform a data backup?
Make a backup and another backup of selected data to an external medium (CD-R), to familiarise yourself with the technique. A backup is unsuitable if you are not able to recover the data, the medium (CD-R, CD-RW) is defective or no longer available. Do I still have to install the enclosed CDs/DVDs?
No. Basically all programs are already preinstalled. The disks are only intended as backup copies. When is the recovery of the factory setting recommended?
This method should be chosen as the last resort. Read chapter “System Restore” on page 48 concerning the alternatives possi- ble. Why is the boot partition missing when booting from the support/ application CD? The first partition is formatted with the file system NTFS. Com- pared to FAT32 this file system offers more security and a more efficient access. However, NTFS partitions can only be read from operating systems supporting this. This is not the case in the aforementioned CD.

Errors and Possible Causes The monitor is blank. • Confirm that the system is not in stand-by mode. Press any key on the keyboard to test this out. Wrong Date and Time: • Click the clock on the taskbar and correct the date and time. After a system restart a new drive letter is assigned to the cards in the card slots. • This can happen, when the card reader re-initializes the slots during a system start. New IDs might be assigned, which can lead to new drive letters for some cards. No data can be accessed from the optical drive. • Check whether the disc is inserted correctly. • Is the optical drive displayed in Windows Explorer? If so, test another disc. The mouse does not work. • Check the cable. • Does your mouse work with other programs? There is not enough room on the HDD. • Audio or video recordings need a great deal of memory (between 1 and 2 GB/hour). Safeguard files that you do not need on external media, such as DVD/CD-Rs or hard drives.

Notes for Service Engineers • Before opening the housing, disconnect the Nettop PC from all power sources and remove any connecting cables. If the Nettop PC has not been disconnected from the power outlet before being opened, there is a danger to life through electric shock. There is also a risk of damage to the components. • Internal components of the Nettop PC may be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Carry out system upgrades and changes in an ESD-protected workshop. If no such workshop is available, wear an antistatic wrist strap or touch a highly conductive metal object. Medion can repair damage sustained by inappropriate handling for a fee. • Use only original spare parts.
Caution!
Lithium batteries can not handle intense pressure, high temperatures or fire. There is a danger of explosion if replaced incorrectly. Replace batteries with a compatible type as recommended by the manufacturer. Lithium batteries are hazardous waste and require proper disposal. Contact the Service Centre for additional information on battery disposal.

2. Scope Subject to any exclusions set out within this warranty, where there is a defect in your MEDION product covered by this warranty, MEDION will repair or replace the MEDION product. The decision whether to repair or replace the product will be made solely at the discretion of MEDION. MEDION may, in its own discretion, replace the product returned for repair under warranty with a replacement product that is either identical or, in the event that such product(s) are no longer available, a product of equal or superior specifi- cation and quality. No warranty is given for batteries or rechargeable batteries or for consumable materials subject to wear and tear, i.e. for parts which have to be replaced periodically during the normal use of the product, such as video-projector lamp. Non critical failures that fall within industry specified tolerances e.g. noise, LCD pixels are not covered by this warranty. Please consult the appropriate section in your user or in- struction manual for this product for exact specifications and tolerances. To the extent which is permitted under law, MEDION will accept no liability for burnt-in images on plasma or LCD products as a result of normal wear and tear during the opera- tion of the product. Please refer to your user or instruction manual for this product for detailed operating instructions for your plasma or LCD product. The warranty does not cover errors relating to the playback of data media in an incom- patible format or created with unsuitable software. If it is found during repair or assessment that the defect concerned is not covered under warranty, MEDION reserves the right to invoice you for all reasonable costs incurred by MEDION. These costs will be in relation to the return of the product, including reasonable administration costs, plus reasonable costs for materials used and labour provided when repairing or replacing the product. This is subject to MEDION providing you with an esti- mate for carrying out such work prior to costs being incurred and that you have accepted the estimate. You are entitled to seek independent advice or consultation relating to your product or any of MEDION’s findings. MEDION will not be liable for any costs incurred to you when doing so.
