maintain the temperature, units should be switched on before entry into a freezer environment and should be left connected to vehicle power and running at all times while in a freezer environment.

When moving between freezer and warm, humid environ- ments, window condensation or icing on the outside of the display window is a normal occurrence. Wiping the conden- sation from the window may help, but the operator may need to wait until the condensation stops forming before use.

To reduce condensation and frost on vehicle-mount displays, use an anti-fogging agent once a week or as required.

Contact lubricant and connector caps must be used on all external connectors to maintain a moisture barrier and pre- vent corrosion during freezer and outdoor use. On all

8525 G2/8530 G2 vehicle-mount computers, the contact lubricant –PN 95146 (Nyogel) must be used. Further, the appropriate contact lubricant should be replaced at least monthly in applications requiring daily or frequent removal of cables. Refer to the table below for connector cap part numbers.

Backup Battery

The vehicle-mount back up battery capacity is reduced as the operat- ing temperature cools. The table below provides a general outline of battery capacity based on the operating temperature. Charging of the back up battery will occur between +5° C and +45° C.

Note: If the backup battery temperature is less than +10° C and a brown-out occurs, the display backlight will switch off in order to maintain vehicle-mount operations. The backlight
