This chapter includes instructions on cleaning and storing the mobile computer, and provides troubleshooting solutions for potential

Maintaining the Mobile Computer

For trouble-free service, observe the following tips when using the mobile computer:

• Do not scratch the screen of the mobile computer. When working with the mobile computer, 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 mobile computer screen.

• Although the mobile computer is water and dust resistant, do not expose it to rain or moisture for an extended period of

time. In general, treat the mobile computer as a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.

• The touch-sensitive screen of the mobile computer is glass. Do not to drop the mobile computer or subject it to strong impact.

• Protect the mobile computer from temperature extremes. Do not leave it on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it

away from heat sources.

• Do not store or use the mobile computer in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.

• Use a soft lens cloth to clean the mobile computer. If the surface of the mobile computer screen becomes soiled, clean it

with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
