Getting Ready

Handling Precautions

•Your ClassPad is made of precision components. Never try to take it apart.

•Avoid dropping your ClassPad and subjecting it to strong impact.

•Do not store the ClassPad or leave it in areas exposed to high temperatures or humidity, or large amounts of dust. When exposed to low temperatures, the ClassPad may require more time to display results and may even fail to operate. Correct operation will resume once the ClassPad is brought back to normal temperature.

•Replace the batteries once every one year regardless of how much the ClassPad is used during that period. Never leave dead batteries in the battery compartment. They can leak and damage the ClassPad.

•Do not use an oxyride battery or any other type of nickel-based primary battery with this product. Incompatibility between such batteries and product specifications can result in shorter battery life and product malfunction.

•Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

•Avoid using volatile liquids such as thinners or benzine to clean the ClassPad. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, or with a cloth that has been moistened with a solution of water and a neutral detergent and wrung out.

•Always be gentle when wiping dust off the display to avoid scratching it.

•In no event will the manufacturer and its suppliers be liable to you or any other person for any damages, expenses, lost profits, lost savings or any other damages caused by loss of data and/or formulas arising out of malfunction, repairs, or battery replacement. It is up to you to prepare physical records of data to protect against such data loss.

•Never dispose of batteries, the liquid crystal panel, or other components by burning them.

•When the “Batteries are extremely low!” message appears on the display, replace the batteries as soon as possible.

•Be sure to turn off the ClassPad before replacing the batteries.

•If the ClassPad is exposed to a strong electrostatic charge, its memory contents may be damaged or the keys may stop working. In such a case, perform the reset operation to clear the memory and restore normal key operation.

•If the ClassPad stops operating correctly for some reason, use the stylus to press the P button on the back of the ClassPad. Note, however, that this clears all the data in ClassPad memory.

•Note that strong vibration or impact during program execution can cause execution to stop or can damage the ClassPad’s memory contents.

•Using the ClassPad near a television or radio can cause interference with TV or radio reception.

•Before assuming malfunction of the ClassPad, be sure to carefully reread this user’s guide to ensure that the problem is not due to insufficient battery power, programming, or operational errors.

•Make sure nothing gets between the front cover and the touch screen. Besides creating the risk of scratching the touch screen, an object coming into contact with the screen can cause the power to turn on and run down the batteries.

•Always attach the front cover to the ClassPad whenever you are not using it. Otherwise, accidental operation of the touch screen or the 0key can cause the power to turn on and

run down the batteries.
