•
The FlexPendant may only be used for the purposes mentioned in this
manual.
•
Always use the hand-strap while holding the FlexPendant.
•
Handle with care. Do not drop, throw, or give the FlexPendant strong shock.
It can cause breakage or failure.
•
If the FlexPendant is subjected to shock, always verify that the safety
functions (three-position enabling device and emergency stop) work and are
not damaged.
•
Always use and store the FlexPendant in such a way that the cable does not
become a tripping hazard.
•
When not using the device, place it in its holder.
•
Never use sharp objects (such as screwdriver or pen) for operating the touch
screen. This could damage the touch screen. Instead use your finger or a
stylus.
•
Never clean the FlexPendant with solvents, scouring agent, or scrubbing
sponges.
See the product manual for the robot controller, section Cleaning the
FlexPendant.
•
Always close the protective cap on the USB port when no USB device is
connected. The port can break or malfunction if exposed to dirt or dust.
•
Do not squeeze and thus damage the cable.
•
Do not lay the cable over sharp edges.
CAUTION
The FlexPendant touch screen is made of glass. If the device is dropped on a
hard surface or receives a significant impact the glass could break. To reduce
the risk of cuts if the glass chips or cracks, do not touch or attempt to remove
the broken glass.
