Maintaining Your SPT 1700 Terminal
Introduction
This chapter provides information to help you take proper care of your SPT 1700 terminal
and prolong battery life. It also discusses how to reset your SPT 1700 terminal.
Caring for Your SPT 1700 Terminal
Your SPT 1700 terminal is designed to be reliable and to provide years of trouble-free
service. However, you should observe the following tips when using your SPT 1700
terminal:
•
Take care not to scratch the screen of your SPT 1700. When working with your SPT
1700, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-
sensitive screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil or other sharp metallic object on
the surface of the SPT 1700 screen.
•
Although your SPT 1700 is water and dust resistant, it should not be exposed to
rain or moisture for an extended period of time. In general, treat your SPT 1700 as
you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
•
The touch-sensitive screen of your SPT 1700 contains a glass element. Take care
not to drop your SPT 1700 or subject it to any strong impact.
•
Protect your SPT 1700 from temperature extremes. Do not leave your SPT 1700
on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from heaters and other
heat sources.
•
Do not store or use your SPT 1700 in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or
wet.
•
Use a soft lens cloth to clean your SPT 1700. If the surface of the SPT 1700 screen
becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with diluted isopropyl alcohol
(rubbing alcohol).
