instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.
Caring for your device
Cleaning
Turn off the device, and disconnect it from external power. Use a soft, dampened cloth
with either water or a diluted mild detergent. If a mild detergent is used, ensure all soap
residue is removed. Do not use chemical cleaners.
Touchscreen care
The TSC7 Controller is extremely rugged, and is designed to withstand extreme conditions
and harsh treatment, however taking proper care of the touchscreen will prolong the life
and ensure optimal display performance of the touchscreen of this product. Excessive or
prolonged exposure to abrasives, oil, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet light can affect the
performance of your touchscreen over time.
To help protect the screen:
. Clean it frequently. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen. You can dampen the
cloth with water or an eyeglass cleaner. If the display is very dirty, it can be washed off
under a gently running tap.
AWARNING , Make sure that all ports and doors are fully closed, and that the
device is not connected to an external power supply. Do not use chemical or
abrasive cleaners.
- Keep it covered when not in use. Store the TSC7 Controller in a carry case or pouch
while you are in transit or not using it.
. Keep it out of the sun when not in use. Do not store the TSC7 Controller in direct
sunlight for a long time unnecessarily. Ultraviolet light and excessive heat from sun,
loading heat can damage the display.
. Use proper touchscreen tools. Use either fingers or the TSC7 Controller's stylus pen,
or other devices specifically designed for use with capacitive touchscreens to operate
the touchscreen of this device. The use of ballpoint pens, metal tools or other sharp
Trimble TSC7 Controller User Guide l 11
Safety information
objects to operate the touchscreen may scratch and/or damage the surface of the
touchscreen.
- Avoid drops, tumbles, and abrasives. The TSC7 Controller is designed to resist
damage for drops up to 122 cm (4 feet). However, you should protect the display from
impact, pressure, and abrasive substances that can scratch it or crack it. The device
should not be dropped unnecessarily. Use the screen protectors to keep the
touchscreen clean and protected, following the instructions provided on the screen
protector packaging.
Battery ca re
Use and storage temperature: Lithiumeion batteries are sensitive to high temperatures,
so keep the device's batteries out of direct sun for long periods, and do not leave batteries
in a hot car, especially on a dashboard in full sun or other environments where
temperatures can exceed +70 °C. Battery life can be shortened if stored or operated
outside of these temperature ranges. Recommended storage temperature is at room
temperature (~20’C). When you are using the device or charging the battery pack, it is
normal for the device and battery pack to get warm.
If the interior temperature of the device exceeds normal operating temperatures (for
example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may
experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature automatically:
. The device stops charging.
- If the device cannot regulate its internal temperature, it may go into a Sleep state until it
cools (see Sleep and Hibernate states, page 1).
Move the device to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before
trying to use the device again.
Charging: Recharge the battery any time; the battery pack does not need to be empty or
low before you recharge it. However, it is best to let the battery run to below 10 percent at
least once a month before you recharge it. Battery pack recharging is supported at
temperatures between 0 "C and +40 °C. Use only the manufacturer designated charging
accessories to recharge the batteries.
Other environmental conditions: Battery packs are sealed from water and dust, and are
tested for protection from drops from heights up to 1.22m. However to prolong the life of
the battery pack, dry it off with a cloth if it becomes wet, do not intentionally submerge the
battery, and take care to avoid unnecessary drops, mechanical shocks, and vibrations.
The TSC7 Controller is designed to work in ambient temperatures between 720° and 60° C
and to be stored in temperatures between 730° and 70° C. Avoid exposing the device to
dramatic changes in temperature or humidity.
