Setup Location • Keep your PC and all connected devices away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight. Non-compliance with these instructions can lead to faults or damage to the PC. • Do not use the PC outdoors because external elements, such as rain, snow, etc., could damage it.
4.3. Ergonomics PLEASE NOTE! Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark contrast in order to protect your eyes. The PC 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 difficult for the eyes to adjust to the darker display. The PC should always be positioned so that the direction of vision is parallel to the window front.
5.1. Cabling Please follow the instructions below in order to correctly connect your PC: • Arrange cables in such a way that no one can tread on or trip over them. • Do not place objects on the cables. • Do not apply force when connecting cables and plugs and make sure that connectors are the right way round. • When you disconnect a cable from your device, pull it out by holding the plug and not the cable • In order to prevent short-circuits and cable breaks, do not crush or bend cables 5.2.
Connecting USB Devices Product Diagram position: A, B ATTENTION! Connect your USB devices after initial set-up of your new PC. This will prevent unnecessary confusion during installation. These devices can generally be connected during operation. Read the manual for your peripheral device first. • The voltage outputs of your PC for USB are protected by a fuse (limited power source according to EN60950).
5.3. Connecting a Monitor Product Diagram position: P Your PC is equipped with a VGA connection. PLEASE NOTE! If your monitor has multiple inputs (e.g. VGA and DVI), only ever connect one data cable at a time (to prevent signal mapping problems). To prevent damage to the contacts, ensure that the plug and socket fit together exactly. Due to its asymmetric shape, the plug will only fit into the socket in one position. Connect your monitor’s data cable to the graphics connection on your PC.
5.5.1. Connecting headphones Product Diagram position: C Connect headphones/earphones here. Plug the cable into the green socket on your PC using the 3.5 mm stereo jack plug. WARNING! 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 reproducing any sound. Start the sound reproduction and increase the volume to the level that is comfortable for you.
5.8. LAN Connection Product Diagram position: K Your 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. Connect the one plug of the cable to the PC jack. Connect the other plug to the other PC or hub/switch. For further information refer to chapter “The network”. 5.9.
6. First Use To operate your PC safely and ensure a long service life, you should read the “Operational safety” chapter at the beginning of this manual. All operating software is already fully preinstalled on the PC so there is no need for you to install any more drivers and you can get started right away: 6.1. Power ON Switch the monitor on. Switch on the mains switch by moving it to position I. (Set this switch to 0 to disconnect the power supply). Press the On/Off switch once to turn on your PC.
Licence Agreement Please read through the licence agreement carefully. It provides important legal information about the use of your software product. To view the text in full, you must slide the scroll bar downwards using the mouse until you reach the end of the document. You accept the licence agreement by checking the I accept the agreement radio button. Only this entitles you to use the product in accordance with the terms and conditions.
7. The Mouse Beside the two keys on the mouse, there is a wheel that can be used to scroll through documents or internet pages. PLEASE NOTE! The scroll wheel can be used as a button. The functionality depends on the application. In Word for example you can push the wheel to move up and down as a scroll function. If the mouse course moves jerkily on the screen, try a different surface (mouse pad). Glass and metallic surfaces might cause problems.
8. The Keyboard This section contains useful information about using the keyboard. 8.1. The Alt, Alt Gr and Ctrl Bbuttons The Alt key is used in combination with other keys to perform particular functions. These functions are determined by the program being used. To enter a keyboard shortcut with the Alt key, press and hold down the Alt key while you press the other key. The Alt Gr key works in a similar way to the Alt key, but is used to obtain special characters.
9. The Hard Drive The hard drive is your main memory medium and combines high storage capacity with rapid data access. Your PC is supplied with an OEM version** of the Microsoft Windows®8 operating system which supports all of the PC’s performance features. We have configured your PC’s hard drive so that you will be able to work with it optimally without having to install any additional drivers yourself.
9.1. Important Directories We have listed the most important directories below and described their contents. ATTENTION! Do not delete or modify these directories or their content otherwise data may be lost or system functionality may be impaired. C:\ The C: drive root directory contains important files required for Windows® 8 startup. On delivery these files are hidden for security reasons.
9.2. Connecting an External Hard Drive Product Diagram position: O Your PC has a slot which allows you to connect the MEDION HDDrive2Go super speed external hard drive quickly and easily via the USB 3.0 port. As with a USB memory stick, the connection can be made while the operating system is running. The hard drive is then automatically detected as removable storage and is assigned a drive letter.
10. The Optical Drive Product Diagram position: E, F 10.1. Loading and Removing a Disc Unlike optical drives on a desktop PC, the PC uses a mount to hold the disc. ATTENTION! Do not use scratched, broken, dirty or poor quality discs. The high speeds in the drive can cause these to break destroying your data and damaging your device. Inspect discs carefully before inserting them. If damage or dirt is visible, do not use the disc.
10.1.2. Removing the Disc To remove the disc, press the eject button again. Take the disc out and place it in a CD case. Close the drive again. 10.1.3. Emergency Release of a Blocked Disc In the event of the drawer no longer opening automatically, it can be opened manually providing your device has an emergency eject hole. Exit Windows® 8 and switch off the PC. Insert a long pointed object (e.g. straightened paperclip) into the emergency release until you feel some resistance.
10.4. Issues Relevant to the Burner This section only concerns devices supplied with a CD-RW, a combination CD/DVD read drive or a DVD-RW drive. First some information about blank discs 10.4.1. Blank CDs and DVDs Normal CDs are pressed by a glass master and then sealed. With blank discs, digital information is burned onto them using the drive’s laser. They are therefore more sensitive then conventional discs.
12. The graphics system Product Diagram position: M, P 12.1. Appearance and customisation This program gives you the option of customising the appearance on your monitor. This includes the background image, the screensaver and other settings for your monitor and your graphics card.

Before pressing play, set the volume to the lowest setting. Start playback and increase the volume to a comfortable level.
14. Network Operation 14.1. What is a Network? We talk about a network when multiple computers are directly connected to one another. This allows users to transfer information and data with one another and to share their resources (printers and drives). Here are a few concrete examples: • In an office, messages are exchanged by email and appointments are managed centrally. • Users share one printer on the network and back up their data to a central computer (server).
14.2.1. Requirements A so called WLAN access point may be used as a remote station. A WLAN access point is a radio transmitting device that communicates with your PC and controls access to the connected network. WLAN access points are frequently found in large offices, airports, train stations, universities or Internet cafés. They provide access to particular services and networks or to the Internet. Access permissions are generally necessary and often result in usage charges.
16. Software This section deals with the subject of software. We distinguish here between the operating system, the software (the applications), the Windows activation and the BIOS. 16.1.
