Introduction

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

Maintaining the PDT 8100

For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using your PDT 8100:
• Take care not to scratch the screen of your PDT 8100. When working with your
PDT 8100, 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 PDT 8100 screen.
• Although your PDT 8100 is water and dust resistant, do not expose it to rain or
moisture for an extended period of time. In general, treat your PDT 8100 as you
would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
• The touch-sensitive screen of your PDT 8100 contains glass. Take care not to drop
your PDT 8100 or subject it to strong impact.
• Protect your PDT 8100 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 PDT 8100 in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or
wet.
• Use a soft lens cloth to clean your PDT 8100. If the surface of the PDT 8100 screen
becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning
solution.
