Caring for your handheld

Your handheld is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide
years of trouble-free service. Please observe the following general tips
when using your handheld:

Take care not to scratch the screen of your handheld. Keep the

screen clean. When working with your handheld, use the supplied
stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-
sensitive screen. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp
object on the surface of the handheld screen.

Your handheld is not waterproof and should not be exposed to

rain or moisture. Under extreme conditions, water may enter the
circuitry through the front panel buttons. In general, treat your
handheld as you would a pocket calculator or other small
electronic instrument.

The touch-sensitive screen of your handheld contains a glass

element. Take care not to drop your handheld or subject it to any
strong impact. Do not carry your handheld in your back pocket: if
you sit on it, the glass may break.

Protect your handheld from temperature extremes. Do not leave

your handheld 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 handheld in any location that is extremely

dusty, damp, or wet.

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your handheld. If the surface of the

handheld screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth
moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
