The netpad is a lightweight, shock and water resistant mobile tablet computer. The netpad has been designed for use in demanding environments within a wide range of industries. �������������������� ���������� ������ �������� ������������ ������������� ���������� ������������ ������������� ���������� Note: The Navigation Button and Programmable Function Keys are not fitted on all models. netpad user guide Fitting the Battery Pack Prolonging battery life netpad is powered by a single removable battery pack. To fit the battery pack, slide it into place until it clicks. You can take steps to help your batteries last longer: • Turn the screen brightness down • Use the Auto switch-off function, to automatically turn the netpad off, after a convenient time. To charge the battery, place the complete netpad in a netpad Docking Station (refer to Using The Docking Station on page 10), or place the battery in one of the optional battery chargers. The standard (850 mAH) netpad battery will normally be fully charged within 2 to 2.5 hours. An internal backup battery allows you to replace the battery pack at any time without loss of data, applications or resetting to the default settings. The backup battery maintains the netpad’s memory for some hours, however prolonged reliance on the backup battery does reduce its lifetime. �������������������� ������������ ������������ ��������� Note: Always switch off the netpad before removing the main battery. ������� ����� Battery safety • Do not store batteries at temperatures in excess of +60°C; the optimum storage temperature for maximum battery life is +10°C to +35°C. • Do not dispose of batteries in a fire - there is a danger of explosion. • Do not crush, puncture, open, dismantle, or otherwise mechanically interfere with batteries. • If a battery should leak, do not allow the contents to come into contact with your skin or your eyes. If it does, wash immediately with plenty of cold water and seek medical advice. • Do not short-circuit the terminals of the battery. • Do not expose the battery to excessive physical shock or vibration.
