Chapter 1: Introduction

Caring For The netpad

The backup battery is not user replaceable. If the backup battery requires replacement the netpad must be returned to a Psion Teklogix approved service centre.

Drop Rating

The netpad is designed to survive being dropped on any face, onto concrete, from a height of 1.5 m (5 ft.).

Dropping the netpad from greater heights or onto harder surfaces may result in damage to the netpad.

IP Rating

The netpad is rated to IP67 and can survive submersion in water to a depth of 1 m (3.3 ft.) for up to 30 minutes. Submersion below this depth or for longer periods may result in damage to the netpad.

Operating Temperature

The netpad is designed to operate within the temperature limits of -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to 140°F); and -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) for scanner variants. Use of the netpad outside of these temperature limits may reduce its life.

Avoid exposing the netpad to sudden changes in temperature, since such exposure may result in damage.

Important: As a safety precaution, charging the netpad battery should be limited to the temperature range: -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to 140°F); and -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) for scanner variants. Outside of these limits, the safety circuits of the netpad battery pack will not allow the battery to charge.

Storage Temperature

The netpad is designed to be stored within the temperature ranges of -25°C to +70°C (-13°F to 158°F); and -25°C to +60°C (-13°F to 140°F) for scanner variants. Storage of the netpad outside of these temperature limits may reduce its life.

To prolong the life of the netpad battery packs during normal storage, store the netpad (and the battery pack) between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F).

When storing the netpad for a long period of time, the main battery should be removed and stored fully discharged.
