Hard drive compartment:
The hard drive compartment allows field upgrades or repairs
without opening the HAMMERHEAD RT. Some customers may
have IT Departments that will be trained to replace hard drives at
the customer location. You should not open the hard drive
compartment without the proper training from WalkAbout

Tips for proper use and care of your computer
The HAMMERHEAD RT is a rugged field computer, but it is an electronic
device and reasonable precautions should be taken:
• Don’t subject the computer to extreme heat by placing it on the
dashboard of a vehicle with the display facing the sun.
• Don’t store the computer in temperatures below -40 °C.
• Don’t pile tools or heavy objects on top of the computer.
• Avoid severe impacts, especially on the display glass.
• Don’t try to take the computer apart. Special tools are required to
disassemble the computer. Disassembly of the unit by
unauthorized personnel may void the warranty.
• Don’t use excessive force when inserting PC Cards into the
CardBus slots, as they keyed to go in only one way.
