Transportation

Shipping
Despite the rugged design of the computing unit, its built-in components are
sensitive to severe vibrations and shock. You must therefore protect your
computing unit from severe mechanical stress when it is in transit.
The computing unit should therefore only be transported in its original package.
Caution
Risk of computing unit suffering damage
When transporting the device in cold weather and it is subjected to extreme
differences in temperature, care must be taken to ensure that moisture is not
deposited on or in the device (moisture condensation).
Allow the device slowly to rise to room temperature before taking it into operation.
If condensation has formed, wait for approximately 12 hours before turning the
device on.
