Operation and Storage
The LATITUDE Programming System requires special handling. The internal
hard drive of the Model 3300 Programmer must be protected from abusive
handling. To protect the device from damage, refer to the following information:
•
DO NOT turn off the LATITUDE Programming System while the internal
hard drive is accessing data.
•
DO NOT subject the LATITUDE Programming System to shocks or
vibrations.
•
DO NOT place a magnet on the Programmer.
•
DO NOT pour or splash liquid into or onto the Programmer.
•
DO NOT strike, scratch, nick, or otherwise mar the touchscreen surface.
Be sure to use only fingers or a capacitive stylus on the touchscreen.
•
DO NOT disassemble the LATITUDE Programming System.
•
When transporting the LATITUDE Programming System from an outside
environment to an inside environment, allow the LATITUDE Programming
System to acclimate to ambient temperature before use.
•
Turn off the LATITUDE Programming System when not in use and prior to
transporting it.
•
Unplug all external cables and cords prior to transporting the LATITUDE
Programming System.
•
Keep the vents on the bottom of the Programmer free from obstruction.
Operating and transport conditions are listed in "LATITUDE Programming
System Nominal Specifications" on page 67.
If the LATITUDE Programming System has been stored outside of its normal
operating conditions, let it sit at ambient temperature until it comes up to
operating temperature range before use.
While the Programmer is in operation, the fan will automatically turn on and off
as needed to maintain optimum internal temperature. The LATITUDE
Programming System is capable of continuous operation and will not shut off
automatically if unused for an extended period of time.
CAUTION:
The LATITUDE Programming System is not waterproof or
explosion-proof and cannot be sterilized. Do not use the Programmer in the
presence of flammable gas mixtures including anesthetics, oxygen, or nitrous
oxide.
CAUTION:
The Model 6753 Lithium-ion battery contains highly flammable
chemicals and should be handled with caution. Abuse of this battery can result
in fire or explosion. Read the following prior to using this battery:
•
Do not expose the battery to temperatures above 140°F (60°C).
•
Do not puncture the battery as it can lead to a fire or explosion. If the
battery housing is punctured, or otherwise visibly damaged, do not attempt
to use it.
•
Do not strike the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts.
