Warnings and Precautions

Please read these instructions very carefully before operating the terminal for the first time.
Before plugging in the terminal, it must be ensured that the voltage listed on the model plate
matches the local voltage supply. If this is not the case, the terminal must not be connected
under any circumstances.
While the IND970 terminal is very sturdy, it is also a precision instrument. For this reason, care
should be exercised when handling and installing the terminal.
The IND970 hardware and software is based on PC technology. For this reason, take
corresponding protective measures, especially if the terminal is connected to a network or the
Internet:

Install an antivirus program and also an anti-spyware program under Windows and always
keep them updated.
Under Windows, use a personal firewall and update it regularly. If it is correctly configured,
it will protect against attacks from the Internet. If the IND970 should ever be infected with a
computer virus, it prevents data from being transmitted to an attacker.
Pay attention to any security updates for your operating system and other software that may
be installed and apply those updates.
If possible, do not work on your IND970 as an administrator, or malware may do even
more damage. Establish different user accounts for all users of an IND970. Assign only
those rights to these accounts which the respective user actually requires in order to work.
This also protects private files from being accessed by others.
Handle your access data very carefully: Keep passwords, user names and access codes to
services in a secure place. Change passwords at regular intervals.
Be careful when opening e-mail attachments. Malware is frequently distributed using file
attachments in e-mails. If in doubt, always ask the sender whether he actually sent the
attachment.
Be careful when downloading from websites. Before downloading programs from the
Internet, ensure that the source is trustworthy and that your antivirus program features the
latest update.
Be cautious when forwarding personal information. Online cheaters increase their success
rates by approaching their victims on an individual basis: Previously spied data, such as
surfing habits or names from your personal environment, are used to inspire trust.
If you are using transmission technologies such as Voice over IP (VoIP) or Wireless LAN
(WLAN), it is recommended that you encode your communication so that third parties
cannot read the transmission of your data or listen in to your conversations.
