Introduction
Make sure you carefully read the following information to ensure that your Data Collector is
able to perform at the level for which it is designed.
Handling Precautions
• Never try to take the unit apart or modify it in any way.
• Avoid leaving the Data Collector in direct sunlight, near heaters, or in any other area where
it might be subjected to intense heat for long periods. Also avoid areas subjected to high
humidity and large amounts of dust. Do not leave the Data Collector in a closed motor
vehicle.
• Do not throw or drop the Data Collector or otherwise subject it to strong impact, which can
damage the LCD screen, interrupt program execution, corrupt memory contents, or
otherwise interfere with proper operation.
• Use only your finger or a blunt object to operate the stroke keys, and your fingers or the
supplied stylus to operate the touch panel. Use of a sharp pointed object can damage
stroke keys and the touch panel, and cause shorting of internal circuitry.
• Use a soft, dry cloth when cleaning the Data Collector. Do not wipe with a wet cloth. Do not
use benzine, thinner, or other volatile chemicals, which can result in deformation and
deterioration of the materials used in the keys and case.
• Never place any objects on top of the Data Collector.
• Do not lay the Data Collector down with its key panel downwards. Doing so runs the risk of
accidental key operation, which can cause malfunction.
Data Collector Handling Precautions
• Never remove the main batteries while Data Collector power is turned on. Doing so will
cause all data in memory to be lost.
• Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the Data Collector's
case. Operating the Data Collector while condensation is present can interfere with proper
operation. Take care to avoid conditions that cause the formation of condensation. If
condensation does form, wait until it dries completely before using the Data Collector.
