10.1 Common Mistakes In Usage
The items listed in this section provide some helpful tips to point you in the right
direction if you run into problems.
10.1.1 Powering Up/Down
• Please note that the function of the 8580/8590 power switch varies depend-
ing on how the device is configured (depending on the power supply and
integrated automatic shutdown).
• Only disconnect the computer from the power supply after the computer
has been properly shut down and switched off. Otherwise file errors may
occur on the storage device (in operating systems that have no activated
write protection filter).
10.1.2 Cable Cover
• The supplied cable cover for the external ports must be installed prior to
using the 8580/8590. In order to comply with protection class IP65, please
use the optionally available IP65 assembly kit from Psion Teklogix.
10.1.3 Installation
• Only use mounting brackets and screws recommended by Psion Teklogix.
• Ensure that ball-and-socket bases and fastening arms are securely attached.
• Follow the instructions carefully when attaching all outgoing cables to the
strain relief rail.
• The top cover hood of the wireless card is there to protect the card and
should not be used as a handle when turning the terminal.
• All fastening brackets and mounting parts supplied by Psion Teklogix are
only intended for use in the mounting of terminals and peripheral devices
and may not be used for other purposes.
• However, changing conditions during installation may result in operating
states where it may be necessary to optimize the mounting process. Care-
fully follow the Appendix D, “Mechanical Dynamic Loading”.
• When mounting peripheral devices, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
This is particularly important when welding or drilling supporting parts.
• To avoid any accidents, make sure your field of vision is not restricted in
any way when mounting peripheral devices. Observe all accident preven-
tion regulations.
