Introduction

This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing your terminal, and provides
troubleshooting solutions for potential problems during terminal operating.

Safely Maintaining the PPT 8800

For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using your terminal:
• Take care not to scratch the screen of your terminal. When working with your
terminal, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a
touch-sensitive screen. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp object on
the surface of the terminal screen.
• Although your terminal is water and dust resistant, do not expose it to rain or
moisture for an extended period of time. In general, treat your terminal as you
would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
• The touch-sensitive screen of your terminal contains glass. Take care not to drop
your terminal or subject it to strong impact.
• Protect your terminal from temperature extremes. Do not leave it on the dashboard
of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from heat sources.
• Do not store or use your terminal in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or
wet.
• Use a soft lens cloth to clean your terminal. If the surface of the terminal screen
becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning
solution. (See Terminal and Cradle Connector Cleaning Guidelines on page 11-4
for additional information about cleaning the terminal and cradle connectors.)
Avoid exposing the PPT 8800, including its cradle, to con-
tact with hot oil or other flammable liquids. If such exposure
occurs, immediately clean the terminal (or cradle) in accor-
dance with the cleaning guidelines at the end of this guide.
