Introduction

This chapter provides information to help you take proper care of your SPT 1700 terminal
and prolong battery life. It also discusses how to reset your SPT 1700 terminal.

Caring for Your SPT 1700 Terminal

Your SPT 1700 terminal is designed to be reliable and to provide years of trouble-free service.
However, you should observe the following tips when using your SPT 1700 terminal:
Take care not to scratch the screen of your SPT 1700. When working with your SPT
!
1700, 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 SPT 1700 screen.
Although your SPT 1700 is water and dust resistant, it should not be exposed to rain
!
or moisture for an extended period of time. In general, treat your SPT 1700 as you
would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
The touch-sensitive screen of your SPT 1700 contains a glass element. Take care not
!
to drop your SPT 1700 or subject it to any strong impact.
Protect your SPT 1700 from temperature extremes. Do not leave your SPT 1700 on
!
the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from heaters and other heat
sources.
Do not store or use your SPT 1700 in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or
!
wet.
Use a soft lens cloth to clean your SPT 1700. If the surface of the SPT 1700 screen
!
becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning
solution.

Battery Considerations

Please note the following considerations when charging the battery in your SPT 1700
terminal:
Under normal conditions, your SPT 1700 terminal battery should provide
!
approximately 8 hours of use before the battery requires recharge. You can conserve
battery life by minimizing the use of the backlight feature, and selecting the "Auto-
off after" setting that automatically turns the SPT 1700 terminal off after a period of
inactivity (see General Preferences on page 12-9).
