WELCOME TO THE CAT® S42
The Cat S42 is a remarkable workhorse.
Whether you’re in the police force, or a first responder keeping us safe...
Or you work in a hospital and hygiene is your priority...
Or you’re a construction worker and you need a phone that’s tough enough to survive a building site, day after
day...
The Cat S42 is robust and reliable.
It's not just tough on the outside, it's sleek and sophisticated on the inside too.
This latest addition to the Cat phones portfolio includes notable upgrades. Faster connectivity, a better
camera, and more memory.
We designed the Cat S42 for dependability in extreme situations. With extended battery life, and a big bright
screen you can read in full sunlight and that works with gloves on, and of course it’s drop-proof.
And you can scrub it with hot water and soap. Useful in these times of essential hygiene vigilance.
Giving the protection and reliability you can expect from our Cat rugged credentials.
RUGGED CREDENTIALS
DROPPING YOUR DEVICE:
• Do: Use your device up to a height of 1.5 metres – it’s drop proof within this height range.
• Don’t: Throw it with force, or drop from above the 1.5 metre range – it’s durable, but not indestructible.
WATERPROOFING:
• Do: Use your device in damp and wet conditions. Ensure all components and covers are properly closed
before using in water. The device can withstand a depth of 1.5 metres, for up to 35 minutes.
• Don’t: Attempt to use it for longer than 35 minutes in 1.5 metres depth or beyond a 1.5 metre depth.
DUSTPROOF AND SCRATCHPROOF:
• Do: Use your device in dirty, dusty environments. The Cat® S42 is certified IP68, an industry standard
measure for durability.
EXTREME TEMPERATURES:
• Do: Use your device within the operational temperature range of -25º C to + 55º C. It can also handle
extreme changes in temperature: shifting between cold and hot, or vice versa very quickly.
• Don’t: Use it outside the range of 0º C to + 45º C without the use of protective gloves.
