Care and Use
Refer to the following guidelines for proper care and use of the Viper 4 and the Viper 4+:
• Do not apply liquid or glass cleaner directly to the surface of the touch screen. Harsh chemicals may
damage the touch screen. Clean the touch screen and exterior enclosure as needed with a soft cloth
dampened with glass cleaner. Apply the cleaner to the cloth and then wipe the screen gently.
• Do not use any type of pointed or sharp instrument on the touch screen. Only a fingertip or an approved
stylus should be used.
• Damage to the Viper 4 may occur if the USB ports are used to charge mobile devices such as cellular
phones, tablets, or mp3 devices. On the Viper 4, the USB ports should only be used for performing file
transfer and maintenance. On the Viper 4+, the USB port may also be used for charging mobile devices.
• While the Viper 4 and Viper 4+ are resistant to limited exposure to the elements, they are not weatherproof.
Mount the unit inside of the machine cabin or drivers compartment and not exposed to precipitation,
condensation, or other liquids for extended periods. If the vehicle cabin is not enclosed, remove the unit at
the end of each days use. Store the Viper 4 and Viper 4+ in a dry environment when not in use.
• When temperatures are expected to be 0° F [-17° C] or lower, remove the Viper 4 from the vehicle and store
it in a climate controlled environment. At these temperatures, the unit will not sustain damage, however, the
Viper 4 and Viper 4+ may not operate as expected until the temperature of the unit is raised above this
temperature.
• Mount the Viper 4 and Viper 4+ securely and route cables to prevent tripping hazards and keep the wires
from pinching or breaking.
• Always remove the power connections for the Viper 4 and Viper 4+ and any control nodes or ECUs from the
machine battery before jump starting or welding on any component of the machine or implement. Jump
starting or welding on the equipment will damage the Viper 4 and Viper 4+ and CANbus nodes or ECUs.
