Tips for proper use and care of your computer
The Hammerhead 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 are keyed to go in only one way.
