General overview

1 General overview

1.1 What is what?

Tipro’s BeFREE is a newly developed module. BeFREE is an integration of PC and a LCD

touch screen, based on the existing FREE+ line. Therefore BeFREE is compatible with all

existing and future FREE/FREE+ line modules. The BeFREE offers full connectivity in a

very compact form and allows for easy-access serviceability. A special low heat producing

processor is used, which is powerful enough for most tasks (except gaming and server

applications). Due to low heat components and special design BeFREE produces very low

noise levels.

BeFREE is built in the housing of the original 15” FREE+. It consist of an industrial grade

motherboard, hard disk, DC/DC converter, touch screen, high brightness TFT and Tipro

controller.

1.2 What is new?

Version 2 of BeFREE has some significant changes to the first version, though general

characteristics as shape, modularity and serviceability remained the same.

The biggest change is the move from VIA chipset and processor to an Intel based platform.

The nominal speed of the processor stayed (1.0GHz.) but the performance improved

dramatically.

Besides the basic 1.0 GHz. processor, also a 1.5Ghz. processor is offered, with the same

chipset.

All internal electronics have been redesigned as well as all metal parts of the “drawer”.

2 Warnings

Tipro products are designed to operate safely when installed and used according to the

product instructions and general safety practices. The guidelines included in this chapter

explain the potential risks associated with BeFREE operation and provide important safety

practices designed to minimize these risks. By carefully following the information contained

in this chapter, you can protect yourself from hazards and create a safer BeFREE work

environment.

2.1 General Precautions for Tipro Products

Retain the safety and operating instructions provided with the product for future reference.

Follow all operating and usage instructions. Observe all warnings on the product and in the

operating instructions. To reduce the risk of fire, bodily injury, and damage to the equipment,

observes the following precautions.

2.1.1 Damage Requiring Service

Unplug the product from the electrical outlet and take the product to a Tipro authorized

service provider under the following conditions:
