MAINTENANCE
The CE8000 Series units are reliable instruments and require little
maintenance. Only occasional replacement of the battery and strap is
required.
It is important not to leave the CE8000 Series unit exposed to the sun for long
periods of time since the airtight casing may accumulate sufficient heat to
cause a malfunction.
NOTE: There are no user serviceable parts inside the CE8000
Series unit. Do not try to open the case. Any attempt to do
so may affect the weatherproofing, damage the unit as well
as void the warranty.
Main Battery
maintenance
The high quality Lithium-Ion battery installed by DAP in your CE8000 Series
unit is specified by the battery manufacturer to be rechargeable over 500
times. If you find that the batteries are not lasting for the normal period (at
least 8 hours) after having been recharged, it may be time to change them.
When used under normal conditions, the main battery should last, on average,
from 12 to 24 months.
Backup
Battery
Maintenance
The CE8000 Series backup battery allows you to keep programs and data in
the CE8000 memory for years without being replaced. Being rechargeable
and protected against deep discharge, the backup battery will not need to be
replaced during the expected lifetime of the CE8000 Series unit.
Cleaning
Use a normal soft cloth and mild soap to clean the CE8000 Series unit. Do
not use abrasives as they may damage the finish.
Make certain that the battery compartment and PC-Card door are correctly
closed before starting the cleaning operation.
Shipping The
Unit
The CE8000 Series units have been designed to resist the vibration and shock
that can occur during normal use of the product. However, if it is necessary
to ship one of these units any long distance, the handling involved in land and
air transportation can often subject these units to impact beyond that for
which they where designed to withstand. It is therefore essential that the
CE8000 Series units be properly packed in an adequate and appropriate
manner before being shipped.
The packing box that DAP TECHNOLOGIES uses for shipping the CE8000
Series unit to its customers was designed for this very purpose and should,
therefore, be set aside and kept in case reshipping becomes necessary.
