Maintenance
Fanless Cooling System
The PCG02 Pro features an elegant fanless cooling design, ensuring silent operation and dust resistance. This passive cooling system prevents overheating and supports 24/7 operation. Due to its fanless nature, the surface temperature may reach 55°C to 70°C during operation, which is normal and meets IEC62368-1:2018 safety standards.

Cleaning
To clean the device, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or aerosols, as they may damage the internal components.
Software Updates
Regularly check for and install operating system updates and driver updates to ensure optimal performance and security. These updates are typically managed through the operating system's built-in update features.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | No power, faulty adapter, or incorrect power source. | Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and plugged into a working outlet. Verify the power source meets PD3.0 requirements (12V+ output, 24W+ power). |
| No display output. | Incorrect HDMI connection, wrong display input, or display issue. | Check HDMI cable connections. Ensure your monitor/TV is set to the correct HDMI input. Test with a different HDMI cable or display if possible. |
| No internet connection (Wi-Fi/Ethernet). | Network configuration issues, weak signal, or router problem. | Verify Wi-Fi password. Check Ethernet cable connection. Restart your router. Ensure drivers are up to date. |
| Device feels warm to the touch. | Normal operation for fanless design. | This is expected. The fanless design allows for silent operation but results in higher surface temperatures (55-70°C). Ensure adequate airflow around the device. |
| Slow performance. | Too many applications running, low storage space, or outdated drivers. | Close unnecessary applications. Free up storage space. Update operating system and drivers. |
