4. Storage, Maintenance, and Recycling
Follow the instructions in this chapter to properly maintain and
recycle the Mesa Pro.
4.1 Store the Mesa Pro and Battery Pack
When the tablet is not being charged and is in a sleep state,
it draws a small amount of power. This power draw is used to
maintain the memory (RAM) of the tablet in the same state it was
in when it was awake. Charge the tablet each night or weekend
when it is in a sleep state.
If the Mesa Pro battery reaches a low charge, it automatically
hibernates to prevent further drain on the battery. For more
information, see
25.
Note: Data and programs are secure as long as they have been
saved, even if the battery pack becomes discharged. The tablet
does not depend on the battery to store the data for extended
periods.
4.1.1 Store the Mesa Pro for More than Two Weeks
To store the tablet for two weeks or more, see
on page 27.
4.2 Protect the Touchscreen
Protect the touchscreen from impact, pressure, or abrasive
substances that could damage it. To further protect the
touchscreen, apply a screen protector (optional accessory) using
the directions that come in the package.
!
CAUTION: Replace the screen protector as often as the screen
protector instructions recommend.
4.3 Clean the Mesa Pro
Make sure the battery door is securely installed. Remove the
screen protector if you want to clean underneath it. Use warm
water, a mild cleaning solution, and a soft bristle brush to gently
clean the Mesa Pro.
!
CAUTION: Do not direct a high-pressure stream of water at
the device to clean it. This action could break the seal, causing
water to get inside the device and void the warranty.
