2.1 Preparing The 8525/8530 For Operation

Typically, 8525/8530 vehicle-mounts are configured at the factory and arrive ready

for use. Although the 8525/8530 is equipped with an internal Compact Flash slot, a

PCMCIA slot and SD I/O slot, these slots are not intended for user modification. If a

device needs to be changed or added in these slots, contact qualified Psion Teklogix

personnel. Refer to Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices for the

service number closest to you.

2.2 8525/8530 Safety Instructions

• The cord should be installed in the vehicle so that it is not subjected to

damage or stress.

• Use of an attachment to the power cord not recommended or sold by manu-

facturer may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.

• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of

an improper extension cord could result in fire or electric shock. If an exten-

sion cord must be used, make sure:

• The plug pins on the extension cord are the same number, size, and

shape as those on the adaptor.

• The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition

and that the wire size is larger than 16 AWG.

• When connected to the battery or AC adaptor, the mains power cord shall

comply with National safety regulations of the country where the equip-

ment is to be used.

• Do not operate the battery or AC adaptor with a damaged cord or plug.

Replace it immediately.

• Do not operate the AC adaptor if it has received a sharp blow, been

dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; it should be inspected by

qualified service personnel.

• Do not disassemble the AC adaptor; it should be repaired by qualified

service personnel. Incorrect reassembly may result in electric shock or fire.

• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the battery or AC adaptor from the

outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

• Do not expose the battery or AC adaptor to rain or snow.
