Precautions

The CF-28 was developed based on thorough research into the real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pur- suit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to innovations such has the magnesium alloy exterior, vibration damped hard disk drive and floppy disk drive, flexible internal connections. The CF-28's outstanding engineering has been tested using the stiff MIL-STD- 810E (for vibration and shock) and IP (for dust and water) based procedures.

As with any portable computer device precautions should be taken to avoid any damage. The following usage and handling procedures are recommended.

Before putting the computer away, be sure to wipe off any moisture.

Avoiding low-temperature burns

Avoid more than casual contact with any heat pro- ducing area of the notebook computer, AC adap- tor, and any option or accessory you use with it. Even low heat, if warmer than body temperature, can cause a burn, if the skin is exposed to the heat source for a long enough period of time.
