3 Taking Care of the Tablet PC Loc ati on Guidel ines • For optimal performance, use the Tablet PC where the recommended tempe- rature is between 0 °C (32 °F) and 50 °C (122 °F). (Actual operating temperature depends on product specifications.) • Avoid placing the Tablet PC in a location subject to high humidity, extreme tempe- ratures, mechanical vibration, direct sun- light, or heavy dust. Using in extreme environments for long periods can result in product deterioration and a shortened product life. • Place the Tablet PC on a flat and steady surface. Do not stand the Tablet PC on its side or store it in an upside-down position. A strong impact by dropping or hitting may damage the Tablet PC. • Do not cover or block any ventilation openings on the Tablet PC. For example, do not place the Tablet PC on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur that results in damage to the Tablet PC. • As the Tablet PC can become very hot during operation, keep it away from objects that are vulnerable to heat. • Keep the Tablet PC at least 13 cm (5 inches) away from electrical appliances that can generate a strong magnetic field such as a TV, refrigerator, motor, or a large audio speaker. • Avoid moving the Tablet PC abruptly from a cold to a warm place. A temperature difference of more than 10 °C (18 °F) may cause condensation inside the unit, which may damage the storage media. General Guidel ines • Do not place heavy objects on top of the Tablet PC as this may damage the display. • The screen surface is easily scratched. Avoid touching it with a sharp object such as a pen or pencil. • LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time. You can avoid the problem by limiting the amount of static content on the display. It is recom- mended that you use a screen saver or turn off the display when it is not in use. • To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to auto- matically turn off as a result of power management. Cleaning Guidelines • Never clean the Tablet PC with its power on. • Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces of the Tablet PC. • If water or liquid is split onto the Tablet PC, wipe it dry and clean when possible. Do not leave the Tablet PC wet when you can dry it. • If the Tablet PC gets wet where the tem- perature is 0 °C (32 °F) or below, freeze damage may occur. Make sure to dry the wet Tablet PC. Battery Pack Guidelines • To charge the battery, connect the AC adapter to the computer and an electrical outlet. The Battery Charge Indicator ( ) on the Tablet PC glows amber to indicate that charging is in progress. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge Indicator glows green. • Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When recharging, make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so may avoid harm to the battery pack. • The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions will shorten its life: – when frequently charging the battery pack – when using, charging, or storing the battery in high temperature condition • To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby prolonging its useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so as not to frequently increase its internal temperature. • Charge the battery pack between 10 °C ~ 30 °C (50 °F ~ 86 °F) temperature range. A higher environment temperature will cause the battery pack’s temperature to rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed vehicle and in hot weather con- dition. Also, charging will not start if the
4 battery pack is not within the allowed temperature range. • It is recommended that you do not charge the battery pack more than once a day. • It is recommended that you charge the battery pack with the Tablet PC’s power off. • To maintain the battery pack’s operating efficiency when the Tablet PC is not in use, store it in a cool dark place and with 30% ~ 40% charge remaining. • The Tablet PC’s input voltage and sur- rounding temperature will directly affect the battery pack’s charge and discharge time: – charging time will be prolonged when the Tablet PC is turned on. To shorten the charging time, it is recom- mended that you place the Tablet PC in Sleep or hibernation mode. – a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten the dis- charge time. • When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, you may experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading. This phe- nomenon comes from the chemical char- acteristics of batteries. The appropriate operating temperature for the battery is -10 °C ~ 50 °C (14 °F ~ 122 °F). Touchsc reen Guidelines • Use the finger or the included stylus on the display. Using a sharp or metallic object other than your finger or stylus may cause scratches and damage the display, thereby causing errors. • Use a soft cloth to remove dirt on the dis- play. The touchscreen surface has a special protective coating that prevents dirt from sticking to it. Not using a soft cloth may cause damage to the special protective coating on the touchscreen surface. • Turn off the Tablet PC power when clean- ing the display. Cleaning the display with the power on may cause improper opera- tion. • Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the display as this may cause the glass to break thereby damaging the display. • Using the touchscreen during low tempe- rature (less than 5 oC / 41 °F) may cause a slower response time. This is normal. A normal response time may be restored upon returning to room temperature. • When there is a noticeable discrepancy in the placement of the stylus on the screen and the indicated position of the onscreen pointer, use the calibration utility to reca- librate the touchscreen display.
