Caring for your handheld

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

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

■Your handheld 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 as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.

■Take care not to drop your handheld or subject it to any strong impact. Do not carry your handheld in your back pocket; if you sit on it, you may damage it.

■Protect your handheld from temperature extremes. For example, do not leave your handheld on the dashboard of a car on a hot day or on a day when temperatures are below freezing, and keep it away from heaters and other heat sources.

■Do not store or use your handheld in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.

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