Precautions

The CF-P1 was developed based on thorough research into real-world portable computing environments. Exhaustive pursuit of usability and reliability under harsh conditions led to innovations such as the magnesium alloy exterior and flexible internal connections.

The CF-P1'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 to the CF-P1 damage. The following usage and handling procedures are recommended.

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

Avoid Extreme Heat and Cold

Do not store or use the computer in locations exposed to heat (in an automobile on a sunny day, for example), direct sunlight, or extreme cold.

Avoid moving the computer between loca- tions with large temperature differences. Operation

Temperature: -20 oC to 50 oC {-4 oF to 122 oF}

Humidity:

30% to 80% RH (No condensation)

Storage

 

Temperature: -25 oC to 60 oC {-13 oF to 140 oF}

Humidity:

30% to 90% RH (No condensation)

Avoid Radio Frequency In- terference

Do not place the computer near a television or radio receiver.

Be careful of low-tempera- ture burns

Avoid more than casual contact with any heat producing area of the computer, AC adaptor, and any option or accessory you use with it. Even low heat, if warmer than the body’s temperature, can cause burns, if the skin is ex- posed to the heat source for a long enough period of time.

Avoid Magnetic Fields

Keep the computer away from magnets.

Avoid Stacking

Do not place heavy objects on the computer.

Keep Small Objects Away Do not insert paper clips or other small objects into the computer.

Do Not Disassemble the com- puter

Do not attempt to disassemble your computer.

Avoid Excessive Force on the

LCD

Do not apply excessive down- ward force on the LCD.

Handling

Do not drop or hit your computer against solid objects.

Remove all cables before transporting your computer.

We recommend that the battery be fully charged. We also recommend that the sub- battery (a built-in coin type battery) be fully charged.

When transporting spare batteries inside a package, briefcase, etc., we recommend that the batteries be stored in a plastic bag.

Always carry your computer with you when traveling. Never check it in with lug- gage. For use of the computer inside an aircraft, we recommend asking the airlines regarding their policy on this issue.

It is a good idea to make backup copies on SD/Multi Media Cards and carry them with you.
