Routine Care
To keep your handheld PC in good condition and working
properly, follow these guidelines:
■
Operate the device with the main and backup batteries
installed, even when using external power. This ensures that it
will have the necessary power to operate when disconnected
from external power.
■
Keep the device away from excessive moisture and
temperature extremes. Do not expose the device to liquids or
precipitation.
■
To prevent damage to the screen, do not place anything on top
of the device when it is closed.
■
Store the device in a protective case when not in use.
CAUTION:
Compaq cases are designed for carrying convenience
only. The cases do not protect the device against damage caused by
excessive shock and vibration.
■
To clean the device, wipe the screen and the exterior with a
soft, damp cloth moistened only with water.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the
internal components, do not spray liquid directly on the screen or
allow excess liquid to drip down inside the device. Using soap or
other cleaning products on the screen may discolor the finish and
damage the screen.
■
Avoid exposing the device to direct sunlight or strong
ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. Also avoid
scratching the surface of the screen and banging it against
hard objects.
