5.4.1 Handling PC Cards

While these cards are not constructed for a rugged en-
vironment, they are not intended to be stored in a techni-
cian's toolbox, back pocket or on the dashboard of a
vehicle.
The label on each card clearly states that the card is to
be handled with care - not to be bent, dropped or ex-
posed to impact. Heat, moisture and direct sunlight
should be avoided.
PC cards are designed to be used in a wide temperature
range of -40 to +185°F (-40 to +85°C). When a PC card
is connected to an Advance microprocessor or com-
puter at temperatures outside this range, data transmis-
sion between the card and the other device may not be
performed correctly.
Retention of programmed data for extended periods of
time requires a temperature range of -4 to +149°F (-20
to +65°C). When PC cards are exposed to temperatures
outside of this range for several days data contained on
the card may be damaged.
PC cards should never be:
•
Dropped.
• .
Bent
• .
Twisted
• .
Squeezed
•
Submersed in any liquid
•
Exposed to electrostatic discharge
•
Exposed to intense ultraviolet light
•
Exposed to nearby magnetic or electromagnetic
.
fields
Low X-Ray exposure, i.e. that experienced while
passing through a security screen, should not harm the
card data. High X-Ray exposure, i.e. that experienced in
a medical or dental environment may damage the card
data. PC cards should not be exposed to magnets such
as a pocket screwdriver with a magnetic end.
PC cards should be kept in a hard plastic jewel case
when not in use. Replacement cases P/N 58-50109-00
are available from Carrier Transicold's Performance
Parts Group.
