1.3: Environment Considerations
Power Supply
If using the notebook with the power supply provided, place the notebook
near to a power point to avoid trailing cables. If you do use an extension lead
make sure it is three-core and safely earthed.
Avoid connecting the notebook to a power supply that is shared with heavy-
duty equipment (such as hydraulic lifts, vacuum cleaners and lathes) or
portable tools. This sometimes causes irregularities in the power supply.
If possible, plug your notebook and all attached equipment into the same
mains outlet by using a multi-block connector - but take care not to overload
the circuit.
The RM Mobile One also comes with an anti-trip cable. RM strongly advise
that if the notebook is being used plugged in, then the anti-trip cable is also
used. This will help protect against damage to the notebook if the power
cable is caught.
Surface
Operate your notebook only if it is securely placed on a flat surface. Do not
use it on its side or upside down.
Avoid placing your notebook in an environment that is damp or dusty as this
will shorten the working life of the notebook.
Temperature
Do not place the notebook where it will have prolonged exposure to direct
sunlight.
Avoid extremes of temperature (below 5°C and above 35°C). If you move
your notebook from a cold place into a warm room, allow some time for it
to warm up before you switch it on so that it is at the correct operating
temperature.
RM recommend keeping the room less than 25°C for optimal operation of
the RM Mobile One system
Always make sure that all ventilation outlets are not obstructed, to prevent
overheating. Do not place your notebook where warm air might blow into
the ventilation outlets. You should leave about 10cm (4 inches) between the
rear cover of the RM Mobile One and any other vertical surface
