Hard drive compartment:

The hard drive compartment allows field upgrades or repairs without opening the HAMMERHEAD RT. Some customers may have IT Departments that will be trained to replace hard drives at the customer location. You should not open the hard drive compartment without the proper training from WalkAbout Computers. Any tampering of the hard drive will result in a void warranty.

Bottom guide pinholes:

The bottom guide pinholes are used to align the computer when placed in a vehicle, desktop, or wall-mount docking station. Simply insert the computer onto the gauge ball guide pins and tilt the computer back until the docking connectors engage. If power is applied to the docking station, a positive docking indication will result by the illumination of the charging status icon on the HAMMERHEAD RT.

Tips for proper use and care of your computer

The HAMMERHEAD RT is a rugged field computer, but it is an electronic device and reasonable precautions should be taken:

•Don’t subject the computer to extreme heat by placing it on the dashboard of a vehicle with the display facing the sun.

•Don’t store the computer in temperatures below -40°C.

•Don’t pile tools or heavy objects on top of the computer.

•Avoid severe impacts, especially on the display glass.

•Don’t try to take the computer apart. Special tools are required to disassemble the computer. Disassembly of the unit by unauthorized personnel may void the warranty.

•Don’t use excessive force when inserting PC Cards into the CardBus slots, as they keyed to go in only one way.
