Caring for your handheld computer

Your handheld computer is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide years of trouble-free service. Please observe the following general tips when using your handheld computer:

■Take care not to scratch the screen of your handheld computer. Keep the screen clean. When working with your handheld computer, 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 screen.

■Your handheld computer is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Under extreme conditions, water may enter the circuitry through the front panel buttons. In general, treat your handheld computer as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.

■The touch-sensitive screen of your handheld computer contains a glass element. Take care not to drop your handheld computer or subject it to any strong impact. Do not carry it in your back pocket: if you sit on it, the glass may break.

■Protect your handheld computer from temperature extremes. Do not leave it 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 handheld computer in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.

■Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your handheld computer. If the surface of the screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
