Touchscreen care
The rugged T100 tablet is rated IP65, 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:
l Clean it frequently. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen. You can dampen the
cloth with water or an eyeglass cleaner.

device is not connected to an external power supply. Do not use chemical or
abrasive cleaners.
l Keep it covered when not in use. Store the T100 tablet in a carry case while you are in
transit or not using it.
l Keep it out of the sun when not in use. Do not store the T100 tablet in direct sunlight
for a long time unnecessarily. Ultraviolet light and excessive heat from sun-loading heat
can damage the display.
l Use proper touchscreen tools. Use either fingers or the T100 tablet's EMR stylus, 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
objects to operate the touchscreen may scratch and/or damage the surface of the
touchscreen.
l Avoid drops, tumbles, and abrasives. The T100 tablet is designed to resist damage for
drops up to 122 cm (4 feet) onto hard surfaces such as wood and concrete. However,
you should protect the display from impact, pressure, and abrasive substances that
